Moderator's Report

Summary
A race of attrition with numerous drivers falling foul of this unforgiving track. Greg Taber eventually emerged as the winner in a Maserati pressed all the way by Doni in a Silver Arrow. A somewhat distant third place went to Phil Thornton in a rather battered Lancia.


Server replay time: 0h01m08s

Lap 1 – Eau Rouge – Bastian Grupp, Durval Beccho, Francesco Molteni, Fulvio Policardi, Phil Thornton and Luiz Covisi

Dulima gets a great start in his Ferrari and gets the drop on Francesco. He dives into Eau Rouge with Francesco on his tail, but he has a bit of a wobble and Francesco easies off to avoid what looked like a possible spinning Ferrari. However, Dulima recovers and powers ahead but Fulvio is caught out by Francesco’s slowing Lancia. Contact is made and it starts a concertina with several cars piling into the back of each other. Thankfully most of the cars could continue without any apparent damage except for the unfortunate Luiz Covisi who was left stuck on the Armco and out of the race.

It would be harsh to apportion blame to a single individual for this incident. It is incumbent on all drivers to take care on the first corner, especially in these cars where the lack of effective brakes makes avoiding action very difficult. However, Fulvio Policardi, Phil Thornton and Bastian Grupp all made contact with the car ahead which suggests they were all driving a little too close and consequently they were more accountable for the pile-up than were the rest of the unfortunate participants. All drivers are encouraged to look beyond the car immediately in front in order to anticipate unfolding events and they should leave a sufficiently large gap such that some form of avoiding action would be possible in the event of an incident.

 Congrats podium!!!! Spa67 it may seem easy because it is a fast accelerator, but you are always on the razor's edge.

So, in the end, I took a chance and ran out of brakes, thank god i didn't take Phill out of the race, I hit him and he didn't roll over, it would be a sad ending for both of us.
I was expecting at attack at that point so I took a very wide line to give you space (I'm not sure I would of had the lock to get around the hairpin if I had taken the inside line) but it is very difficult to judge such a critical braking point in these cars. So if you had pulled it off it would have been a move worthy of a podium place.

I returned the position that was rightfully his and cross the finish line.
Thank you, very nice gesture. I nearly got stuck on a invisible wall that sticks out at the exit of the hairpin. Thankfully I could reverse off it!

I don't know if UKGPL has the possibility to upload images ...
If you have a web space ... you can usually access by ftp (file transfer protocol) ... upload your images and access them via its url in the form http://example.com/blabla.jpg

Congrats Doni and Phil!

That was unexpected. I thought I might use the slipstream to stay with the leaders. I didn't expect to win. I did drive good. My mistakes were few and small. My apologies for the bump at La Source, Axel.

I'm glad to see Doni drive a good car. He often does like JonnyO did this race. Doni was doing 175 mph in the tow. Smiley

plan fizzled out in the race after 2 laps with a smoking engine

When the engine went pop ( more of a pfuft! )

From my perspective it was much more impressive than that. I was covered in fire, smoke, and car parts. Axel's demise wasn't so spectacular. It's a shame you two didn't make it further.

Probably had nothing to do with the little red car that I was sticking pins in!    angel

Smiley Did it have 3 points like the trident I was using?

Thanks for the fun guys. Be careful with your speed shifts next time.

A well-deserved victory for Greg.  Great pace and skill that I just couldn't quite match.  Well done, GT.

A lucky P2 pour moi as both Evil and Axel fell to engine woes in the Lancias.  I'd be checking the warranty on those puppies.

Phil a fine P3 after a stirring duel with Dulima that wasn't settled til La Source on the last lap.  Good stuff there, gents.

The early laps were just a matter of hanging onto Evil, Axel and Greg in the slipstream.  This was relatively easy to do and indeed, when Axel's Lancia called it quits, Greg was left alone in the lead on the Masta and I sailed by like he dropped an anchor.  Later in the lap going up the hill after La Carriere, his exit speed there was substantially higher than mine and he retook the lead.  From there to the next lap on the Masta, he inched away to the point where catching the breeze off his Maser wasn't possible.  The tow was broken.  I settled into a comfy pace letting Greg streak away being content with P2 after the shambles of Zolder.
