Season 36 - 69x Trophy – Round 4 - Laguna Seca 67
For the next round of the season 36 we go to Laguna Seca, a paved road racing track in central California used for both auto racing and motorcycle racing, built in 1957 near both Salinas and Monterey, California, United States. The racetrack is 2.238 miles (3.602 km) long, with a 180 feet (55 m) elevation change. Its eleven turns are highlighted by the circuit's signature turn, the downhill-plunging "Corkscrew" at Turns 8 and 8A. A variety of racing, exhibition, and entertainment events are held at the raceway, ranging from superkarts to sports car racing to music festivals. The name Laguna Seca is Spanish for "dry lagoon": the area where the track now lies was once a lake, and the course was built around the dry lake bed.

Good result for me in the old BT20. I think I drove fairly and cleanly apart from my spin at the corkscrew which resulted in Andreas hitting me and crashing out of the race. Sorry about that, I was very lucky and somersaulted back onto my wheels with no apparent damage. Sadly you were left upside down. I pressed on as fast as I could to build a gap to put pressure on the cars behind which seemed to work because they all got close but made minor errors and dropped back. It is tough to pass cleanly here. I was pleased with my pass on Fran at the corkscrew, a clean move but right on the limit! I managed to keep out of the way of the leaders when being lapped, that took some concentration.

I've loaded the chassis the drivers used into the token calculator spreadsheet. For the next race the available tokens will be as declared in the table below (the table will also appear in the next race announcement). The calculated values are automated but selecting the cars is a manual process so please check your tokens to make sure I haven't made a silly error. There was no token overspend for this round so no one is disqualified.

Except for the 1st lap, it was a race where I saw no other car ... The four, then three and finally two leaders were too quick from me and quickly disappeared from my view. And the cars following me had early troubles or were too slow (Phil with the BT20, what an idea !!) For the junior championship, I hoped Paul and Francesco could finish before Phil but they had troubles too. Grats Tristan and Fulvio, nice race Phil with your old car.

The BRM could be fragile if you are not enought carrefull whith trottle and clutch ....I burn 2 engines in qualifs so I was carrefull about rp/m and red zone ....Clive was faster , not mutch but enought why I can only follow.... I do a first error at the entry of the corkscrew before the explosion of his engine at lap 10 ...my second error was when I hit Paul at the breaking of corkscrew ....( very sorry mate ! :/ ...maby you slow down to let me pass on the left ?... happyly you can continue )...when I come back on track, I spinn in the haieballs and I take me long time to find the way out ....lost 3 places !...rest of the race was trying to recover the lead ....whith all the DNF , it was not very difficult but sade to don't have more drivers in this serie!

I was pleased with my pass on Fran at the corkscrew, My compliments,unexpected. It could have ended in disaster with profuse apologies from me but thankfully I managed to get it right. In hindsight it was risky move to make but passing here is very tough so when the opportunity was there I had to take it. The Junior championship is very tight, hopefully it will be a close 4 way fight all the way to the last round. More fun that way Incidentally, I'm not planning to take the BT20 again this season
