Benchmark for Monza is 1m30 , if you can get below that you will be doing fine

It's Monza Yeah Yeah Yeah...like a old Beatles song, It is heard/run so much, but still fun 
I'm really looking forward to this race & as several others, it was on this course I learned to drive GPL. Year was 2000, but knew nothing about GPL was run Online & trained therefore with Lotus at Monza in Pro. An incredibly hard way to learn GPL, a touch of curbs could be enough to steering was wrong & I bought myself poor in new engines. Later I tried Nurburgring, but never reached further than to the bridge...bang 
Jarama was not my favorite, but I got beaten up a lot of rust on this track, so right now I'm glad we have just run it.
Got tested a 30 laps race (ours is 33) but think I already have a setup ready 

Which car won at Monza in 1967 ?

It would be a miracle if the same car wins in our race.

I've had a lot going here at home for the past few weeks and had to miss some races.  But Monza!  It has always been high on my list of great historic tracks and since my visit there this past fall it's even more special.  I won't miss this one.

Grand finale and what a time I pick to get a bad dose of the lurgy (manflue)

Off to bed with a bottle , hoping to sweat it out  :'(

[BadBlood]

Get a pie down you Bernie and we'll see you Sunday. Get well soon.

Don't want to kick a man when hes down but I'm lapping at sub 1.26 pace on full tanks in the BRM in practice and thats with a blindfold and one hand tied behind my back. Then again maybe not! Like Paul says, get well soon and get a heater or two for that loft.

[BadBlood]

Well thanks for that Ronnie - I was feeling pretty good about my sub 1:34 with fumes in the tank and screaming tyres!

Pffft 

I can do those times in the Coop with both hands tied behind me back and calling in the pits each lap for a pie break 

[Ronniepeterson]

Did I not mention I was towing the Coop with the BRM! 

[BadBlood]

Towing is not allowed - you are both disqualified

Hi guys,

We've got a little problem, it seems like I'm not able to make it! We are currently celebrating a regional tradition, which also involves drinking a beer or two . We'll see how it goes but I'm going to have to drink soda all day if I have a chance of making it. In the event I do not, Hristo has to get a 5th place or higher to win the championship. In any case I wish you all the best of luck, and hopefully I'll be able to challenge you in a few hours .

Tommie.
