Season 19 Spec Race Challenge - Round 6 - Zandvoort “It's just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane,
Let's do the Time Warp again!”
OK – maybe a bit Over The Top on the introduction but the Spec Series “timewarps” from 1965 to the 1966 mod. (Interestingly, I can draw a number of parallels from the Rocky Horror show and my driving style – but enough of this frivlolity!)
1966 ~ England won the world cup ~ cinematic release of “The Good, the Bad & The Ugly” & after a flirtation wityh 2.0 litre Formula One upgraded to ridiculously powered 3.0 litre cars ~ so there is absolutely no reason not to be on the grid this Sunday.
The track is Zandvoort. We will run two races on the same track. Two chassis are available, you must use one in each race. Use the same car twice earns you a disqualification in the second race.
Your choice of chariot for this occasion is the 1966 Mod ~ Eagle T1G & the McLaren M2B (3.0 litre cars).
The Spec Series is a full championship with standard points scoring. In addition the moderator will also tally up every drivers fastest race lap & compare the chassis head to head. For your time to count in the “Spec Challenge” you must complete more than 50% distance in both races. Resets are allowed so don’t retire because of a bad start.
Also the Spec Series in the only GPL championship to be decided exclusively by driver skill, no handicapping applies.

Due to the number of races moderating will be light touch - reported incidents only, however the moderators reserve the right to review any incident with a particular emphasis on lap one. The aim is to review the race the following weekend so incident reports should be submitted within five days of the race (i.e. the following Friday).
