UKGPL Season 36 (2020) 1967 F1 Junior - Spa - Mar 29

Season 36 1967F1 – Round 6 –  Spa 67- Juniors


Season 36 is a joint series between GPL Brazil and UKGPL. This post is for the Junior division.
We’re into the second half of the season. This race will be at the Spa-Francorchamps track in Belgium, famous for incredibly high speeds, variable weather & being simply dangerous. I have a vivid memory of a rainsoaked GP in 1998 when Michael Schumacher went storming down the pit lane absolutely furious with David Coulthard. The start was one of the worst crash fests I have ever seen in F1, eventually won by Damon Hill in the Jordan. Funnily enough the first GPL race I entered at Spa started with a huge pile up into Eau Rouge. Just shows that we like to keep things real.
Just to say that we will be using the beautifully remodelled Spa 67 version, not the Papyrus original.

I start to hate my Fanatec.This time at the Eau Rouge the steering whell was blocked.I try to restart it but the game threw me out.Very good season in all the categories.
Better to read the coronavirus update

Unlucky Fran. I wish I could help but I'm not a Fanatec user

Well, that was disappointing. With a PB in qualifying I was 5th on the grid and feeling pretty much at peace with this homicidal track. At the end of L2 I mistakenly downshifted into neutral approaching the hairpin. That didn't work, of course, and I ended up face first into the wall. The cars closely trailing me easily shot by, but then I was hit by another car that had, I think, in turn been hit. I then screwed up a pass on the long straight to Masta, causing a reset and SNG. That put me last. I finished 7th, thanks to Dave and Billy making more mistakes in the last ten or twelve laps than I did.

Back to isolation . . .

I was having a brilliant race until the end of lap 12. On the exit of the second to last corner I put a wheel in the kerb and it spun me off and into the trees. A small mistake but this track is a killer. I needed a shift-R and S&G which dropped me 3 places from 3rd to 6th with no time left to catch up.

Grats to Axel and Andreas, they were a different class tonight. Good clean close racing with Billy, Eric and Ricardo. I had to push hard to try to keep Ricardo behind after he made a tiny mistake that let me through. Too hard as it turned out.

Thanks Dave

Lonely race until I had to lap Paul who had a panic reaction that made us both spin, luckily no harm was done and I could finish without problems.

@Paul
please just drive your line when you are going to be lapped, do not try to jump out of the way, it's less problematic for me to wait a second and make a save pass.

Is not the first time that happen this thing but one today and one yesterday seem too much.
After,i thoght,is obvious that the game trow away me out.To restart i must shut down the steering W.and in this way also Fairshift go in trouble,so there was no way to retrive the situation.
The only fortune,until now, is to stay out from corona.
