Season 31 Historic Trophy – Round 1 - Zolder 67
The first race of this season will be at Zolder in Belgium. In the days before Spa became a permanent fixture on the F1 calendar, ten grand prix were run at Zolder. Most famously in 1982 when Gilles Villneuve tragically lost his life during qualifying. The new Zolder 67 version is a great piece of track building by Ginetto.
This race is for cars with 2 Litre engines.

The traditional Historics handicapping system will be used for this season with the drivers leading the championship being limited to the slower chassis. As this is the first race all drivers have a free choice of chassis (even Tristan!).

Hi there, Phil! I understand that there is a 'free choice' of car for this first round but I have to ask if the selection nominated will be taken into account for future races? Will it be OK to use the same car later in the season?

Hi Doni Everyone gets a free choice for this race (it is a personal choice if the faster drivers opt for a slower car). In subsequent races the drivers leading the championship will be restricted to the slower cars. There are no specific restrictions which limit how many times you can use a particular car. The rules are on the the championship standings page.

D'oh! Fell victim to the sandbank on the first corner about 3/4 race distance. Pity that as I was having a brilliant battle with Axel & Greg for most of the race. Not too sure what happened at the first corner. Felt like going back to the first day of school . Good luck to those still running.

Not a good omen for new season: engine went with 8 laps left, robbed me of a very comfortable P3, which might have become a win. Grats Tris and podium.

Hmm, well nice to get some track time albeit from a lap behind almost everyone. Eventually found a bit of rhythm in the last 5 laps but was a long way behind anyone. Hope I didn't get in anyone's way.
@clive sorry I think I got in your way during qualifying.

Doh x 2
I meant to upshift, but instead I downshifted. Then the engine lost power. So I thought that I damaged the engine. I did not realize that I had actually ran out of fuel. I could have refueled!
@ Billy, sorry if I had a bad rejoin on lap 18. I turned around on track. I need to practice making donuts before the next race.
Good race, Walter

Nice to see a full grid for the opening race of the season.
Server replay now available via the link in the first post of this thread.
I need to moderate this race before the next round because the handicapping is based on championship position. So please submit your incident reports in the next couple of days so I have a chance of moderating the race on time.
