Some of you will doubtless be aware that Season 16's setup is slightly different.
We now have Div 1, and Clubmans running on alternate Sundays, with the new Historic 66's on Tuesdays alternating with the 65 Novice and Amateurs.
To replace the Masters series we now have a series of Inter League Challenge races, where we at UKGPL take on teams from a wide spectrum of enthusiasts and aliens from other GPL leagues.
Dave (Jack O'Farrell etc etc) has set up a fixture list which is shown below.
The first of these matches is scheduled for next Sunday against Trellnet and we need a team of 9 drivers to represent UKGPL.
So can we have volunteers placing their names here please and chassis preferences ( although I cannot guarantee to satisfy everybody's wishes in that regard
)
InterLeague Series
The Interleague series will replace the Masters series on Sunday night for the fastest UKGPL drivers. While our drivers will still be able to compete against each other in Division 1, it seemed better to also seek fresh challenges for this season. Each race will require us to field a nine-car team against nine drivers from another league, a total of eighteen cars on track. Whether using the original carset or the 66 mod, each team will also be required to field a representative set of chassis- these are the suggested teams:
67s
one Lotus
one Eagle
one Ferrari
one Brabham
one Honda
two Coopers
two BRMs
66s
two Brabhams, one BT19 and one of the BT11 versions
one BRM, driver to choose between P261 and P83
one Cooper
one Eagle, driver to choose between T1F and T1G
one Ferrari, driver to choose between 246 and 312
one Honda
one Lotus, driver to choose between 43 and either of the 33 versions
one McLaren
Further rules will be agreed on a race-by-race basis, but the points for places rules that we used against GBGPL will be a guide.
Once a team captain has been appointed for a race he will select the team and chassis, on the basis that we will field the fastest team that we are able to for all the races- while against GBGPL we had to compromise slightly as it was organised so quickly, all these races have been agreed some time in advance.
These races have been agreed so far:
