Season 33 Extra – Round 5 – Hockenheim
Season 33 Extra will be an unofficial championship of 8 races over the next few weeks using the original 1967 mod. Round 5 will be at Hockenheim, using the 60’s layout of this famous German track with a straight run down to the Ost Curve.
No registration required & the series is open to all comers.
This will be run as mixed grid. There is a free choice of chassis, although Pro drivers should not take the Lotus or the Eagle. Points will be scored according to the traditional method of 9 for 1st, 6 for 2nd, 4 for 3rd, 3 for 4th, 2 for 5th & 1 for 6th.
Have fun, but please observe GPL rules & driving standards.

Please remind me. If my car is a tad wonky, can I drive into the pits and do a shift-r without making another stop for a stop-n-go?

First of all - I'm not an official spokesperson for the rules But no, feel free to reset anywhere, but will still need to enter the pits for a stop & go within 2 laps. Of course, you could try what you are suggesting - but you may well end up with an 'incorrect pitstop' time penalty (or disqualification!) Cheers, Dave.

This is my view on taking Shift/R in the pitlane voluntarily, but I would add the caveat that it is down to the moderator in any race.
I have always understood that, when they are allowed, taking a Shift/R anywhere on the track requires that a SnG is taken within 2 laps. Except where a driver limps back to the pits and performs a Shift/R there. The reasoning being that driving a wounded car back to the pits + the effect of stopping for the Shift/R and getting up to speed on cold tyres and full fuel covers the penalty.

When you do a shift+r in the pits you will be put on the track doing this, so there is no exit of the pits but a sudden standing on a race line maybe!
In such a case I do make a shift+r at the slowest point of the track and then a conform s+g.

Limping back to the pits & taking a SNG would be an incorrect SnG. As this is not a full blown series championship I might moderate such a scenario with some discretion. If you are looking for authenticity driving a 3 wheeler for half a lap, taking a shift R 10 yards before the pit lane & ducking straight into the pits for a SnG is quite acceptable.

It was an impressive race of Pelle, he disappeared !!!! I did a 100% run without error and managed to get past Axcel ...... but during the race he was faster and got second place at the end. If the driver misses Hockenhein takes a long time to recover, I think this was the problem of the other drivers.

What a great track for 67 cars. The drift through the Ost curve was quite awesome.

That was dreadful for me. I think that I bit off more than I could chew with the Honda and couldn't keep it on the tarmac for more than a few laps.
I always did need a Lotus to cope with aliens!
My first spin came on lap one, when I was expecting to be rear ended on the way into the stadium and paid too much attention to where the cars behind might be so that I forgot to concentrate enough on getting myself around the corner! Doh!

I got disco'd at the end of qually and just made it to join the back of the grid. My sights were set on Clive's Honda up ahead, but I also knew that this was a track where without a tow, you just cannot keep up. A few people had problems ahead, Clive was one of them and I passed him . I think there were 3 consecutive laps where I had caught cars through the stadium and was looking forward to a lovely slipstream down the long straight. But 3 different cars and 3 different laps the car I was planning on slipstreaming, caught me out by braking far earlier than I was for T1. I had to take avoiding action and found myself trimming the grass so short that you could play snooker on it!!! After that I could see cars ahead and I could close up through the stadium but a mistake on the fuel meant I was carrying an extra 10 galls of fuel and each time we hit the main straight I just could not match their acceleration. For lap after lap I chased them but just could not get the tow.......... It was nice to drive the Waza again, just wish that I had checked the fuel tank before the start. Grats to the podium and all those who made it to the finish.

Mixed race for me, Hadn't had much time to practice so was pleased to have got into the 1:53's in Q, Lined up 6th on the grid and we were off. Lost ground on the leaders and had Greg breathing down my neck. Decided my defence was killing both our lap times so tried to let him past by running wide off track between the final 2 turns to let him through but he followed me and as I slowed hit me from behind spinning me around. The car didn't feel right after that. Oversteer on right handers and understeer when turning left really hurt me through the stadium section. Slowly came to terms with it but not until late race by whch time I was down in 7th chasing Dave's Lotus. Managed to wring the Ferrari's kneck and stay in contact down the straights and make up a bit through the Ost curve, but couldn't get close enough to make a serious challenge without taking us both out so was content to bring it home and score a few points after my recent DNF's.
Thanks guys, A blast as usual.
TTFN John.

After my disaster race at Zeltweg - Honda is 'mission impossible' on fast tracks - & after calendar, I must have forgotten Road America ...my choice for Hochenheim was Ferrari. Grats Cookie & Jonny Qual: My first attempt on this track in Ferrari & started to copy an Eagle setup, not good & copied my Ferrari setup from Monza, changed gearbox & more...it all ended up, perfect & Pole Race: The start was a bit scary because, my 2nd gear was heavy & fearing to lose a place before T1 or on the long side due to sleepstream, it went better than expected. After lap 1 it became a bit lonely, but kept 100% concentration & drove a perfect race with an incredibly good setup. The only thing I feared was the engine, came up at 106c. Unfortunate with some misunderstandings & those who did not come home completely Grats & Thx to you all here from Hockenhiem
