UKGPL Season 18 (2009) Amateurs Trophy (65) - Watkins Glen (GP) - Sep 8Welcome to the Grand Opener for UKGPL Season 18, the 10th anniversary year of UKGPL.
The opening race of the season will be held at Watkins Glen, USA which hosted a United States Grand Prix for twenty consecutive years. The race received the Grand Prix Drivers' Association award for the best organized and best staged GP of the season in 1965, 1970 and 1972 and unfortunately, like many other circuits, had to be altered to cope with faster cars in later years.
Please be careful on Lap 1 as you make your way through the Esses where things can get congested, and don't forget that lap 1 incidents attract an extra place penalty and can usually be avoided.
The Hay Bales at The Loop are only to eager to help out those who push their cold brakes a little too hard too early on and many a Pro race has ended there for the unwary.
I am sure that all of the seasoned Amateurs will welcome all of those brave souls daft enough to promote themselves from the Novices this time around. If you see a Novice out on track and he seems lost, please give assistance where possible. Thank you.
