Season 38 MIXED OPEN WHEEL – Round 8 – Vallelunga
For this round, the MOW entrants will drive the 1967 Formula 2 cars at Vallelunga. The Autodromo Vallelunga Piero Taruffi is a racing circuit situated 32 km (20 miles) north of Rome, Italy, near Vallelunga of Campagnano.[1] Vallelunga was built as a sand 1.8 km (1.102 miles) oval in 1959.[2] From 1963 the circuit held the Rome Grand Prix, and in 1967 a new loop was added when the track became the property of the Automobile Club d'Italia (ACI). Further refurbishment was undertaken in 1971. The track is named for the famous Italian racing driver Piero Taruffi. PLEASE CHECK YOU HAVE THE 1971 VERSION OF THE TRACK. THE LINK IN THE RACE POST WAS CHANGED ON SATURDAY NIGHT.THE '71 VERSION RUNS IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION TO THE EARLIER 67 LAYOUT.

Drivers entering this series must select a manufacturer group and keep to that group for the whole season. Where more than one chassis is allocated to the group you can select any car.

The full time drivers can start to practice as soon as the server is available. Reserve drivers can also join as soon as the server becomes available but must leave the server with 35 minutes of qualifying left, for a total of 5 minutes; this will allow any remaining full timers to join. If there is enough space on the grid, the reserve drivers will be able to rejoin when there are 30 mins of qualifying left.

Sorry Billy , but it was expected to race my 71 version as for the Registration, not the '67 version I've just downloaded it, in case you need to practice? EDIT: and after a couple of laps, even I can tell vallelun is quite different. Those kerbs seem higher for starters! (as well as the track going the other way round of course - just for the benefit of anyone else who is not aware). Thanks for mentioning it, although does not look as though this version of the track exists in the local DB yet. Cheers. Dave.

On test server there is the '71 version, The curbs are like there were on '71, and no run off area like were built in '90s.

This is fun. Vallelunga without the tricky jump. All it needs now is a bit of a graphics update.

Anyone wants to do some graphics update is welcome and I can give him all my source files. I had worked a lot for accurate altitudes and banking from real data and didn't spent too much for eyes candy. I hope you like the track.

Édit: Ah, yes, it's tomorrow! a little time to ride Hi Christian, if you have not done this already, you will need to vote to enter this series at: https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=23412Also, you will need to choose a car group [1-9] from https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=1302&theme=6As mentioned to the last entrant, you may need to wait on race night to see if a slot is available, as it's become a popular series. Cheers, Dave.

Christian,
You drove in the Privateer Class in the 55 race yesterday. You can select from any Manufacturer class, but you will have to stay with Brabham for the rest of the season. (Excellent choice in my opinion).
I don't think we have had a full grid this season. If there is a slot free after 9pm you are welcome to join.
