UKGPL Season 14 Race of Champions - Zandvoort (1967) - Mar 2

[Steven Foster]

Any volunteers for wildcard places?

I'll be a standby if you need a driver Phil.

[Phil Thornton]

Thanks Steven, you're in as a wildcard  .  Hristo has emailed me, he intends to race 

[Clive Loynes]

.........................................and moved Clive out to a wildcard slot since he is doubtful for the race.  ....................

Thanks Phil.

Will get there if I can.

Amir can't make it so his place is taken by Steven Foster.

Do I do the D2 or D1 pit-stops Phil?

[Burtoner]

Good point Steve, you was Div1 but if you taking over Amir do you take div2 pitstops?

Either way i take Clubmans pitstops which is even better

As you were a Div 1 driver you must take the Div 1 pit stop times.  I know it is a bit harsh because you are not as fast as some of the other Div 1 drivers but it is a team race.  Hopefully I've made a good enough job of the team selection and you'll be able to score valuable points for your team 

[Phil Thornton]

Looks like we'll be a driver short for tonight's ROC.  Anybody fancy a drive?  If so post a reply here 

[Phil Thornton]

John Bradbury can't make it so put Clive Loynes in the Red team.  Clive will try and race but his attendance is not guaranteed.  Could do with a wildcard as backup if anybody is interested!

[Steven Foster]

Good race, right up until I drove into Derek Howe, and quit in self-disgust. Very sorry Derek - that was awful driving.

 

[Syd Drake]

I had an awful race, with 3 resets. Only finished out of obligation to the team.

No problem Steve - it didn't worry me, you needn't have quit. I was pitting, and lifted a bit early (because I'm not used to pitting with the BRM) which probably caught you out.

[Kruger Enge]

I know Ken hates me but there was nothing I could do at T1 Being aware of the warp, I was being conservative into T1 and I was sticking to the appex knowing that if I accelerated, I'd probably take out Ken on my side, or Lorenzo and Hristo ahead.

Unfortunatelly, Brendan tripped up on my warp and set of the chain reaction - not Brendan's fault by all means. Ken was merely a co-lateral damage. I'm sorry Ken if you retired just because of that. I was thinking to do the same but instead, went on and had a really fun race, doing two stops early and finding my self back to fifth. I had some great battles on the way there though...

[Burtoner]

Great race guys im suprised i finished 6th let along the race, my best pro race ever this, Great battles halfway through the race with guys same speed as me ie Ian,Steve,Phil. My only complaint of race has to be Kruger and his warpy car all race!. 35 laps jezz, how in earth did i finish race and come 6th is really beyond me lol. Hopefully this is a good sign that i can do well in Cooper this season, and have again upped my stakes to do well with the best. 0 reset, 0 engine blows, and 35 laps of daunting racing.
