I'll probably have to miss this one. Will and I are cycling 100 miles  for charity on Sunday so I'll most likely be asleep by the time qualifying starts. Have a great start to the season.

I made it after all - legs a bit stiff but OK for GPL

Happy to finish P9 in the Honda but benefited from the demise of quicker drivers early on. I had to drive hard to keep Phil behind me in his BRM and I thought I'd sneaked into 8th with Alain spinning off but he got me at the Parabolica on the final lap. Bravo! Great move.

Great season-opener for me.

Frustrating... engine let go with 6/7 laps to go...

At the start RBald(?) didn't get going. I got eh warning from the guy in front of me and  I steered around him but RBald turned in to me (acceleration wiggle?) as I passed and caused chaos for some, esp. Baab. Soon after there was a pile up at Lesmo 1 where there was some very polite waiting and I got 3/4 laps clos-ish racing before I found myself with a gap to Fulvio that he couldn't pull in and me watching Doni disappear away from me. I settled down to just being consistent, which I largely was, just one wee wobble. Tyres and engine temp were well within norms, so disappointed the engine broke when I had a safe 6th..hey ho.

Not sure I 'll be here for the next one, but I may have some paperwork to file if anyone complains about the S/F pile up...

I didn't think I'd be competitive here so I decided to save some tokens and take the BRM. I was right, I wasn't competitive but I managed to drive within myself and didn't make any big mistakes so I grabbed some decent points. I tried to hang onto Pete but he was too quick (glad to see you made the race and your legs were not too stiff after your long cycle ride mate, well done for your charity) but I was close enough so that he couldn't afford to make any mistakes.

Grats to Tris but I was pleased to see my team mate Cookie bag second place and some good points for Antipasti. But I think we'll struggle to beat the "French Works" team (Equipe BGB) they have a formidable line-up  

You right Jonny ....see the start of the MOTO GP of CATALUNYA last sunday !

A fairly handy result considering.  No dramas whatsoever save for the first lap getting off the grid and down in Lesmo1.  Bobbie_B started directly ahead of me in his BRM having put down a fine effort in qualifying but somehow, he missed the drop of the green.  I pulled right and surged by without issues and ran gingerly down to the Curva Grande.  There, I expected trouble but thankfully, everyone got through OK despite some pushing and shoving.  I arrived at Lesmo1 with a Ferrari...Fulvio's...close behind and when it jigged to the right on approach and out of my mirror FOV, I thought, 'Oh, please, no.  This never works.'  I took a quick peek with my 'Look Right' button and saw that Fulvio was off in the grass and in some difficulty.  I could see that as the road started to curve to the right that Fulvio was going to shoot straight over the curb and directly into my flank.  I made sure to slow considerably and keep far left in hopes of avoiding a collision.  Somewhat surprisingly, this worked out as Fulvio did, indeed, appear and shot straight over to the far side of the roadway.  I saw a gap open up behind him and made for it only to see his Ferrari start to loop to the right directly in front of me.  I slowed again in hopes of missing the red car but only just clipped its tail.  Luckily, my Brabham remained straight and true to the roadway and I was able to pull away.  Sadly, many trailing me had grief including Jonny O'.  This incident left me some seconds down on the group ahead and I had no chance to catch the slipstream.  I did, at least, have a decent cushion to my pursuers and gradually edged away settling into p07.  Lap15 and developments as Maurice & Syd collide at the Curva Grande with Syd a DNF and Maurice seriously delayed.  Up to p05 now and that's how the race fleshed out.

We had three Lotus 49's and four Eagle T1G's take the green here.  Come Casablanca, I think we can expect to see a lot of BRM's and Hondas in the pack.  

TY for hosting.  Good to be back for S43.

We are back at Monza for the last round of the 1955 championship. I'll set the grid for a 20m stagger and see how we get on. The tow in the 55s is quite strong so the extra distance shouldn't stop drivers from getting a tow and stretching the pack out too much.

As Cookie has intimated this shouldn't be necessary but GPL is a bit unforgiving when drivers bang wheels. The Hamilton/Piastri incident would have been catastrophic in GPL.
