Moderator's Report

Lots of the slower cars taken at Stardust with drivers saving their tokens. A win for Robert Fleurke in the Cooper despite a couple of tangles. Bob Whitwell takes 2nd & fastest lap in the Brabham & Iestyn is 3rd.


Server replay time: 0h02m24s

At the end of lap 2 Bob has a moment exiting the last turn. Rob has to take evasive action, as such they both lose momentum. Greg Taber was following in 3rd. He takes the opportunity to pass the 2 leading cars on the left. There was probably sufficient room on the main straight by Greg takes to the pit lane (which may have seemed the safer option) & emerges leading the race. Iestyn, in the next car, is probably surprised to see the Honda barrelling out of the pits but it does not impede him. Gregs speed at the exit to the pits was 151mph - at the same point on the next lap about 152mph. There was no discerned advantage. Iestyn also overtakes the two leading cars on track. This is a technical rejoin situation & a penalty would apply if another had been impeded.


Server replay time: 0h08m37s

Rob has a good run out of T7 & takes a gap at the left to overtake Arf. Rob stays left & achieves substantial overtake but his rear is clipped as Arf moves over. Both drivers are bumped off but can continue.

Fault lies with Arf for moving across, even though the gap was narrow & it wasn't an obvious passing point.

No other drivers involved & Rob requested that no penalty is given. This has been taken into account in the moderation.

Season 28 Works Trophy - Round 2 - Stardust

Round 2 will be run at Stardust, a new track for UKGPL.

Stardust International Raceway was an auto racing track in Spring Valley, in the Las Vegas Valley. It featured a flat, 3-mile (4.8 km), 13-turn road course, and a quarter-mile drag strip. It was built in 1965 by the Stardust Hotel and Casino to attract high rollers to the hotel.  In 1966 it began hosting the season finale of the Can-Am championship. In 1968 the USAC Championship Car series held a race at Stardust. The hotel was sold in 1969, and the new owners largely abandoned the track.

Driver lists and token rules can be found on the championship standings page

Moderating The red zone will be fully moderated. For this event the red zone will be from the start to the exit of T6 on the first lap. Other moderation will be on reported incidents only.  However any incidents that occur in the red zone that are not reported by the drivers may be reported by the moderator.  This will allow all affected drivers the opportunity to present their case before the incident is moderated.  This should ensure there are no surprises when the moderator's report is published and hence appeals will be less likely

The chassis token system is explained on the Works standings page. Please ensure you choose a chassis that is within your budget, which can be seen by hovering the mouse over your points total in the standings.

Please restrict chat to pit messages including at the end of the race until ALL drivers still racing have crossed the line.

Some very quick times up front.  I struggled tonight, a long way off the pace and then after being lapped I put a wheel in the sand in a braking zone and couldn't stop.  Hit the barrier and lost a wheel. Race over  Sad

Hope to see you back soon Andreas, get well soon.

As for my race, it was a race of two halves. The first half was extremely cack-handed. I lost count of the amount of times I went off, spun and generally made a mess of things. The second half was somewhat better, with a few errors as opposed to a lot. Glad to have made the finish at least and grab some points. Congrats to all finishers Smiley.

Lost the engine lap 20, went away, came back for final lap. Heartbreak, Iestyn, very sporting (and a bit funny) GT. Cheesy

Grats to Robert and the podium , some very fast cars up front!!

First apologies...... to Doni, I had to take the pitlane when I got a tank slapper out of the final turn and it was the pits or the armco!!  Shocked. The armco option might have collected you too!! eek eek

Also sorry to Ray when I ran wide late in the race and I think he followed me in sympathy or avoidance at the end of the back straight?? I felt very guilty and let you retake the place.  Undecided

Some good racing until I bent something on the polos late in the race, and that prompted several more visits to the sand trap.

Bit of a lonely race at the back, got lapped twice and couldn't find the speed I had early on. Roll on Zandvoort and Albi.

Congrats Rob, Bob, and Iestyn! That was a wild one! I had a great deal of fun.

It made my day to lead a few laps in the Honda. My crazy banzai charge into the lead was a bit thrilling. I had to tell myself to "calm down" shortly after lap 1 before I committed hari kari. In hindsight that wasn't a very wise move. I probably should have gave 3rd back to Iestyn and shadowed the leaders for as long as I could. By hitting so many polos the first several laps, my speed and consistency were diminished. Without heavy pressure from behind, I doubt I would have hit so many.

In my opinion the finishing order was what it should have been. Rob had an excellent pace, Bob had the best car, and Iestyn drove the best race. I didn't quite have the speed to be a real contender for the podium. Iestyn's fueling error and Bob's late spins could have gave me a shot at 2nd place had I been consistent, but Iestyn and especially Rob beat up their cars as bad as I did mine. Very impressive Rob to get those lap times with such a damaged car. It looks like Iestyn may have given up some speed too with his damage. You should have whipped us all Bob with that fancy Brabham.

Iestyn! 2:27 for a final lap time. That completely ruined your consistency. I got a good laugh when I saw in the replay your spin in the final turn. You got so lucky that you had a few drops of fuel left. I'm glad you didn't get stranded there. I had no idea what was happening on the last lap. I started falling apart the last few laps. Unsure of my car probably helped put me into a mild state of confusion before the race had ended. I thought Iestyn was waiting for me or something. I didn't know why. No reason to pity me and he never made any mistake that caused me problems. Had I known Iestyn ran out of fuel, I may have passed him. I glad I didn't though. He did me a big favor leaving me the outside line after the start. That was a very nice showing of skill and patience. I had hoped to slow earlier than I did but Dean got such a great start there was little room behind me. I had hoped Iestyn could get in front of me and come across on a wider line. I'm glad I could return the favor later.

I really enjoyed that race. I had more fun driving the Honda here than I ever did with the Eagle or Ferrari. With some more practice and some minor changes to the setup, the Honda ought to make a nice improvement in performance here. With some more experience, these races could become even more fun.

Thanks for the fun guys. I'm very pleased to be let in all this action. When I can see the possibilty of having even more fun in the Works series, I may continue to race with you all, as long as I am allowed. Long live UKGPL!


the pits or the armco!!


Check out lap 1 Clive! That's how you use the pits. lol I thought I could pull off that stunt without wrecking anybody else. I wasn't sure about myself though. I had a detrimental effect on Iestyn's concentration but I can live with that. The laugh he got from it, was likely greater than the inconvenience. Smiley

That was an action packed event, and an extremely lucky win for me...

Quali was great with a huge PR. The Cooper is such a nice handling car. Bob got the better start, and had to concede at T1. Then he spun out of the last turn, and I chose the wrong (right) side to avoid him, going off and both Greg and Iestyn went by. Later Bob had a good run at the backstraight, and I did give too much room, stayed too much at the right and hit polo's, and spun. In the aftermath ran over some polo's and went wide, losing a lot of trackposition and time. Had to slot in behind Dean.

Robert Fleurke - spotters reporting:
minor problems with right rear tire.
medium problems with right rear suspension.

Was really annoyed by those mistakes, the steering was still straight but car felt tight. Still was determined to make the best of the race and to get back to the leaders. Could pass Dean who went slightly wide at T2 and I had a good early exit. Then was behind Arf, set myself up to pass him at the s/f straight. But twice went too eager on the throttle and went sideways. Then got a good run out of T7 at the backstraight, there was a gap at the left and tried to stay left as possible. Almost cleared him when I felt a touch sending me into a tankslapper, and Arf sadly went off...but glad to see he could continue, with some damage tho...

After that hit some polo's again a few times, messing up my RF.

Robert Fleurke - spotters reporting:

By then was 4th again trying to close up with the leaders. Despite the car turning difficult especially at the left turns, the steering was still straight, and my laptimes were still respectable or even good. Even tho Bob seemed to have the best racepace.

Got closer to Greg who ran great in the Honda, and after some laps got by him when he went sideways out of the last turn. Then Bob spun at T7, and was second about 6s behind Iestyn I think. Was able to close the gap, thought Iestyn was managing his lead, but at some point I did suspect he ran out of fuel. Stayed patient and got by him in the penultimate lap taking the checkers first!

Again, extremely lucky win with the mistakes and damage, and others' bad luck. Well done Bob salvaging P2, you had the pace to win m8! Wink Also kudos to Iestyn running great in the BRM, and Greg for running great in the Honda, but had preferred you took away some pts of Iestyn who must be my biggest rival  angel

Well done all finishers, tough track with the polo's. Still to me it's a great track for close racing, which was proved last night. Very drivable and raceable track. Commiserations to the retirements...

Thanks all for racing! Smiley
