UKGTL Season 17 1971 RAC British Saloon Car Cham - Goodwood - Aug 28

[Wiltshire Tony]

IMPORTANT

Server and race announcement now revised for Goodwood.

Hillman/Sunbeam Imps will still require a fuel stop.

[Erling G-P]

Real shame; really came to love Croft during the testing, but probably the wisest decision.

Puzzled by the fuel problems with the Imp - is this an unusually long race Tony ? (38 laps of Goodwood does sound a bit extreme).

Cheers,
Erling

One quick test lap in a capri gets 1:23 for me which is 29 laps or so, say a fast person in a BOSS (if anyone has any drives left)
would be 31 laps at best. One quick lap in an Imp gets 1:37 for me, so in 30 laps the Imp would be lapped 5 times....

This Cinderby fellow, who holds the lap records for the Mini 1275, is he a registered alien ?

Just done some preliminary laps, and his laptimes seems like science fiction.. 

Cheers,
Erling

Mark was a quick driver but I suspect an anomaly in the results. If you look at the race announcement there was a Mini 1310S available and I suspect he drove the nuts off it. It was his first race in this series so he was entitled to take the 1310.
On inspection the admin system doesn't have a specific entry for a Mini 1310 so that is why it is shown in the results as a 1275.

This is a long race (as was Croft). Unfortunately the Imp's have a very small fuel tank. Hence the need to pit for fuel.

I hope for you that when you got 1:23 your Capri was with one perforated tyre

Which makes it 32 laps in 40 mins then 

[Ziu Bacubacu]

AHAHAHAHAH !!!!!! 


Sorry but I'm dying to laughter so much

[Wiltshire Tony]

I can tell you that 30 laps can be done in 45mins, just not saying in which car 

[Geoffers]

Bit confused by the number of laps you guys keep talking about, the race announcement says 38 laps!

Offline I can only do 30 laps (I could change the no of laps in the track file but I would forget to change it back afterwards)
It is a 38 lap race

[phspok]

I coudl take 45 mins to do 30 laps in an Imp, if it didn't have a Ziu booster fitted.

I think this is first Season we've had the 1275 Mini to drive but of course I could be wrong! We did use the 1310 Mini in a Series and I think I won it by finishing every race. Kurt was ahead of me in last race and he over cooked it leaving me to win Series but I could have been away with the Piskies.

50% correct Bill. This is the first season with the 1275 Mini mod. But the series you won was this'n https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=373&theme=5 which featured the awesome KAD works Mini which is something else again. This was back in the era that historians will refer to as being "Pre-Erling".
