BEWARE, THE TRACK IS DUNDROD (track directory dundrod) AND NOT DUNDROD1955  


Season 41 1967F1 WORKS – Round 6 –DUNDROD
We will drive the old (1965) version!


For the 6th race of the 1967 F1 WORKS Championship, we visit Dundrod in Northern Ireland. The Dundrod Circuit was first used in 1950 for the RAC Tourist Trophy Sports Car race and for the Formula One (non-championship) Ulster Trophy. The Sports Cars raced again in 1951 through to 1955 and the Formula 1 cars from 1951 through to 1953. The circuit comprised public roads closed for racing including a section of the B38 Hannahstown Road between Glenavy and Hannahstown, a section of the B101 Leathemstown Road from Leathemstown Corner to Dundrod and a section of the B153 Quarterland/Tornagrough Road from Cochranstown to the road junction of the B38 Upper Springsfield Road/Hannahstown Road at the Lindsay Hairpin. The last car race held on the Dundrod Circuit was the 1955 RAC Tourist Trophy race in which sadly there were 3 fatalities. The narrow, high-speed nature of the circuit, meant it was just too dangerous and since then it has only been used for motorcycle racing.

Ooh difficult one to learn!  Did a few laps last night with cookie, just 20 secs off the pace.  Shades of IOM TT.  Think I'd better jump into a cheaper car!

B****y track!

Same thing happened tonight as it did in the Sports Cars here a few weeks ago. All good in practice and then in the race, everyone disappeared (literally) as soon as the flag went down. two second later, everyone reappeared and then BOOM. Crashed into someone (sorry for that) and CTD.

I love this track but my experience of it online sucks. Such a shame. I hope I didn't kill anyone else in my efforts.

Pete, your car disappeared a couple of time on the start grid, then you reappered on my head on the straight and caboom, my car flyed and crashed on Tris head.  Alain was very good to brake and avoid my car rolling on my head, then he also hit my car trying to put it on his leg but didn't work, thanks Alain 

Grats to the podium and finishers from a puzzled Honda driver.

I opted for the white whale and the intention was simply to finish, although after trying to build a setup from scratch during quali, that seemed unlikely.

I got a reasonable start and must have slipped past Pete's flashing car when I also got past Jonny's bogged down BRM. I therefore missed the mass pile up. I think I was running 6th through lap 1 and Jonny was recovering quickly in his BRM, so I let him past as we crossed the line to start lap 2. Then going out through the countryside I got a tank slapper that sent me into a field, but I was able to spin the car 180 and spin up the wheels to avoid reversing into anything . I drove back across the field until I found a spot where I could re-join through the fence. Fortunately the gap behind me was huge and I did not lose any places.
As I re-joined the Prib readout changed and then changed again to show only 4 cars ahead ( none behind) and all in red, indicating that they were already onto lap 3??? which seemed unlikely. I drove on intent on avoiding any more "offs", but as I crossed the line to start my 3rd lap I was DQ'd??!!
I don't believe I jumped the start as I would have seen a warning and anyway it would not have caused the change to Prib 50% through lap 2.

Anyone have any ideas why I would have been DQ'd for recovering from the field???

I got DQ'd in the privs . Presumably for the same reason ?

Same here Clive. Missed a downshift, went in the fields and had to find a way back. A lap latter realized I was DQ.

Fun race thogh!

Congratulations Phil and Doni! Phil, it was good to see you racing again. It seems like a long time since I´ve seen you on the track.

Wow! I got lucky. It looked like I needed to run a few if not several 3:21s if I wanted to challenge Leo´s speed. I decided my best plan was; be careful, stay on the track, and see if I could be more consistent than Leo. It worked. Even after Leo went off at Deer´s Leap, I still thought he had a good chance to beat me or at least catch me. It was a big relief that I was able to run the last 2 or 3 laps somewhat slow.

This win has made this a great season for me. I thought I had a chance to win at Nurburgring with a Ferrari and at Dundrod with an Eagle. I didn´t have to use the Ferrari at the Ring and now I realize the Ferrari and the Lotus could have given me a good opportunity at Dundrod.

I thought that was fun too, Leo. That was a tough challenge for me. I did a good job maintaining my discipline, something I´ve been lacking in recent years. I wish I would have practiced a lot more. My setup is several years old. I´d like to set up the car with different ramp angles.

It´s a shame concerning the various problems drivers are having. I have some too, such as I can´t seem to get my computer hardware to run GPL flawlessly. I was getting stutters at Quarterlands on every lap. I had a difficult time seeing where I was going there. Clive, I think if you travel anymore than 20-30 meters in the wrong direction you will be disqualified. I always worry when I travel as much as 10 meters in the wrong direction. That´s the thing I dislike about Pearson´s tracks, sometimes you have to go a long ways to get back on the track. I have no idea what´s happening to Pete. It´s very strange that only one track would cause connection problems. Could it be one server is giving you trouble? I´ve found recently that one of the three Argentine servers makes my computer want to run at 57 fps where the other two almost always maintain 60 fps.

Thanks for the fun guys. Although, I feel bad seeing so many others having so much trouble.
