Season 19 Spec Race Challenge - Round 9 - Hockenheim 67 Spec Racing is back for another blast in the 1965 cars. Whilst the Germans seem to have a preference for creating long twisty tracks like Nurburg, Hockenheim has long fast straights & a slower stadium section. This is the 1967 BC version (BC = before chicanes). If you have not tried it before it won’t take too long to learn & we are using cars that go fast in a straight line. Sorry to have to miss this one due to holidays. I’ve passed on the green starters flag on to Vos.
The 1967 track (no 14) is available here
http://gpltd.bcsims.com/?dis=H&menu=Show_LettersWe 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 1965 Mod ~ BRM & the Honda.
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).
