UKGPL Season 19 (2010) Historic Trophy (66) - Zeltweg (Österreichring) - Apr 13

[Statmeister]

Dave Randall's win at Zeltweg adds to the Lotus 43's victory tally as the most successful chassis in Historics.
Out of the 42 Historic races held so far at UKGPL the most successful chassis are:

1. Lotus 43 (3L) - 10 wins
2. Mclaren M2B (3L) - 6 wins
=3. Ferrari 246 (2L) - 4 wins
=3. Lotus 33 Climax (2L) - 4 wins
=5. Brabham BT11 2.7 (2L) - 3 wins
=5. Honda RA273 (3L) - 3 wins

The handicap system used in Historics means all the other chassis have managed at least one win with the notable exception of the BRM P83 (3L) & Eagle T1G (3L) which still haven't scored any victories.

Here's the updated Stats table after round 2:



Remember: two worst scores will be dropped

I WILL get that 3 litre Eagle on to the stats one day!

Funny, I was thinking I should do that as well. Maybe next race.   But I hate its handling...

[EvilClive]

Actually I find the handling quite good..well good for me 

I will send you the setup that I used at Zeltweg and you can show me how to get it into the 1:45's??...just to make me feel good

Thanks, but I don't think the Eagle is much faster (if at all) than the McLaren. And the fact that you took pole shows you were going just about on the limit already, so anything better sounds unrealistic.

What I dislike about the car is its significant understeer in mid-corner. Either that or I'm not setting it up correctly...

I'd say handicapping system is pretty good if 12 of 14 chassis have won races.

Yes, after all it's a system derived from what was used in Masters before and that worked very well season after season. I wish the Amateurs would adopt a similar balanced handicap system.

Just in case anyone is interested - here's the full chassis wins table:

It's surprising to see that the Ferrari 312 & the Brabham BT19 have only 1 win each as well

That's because only the crap drivers are allowed to drive the 312
