SEASON 44 - 1967 F2 AMATEURS Round 4 - Bulawayo 71The Breedon Everard Raceway is Zimbabwe's most famous racing circuit, set in a natural depression on the edge of the city of Bulawayo. Fast and with wide run-off areas, it became a popular stop for competitors on the Springbok Series, frequented by European cars and drivers, helping to establish its international reputation.The 3 Hours of Bulawayo drew some notable names in its heyday but, inevitably, Zimbabwe's political situation meant international attention was fairly short lived. Happily, the circuit continues to operate successfully at national level under the auspices of the Bulawayo Motoring Club.

Had a fun drive tonight.. must not even touch the dirt here. As i found out more than once !!!!
Sorry to Matt or Cubby during early laps. I had spin and was in the middle of the road. i was going to get going again but saw you coming so didnt know where
to go backwards or forwards.. i looked right and saw you.. hoped you might have missed me but we clipped each other. Sorry.
otherwise, proves GPL is great even when not running anywhere near the front.
cheers for organising..

Congrats on a fine win Rog! For the first 20 laps, I don't think you were more than about 150 behind. I had a couple of minor scruffy moments which probably brought your overtake forward, but you were closing anyway & would have got me. I guess I've been kicked off from the server... Yes, looks as though it was just you - but not without a struggle: 4m54.830s Fabio F2FPS Locarno gets disconnected while racing in position 8.
4m56.830s The disconnected Fabio F2FPS Locarno resurrects, didn't disco after all.
5m20.830s Fabio F2FPS Locarno overtakes the stationary paul villiersF2 for position 7.
5m26.830s Matt RoweF2 overtakes the stationary Fabio F2FPS Locarno for position 8.
5m26.830s paul villiersF2 overtakes the stationary Fabio F2FPS Locarno for position 7.
5m31.830s Cubbie Roo overtakes the stationary Fabio F2FPS Locarno for position 9.
5m36.830s Fabio F2FPS Locarno gets disconnected while racing in position 10.
5m37.830s The disconnected Fabio F2FPS Locarno resurrects, didn't disco after all.
5m44.830s Fabio F2FPS Locarno gets disconnected while racing in position 10.
5m48.830s The disconnected Fabio F2FPS Locarno resurrects, didn't disco after all.

Cheers all. Dave. |

Newby error at T2 on cold tyres put me at the back, then trying too hard, had some contact with people who had fallen off
then spun off countless times being off line, somewhere in Cape Town I think....

I thought I might have a tiny advantage here since we'd run this track a year ago in oAo. Just to make sure, I put in countless hours practicing every conceivable entry and exit point for the various corners and by race day I was feeling pretty comfortable. I qualified fourth behind Matt, Dave, and Roger --- all with 1:33s, which beat my PB by enough to teach me that a podium was unlikely for me today. But still hope springs eternal, and at this place, staying on the track is absolutely critical.
Naturally I went off the track with David pressing me hard on L4 and I never saw him again. Then began a battle with Fran that lasted the rest of the race. We did trade two unfortunate rear-enders, but since we were in the same car and never could shake each other, it could have been even worse. With maybe ten laps remaining, he had gotten a six-second lead after our second contact (and my second reset). I managed finally to bring some concentration to the game and began clawing back at him at the rate of about one second per lap. With two to go I finally managed to get close enough to him coming out of the last corner and a nice draft put me just inches ahead of him as we entered T1. Somehow I held on to finish fifth. It was far from a clean race for me, but at least it wasn't as bad as Hockenheim two days ago. I guess that's what passes for an acceptable standard for me these days: Was it better than Hockenheim? Yeah, but not much.

I'm laughing now, because I thought the first smack was my fault and the second one yours! At least we were even at the end.  |

Smiley I don't have the replay but i'm not so sure that the second was my fault.Rejoining the track you have gained my race line instead to stay on the right. Rather explain me your speed on the straight,my car was not so fast. |

Rather explain me your speed on the straight,my car was not so fast. As for the second contact between us on L18, when I regained the track (after going off in a failed attempt to overtake Eric), I was five seconds ahead of you, though at the time I didn't know whether you'd overtaken me or not while I was in the weeds. Getting myself smacked in the rear was probably more of a surprise to me than it was to you. As for my greater speed on the straight, I clearly had a better exit on L27 from the last corner than you did. When I followed you past the corner worker standing to the inside of the apex of T10, your speed was 79 mph and mine was 82. I was just two car lengths behind you, so I was going to catch a great draft. By the time we hit the S/F line, I was at 141 mph and you were just 133. |
