SEASON 44  -  1967 F2    AMATEURS         Round 3  -  Killarney 1967

Not the Killarney in Ireland, nor the suburb of Johannesburg, but the one near Cape Town named afer a nearby hotel. It first saw F1 cars racing in 1960, when a mixed field was beaten by the two F1 Porsche 718s driven by Stirling Moss and Jo Bonnier. In 1962, Killarney held a non championship F1 race called the Cape Grand Prix. After swapping the lead many times, Trevor Taylor beat Jim Clark over the line in their Lotus 21s. Strong winds blew sand onto the track and several engines were damaged. F1 racing never returned, but the track is still in use today.This track was recreated for GPL by UKGPL's own Francesco Molteni.

Please restrict your chat until all drivers are off the track during both practice AND the race, thank you. Only reported incidents will be moderated.

INT damage model for this series so Shift-R is available. Please take extra care when re-joining the track.

Francesco - Thanks for a FANTASTIC F2 track. We had a blast in the PRO race. Go on, build another one  

Thank you Pete .I have already done the 2 version of Pukekohe and Surfer Paradise.I was started with Surfer than other people was part of the project...the result seem good.

Thank you but is a real track not fruit of my imagination.

First, as others have mentioned, this is just one great track, especially for F2 cars. I don't think I've ever had so much fun and peace in the hours I spent on- and off-line practicing for this event. I feel like a ping pong ball floating down a river when things are going well. You did a magnificent job here, Francesco, and I'd look forward to taking laps at any track you might construct. Might I suggest that your next project be to modify the original Nurburgring track and make it two miles long?

I had a PB in qualifying which was completely undone by my later entering the track directly in front of Dave, almost an exact repeat of what I did to Billy two days ago. I apologize once again, but this time I mean it.

After taking fourth on the grid and somehow moving up to third because of some problem in front of me, I thought I had a decent chance at a podium finish. But two mistakes, one small and one big, knocked me into sixth and I never really did recover from that. On the last lap I managed to slip past Franceso when he was being lapped by Matt, but I'm never too ashamed to take advantage of another driver's misunderstanding. On GPL Weekly's race rating, I'd give the track 6/6 and my performance 1/6.

Was a super track for these cars  The gravel? kerbs were a masochists dream 
I manages pole as Dave was hauling a petrol tanker round with him, made a decent enough start
and then it was Rouen deva vu all over again, Dave a bit quicker in some places, but I was holding on
untill I made a couple of errors, and he got past 

After that, was trying too hard, went off a couple of times, then tangled wheels with Cubby while trying to lap him
so waited, and let him get in front again, only for him to throw it off at the next corner 

Poddled round alone for the rest of the laps, managed fastest lap which was a small consolation prize
Codding good race. Thanks to  Francesco 

Pukekohe is one of my all time fave tracks, so would really like to play on that one

At the moment i have no track project in mind.I'm more involved in the car livery of the new mod.IMO my best realization in this field was the cars for the canam66,than the Vanwall,Connaught and the 2 Mercedes for the 55,some car for the canam 71 and the Lotus 41b for F2 that was my first work.
The canam 66 was modified by TVO applying an unnatural reflex on the flank that,in  my opinion,is bad on the dark Lola 305.
Now i'm involved in the new GT71(mainly Porsche) and F1 1970.
I have also prepared almost all cars for the GT 1959,mod that i hope to see released one day.

You should have just kept going, appreciate the intention/sportsmanship but you were after all a lap ahead.
I had another shocker really, missed the tangles ahead on Lap1 only to get rear-ended at T2, suspension was wonky after that & the rear-end twitchy.
Hope my luck begins to change at Hockenheim!
