UKGPL Season 37 (2020) 1967 F1 Grand Prix - Zeltweg - Nov 22

Yes Billy,
in quali there is a big difference in the approach in my head, I can only risk that much to get back into the pits.
Strangely enough, my pole was a completely relaxed lap with no ambitions, everything went smoothly and the line was almost perfect.

IMO there is no difference in driver levels between GP and Sprint

It might be the heavier fuel load ( coz it is HEAVY in the early laps!!) and also the knowledge that there are many, many laps to complete. The standard of driving, considering the tight competition, has been first class with very few incidents and no moderating reports.

I suspect that it is a combination of heavier fuel load, careful driving and no rush to make a pass with a lot of laps still to run. Also the no Shift/R probably adds a note of caution in the early laps. No-one wants to be out of a 90 minute race in the first 5 minutes with an ill judged dive at T1!!

A bigger factor is that the speed differential between the top and the bottom of our league is a lot closer than it was years ago. Plus, we must remember that not all of those running the full GP are PRO, and not all of those doing the sprint are AMS.

   The invited pilots, Ricardo Ramos and Thiago Lemos, are veterans in GPLBrasil, in true gentlman drivers race, due to the quick explanation before qualy there may be some mistake in qualy, but in race I'm sure of their postures within the spirit of GPLBrasil and UKGPL , I apologize if they were included incorrectly, but there were actually errors in communication, but the best thing is that they did not get into trouble in the race!

[Phil Thornton]

No problem JonnyO, it was my fault. In my haste to welcome the new drivers I forgot to pass their details onto Clive (the Divisional Moderator for the GP races). Hence they were unexpected entrants. Sorry for the confusion but I didn't want any of our great friends from GPLBrasil to miss out.

[Rainier]

Yes, I confirm.
I was fighting with Thiago during the first laps and everything was OK.
