I trust that there is complete agreement that the pit lane, well marked with a solid line, is NOT to be used as a passing lane, especially when the green flag drops.

For the gpl rookies I looked in my archive for some of the old school setups that are lost in the track database.

These setups were gold for me as they give the gears and balance the best driver used,
Masaki Asano used Greger Huttus setups and made them less agressive

oups
I copied the 65 setups too, so be carefull wich to use - not ma65!

Header failure on lap 6, such a shame  Maybe I should've picked a different car instead of he BRM.

I was enjoying the event, despite not having the pace I wanted. Looking forward for the new season.

2 laps to go and get kicked out !

Shame about the breakdowns Fran and DT..

so sorry you had problems Bernie.  I was doing my best to chase you and it was great fun, but I think the tyres got a bit hot and I touched the grass on one occasion and had a spin too. you were going really well mate.

I thought the lotus was might have been fast enough, but no chance to catch the Eagles.

anyway did a 2.02 which wasnt bad.  looked back on GPL rank and 20 odd years back was doing 1:58s in the Lotus... LOL.  even managed a 1:59 at Rouen in the Cooper.

congrats Eric, and the rest of Pods n finishers. the 67s were a decent season for me. should have done more races.  

heres to next season.

Another fun but incomplete race for me....

Qualed 4th with race fuel ( I still don't know whether to trust the gallons/laps indicator, so I put 30 laps worth in... where's XD when you need it)
I got a better run out of courbe de l'etoile and passed Eric B before Gresil, and was maintaining 5 secs~ to Pepe H up front for a couple of laps
I assumed he was sandbagging, and would put some speed on and dissapear up the road, but the gap came down to 4 secs, and then he went grasstracking
out of T1 and then parked it? didn't look to have hit anything hard, steering perhaps. I was thinking maybe I could win this (I didn't know pepe had parked it then)
I was pulling away from Eric slowly when I went into Samson too fast and spun, (excuse 265=I was using a looser/faster setup than I had been) and lost the back end
recovered up the grass banking without getting in anyone's way, and chased after Eric who had just sailed past, caught at Paradis and went left to pass, but
lost the motor, probaby same reason as before - I couldn't hear my engine over his, also spinning the car back the right way in Samson did some over revving
which probaby didn't help

Ah well, I will finish one soon...

Cautious start expecting a pile up at the hairpin then some great racing with Paul V & Hallu who swapped places a few times , had a spell in P4 (mostly down to others misfortunes ) then around Lap 8 something in my wheel went bang  ! the FF had F'd itself just as I was entering the downhill right after the pits , this led to a wall of death ride on the grass bank allowing my protagonists to go by . Settled down to the race again after adjusting for the "new" wheel settings . I think I was P5 when the track decided I was doing to well and discoe'd me .

Love this track , it always seems to give great racing .

Thanks to all for the fun & games .
