Season 38 1965F1 – Round 9 – Professionals - Funabashi

We are off to Japan for Round 9. The Funabashi circuit was constructed in 1965 on a section of the Tokyo Bay waterfront in Funabashi City. It was a very small track that was well suited to the Honda S600 and Toyota Sports 800 which were the popular Japanese Sports cars at the time. However, it didn't take long for the cars to outgrow the little circuit. Soon tracks like Suzuka and Fuji, larger venues capable of hosting truly world class competitions, began to overshadow Funabashi. Cash flow issues led to management disputes, and after just 35 races in two years Funabashi Circuit closed its doors July 1967.

Finally got my connection issues sorted, it appeared that my PC didn't consider twirling a wheel and pressing pedals as activity and was going into Sleep Mode every 15 mins. So have reset Sleep More to 2 Hrs and also gave the mouse a nudge every 10 mins to be sure.

Came here with no practice and stuck in my Sandown set up, bottom 4 gears were OK, so just ran with that. Ran onto the grass on L2 and was recovering nicely, when Evil decided to tend the lawn as well, stuck me close to the back of the field , chased Fulvio until he ran wide on the last turn and I got my nose ahead, then we touched when I braked into T1. Got stuck in the bales three times after that and had to reverse out, so firmly last, but was catching Fulvio at 1 sec per lap and with about 10 to go he ran wide in the slow hairpin and I got through. Set off after the next car , AnGex, and it looked like it could be a close last lap until a spin lost me time so that was that. Just delighted to get a full race once again.

Hi all

I am the lucky one of the evening with this victory.
Tristan who Freeze and Evil then leader who runs out of gasoline on the last lap while I myself only had enough to do 1 more lap.

Happy to ride with Andréas 

Thank you to everyone and to the organization

Yeah, you were that bit faster then myself and also I was short on fuel towards the End. Sorry for your spin. But all in all I was happy to be racing again!
Congratulations to the Podium.
