Season 38 1965F1 – Round 5 – Amateurs - Parana

For those racing their 1967 cars at the weekend in Argentina, stay a couple more days and don't forget to hitch your 1965 car to the back of the transporter.
Paraná is the capital of Entre Ríos province, to the north of Buenos Aires. The Autódromo Ciudad de Paraná has a history going back to 1941, but was a dirt track with various layouts until asphalt was finally laid in 1969. The track has never hosted a championship F1 race, but has seen many national and international races for cars and bikes. Carlos Reutemann was a F2 champion here. It is a wide track allowing easy overtaking on long straights. There are tight corners too and it runs in an anti-clockwise direction.

Could not connect sadly. Kept getting a "10051: Error Found In The Network" while trying to connect through iGOR and direct IP.

That is a shame. Did you manage to connect to the server earlier in some practice sessions?

That was a very tough race. I couldn't get anywhere near the pace of Pete and Leo but I had a mighty battle with Eric and Philippe. Good clean racing but I had to resort to a very hard pass to get past Eric on the last lap. No contact and I think it was clean but inches to spare. The Honda seems to be a bit down on power exiting the corners but maybe that is my driving?

Congrats podium!
From the GPLRA report, looks as though there were a few long-fought battles.

On that subject - thanks for the workout Paul. That was intense throughout!

I had no idea I'd managed to collect the full house so soon:

Code:

3m54.740s
Dave 65 Curtis - spotters reporting:
medium problems with right front tire.
medium problems with right rear tire.
severe problems with right front suspension.
medium problems with right rear suspension.
the car has an engine problem.

(probably says a lot for my driving & lack of practice!)

But the car was definitely happier with your tow. I was really having to cane it in the later stages with the hope of staying ahead. Although unlucky right at the end.

Cheers,
Dave.

I tried connecting before the qualifiers for practice - no luck. I'll try again some other time.

Congrats to Pete for a great win. Thanks to Dave for sorting the server issues.

The connection last night was solid as a rock. No warping or glitches at all for me. Hope it was as good for everyone else.

Thanks Dave for some of the most enjoyable laps of racing I've had in a long time.. what an incredible difference it was from our previous visit to Parana only a few days back.

The Lotus 33 was a beaut compared to the 67 Honda last time, so much so I wasn't at all sure about the track, but after last night I love it. Fairly technical but challenging with a nice flow.

I only made one mistake when I had a bit of a wobble which allowed Dave through after many enjoyable laps, I tucked in as close as I could and chased him to the finish as best as I could. It was great racing. Feel like I'm getting my mojo back a little.

Took time to invest a few bits of wisdom from Phil... thanks mate.. so I'm running a different FOV/POV and a changes to my wheel set up, and along with a little more on track practice and improved setups things are going well for me.

Even after 20+ years GPL still has lots more to give, and more secrets to uncover.

Sad to see a few spinning cars at the start, I hope everyone was OK?. I think every starter did finish ok and no disco's ?

Cheers again one and all... see you next time

This race was a nightmare for me.
Again, I had big troubles when I was in 5th gear. With a sudden loss of power on straight lines.
Several cars easily overtook me on the straight before and after the finish line.

I remember Cadwell or Oulton Park, the first races of this series, when I had not these troubles and could, more or less, follow the leader.

I was following Billy during the biggest part of the race but never was able to overtook him until leaders were lapping us.
Billy was going on the grass, at this moment, and I could overtake him ...not sure it was a great fair play operation oops

Probably I have to clean my pedals, but what I can't understand is it does not happen with all the mods (it seems almost OK with 67 and 55).
