Round 7 - Grosser Preis von Deutschland [Oct 5th]

1.5 litre engines. Designed to reduce power, Went back up to 3.0 litre in 1966.

Richard i mean modern cars are no where near this awesome car in terms of power, and it only had a 1.5 litre! Makes me proud to own a honda with my little 1.6 litre. Im getting a 2.4 litre k24 motor for my little civic at the end of the year  Im gona attach some wings to see if i get any lift off

Sorry I thought you meant the 65 cars compared to that old Mercedes in the video

Trees are mostly friendly here. Road signs? Made of admantium and my car is allergic to them.

@Lan: you did not pre-qualify with the right car, but as no one else tried to, you can race with the Reg Parnell's Lotus 25 #15 tomorrow.

Is there anyway of doing just the short loop before we start our timed lap? Or do we have to do the full lap?

Try, if it works use it, if it doesn't work, don't use it

Real drivers make a full warm up lap anyway

As JP said, you can always try it, but I don't think it will work. (and beware of any DQ)

Tried it = DQ

I only asked because i got up to the mini carousel and then it ticked over to the next session

Guess its a full lap then!

Have fun

hello boys,
have a good fun this evening!!!

yes i am ready Richard  

i think you could be quicker in race
we will see
i think it will be a hard race for the engines


I tried to do the best again

Time for a nice Sunday drive that hopefully lasts 14 laps (assuming Austin blows by at mach 2 once).

Sorry about the contact at the beginning Pascal, The kerb spun me and you were the unlucky one to hit me. After that my suspension was a bit "Bent" so with the steering wheel pointing to the left i soldiered on.

For 3 laps and then after a sideways moment, i was aiming for one of the "Tell you what corner your at" Signs, Assuming it would be able to drive through Like all the trees and bushes, But

It was as hard as a ton weight. So off my wheels go in all directions

was fun up until then, Shame to miss it all.

Well done to all finishers, I will buy you a stiff drink if i ever see you in person

Thanks again to HSO for organising and see you all at the next one

Damaged my car on lap 7. Last 7 laps were scary with car not turning right well and spinning on hard acceleration. On my 2nd to last lap I noticed I was catching Mick so I cranked up my speed to as much as I dared. Seems Mick caught something painful before I caught him.

Lots of attrition allowed for an 8th which was a surprise.

Nice track but no thanks for a while here!!

Results and standings updated on the website. Von Trips Trophy also updated (   ).

The server with Monza will be up on sunday October 19th

WOW, one hell of a race! This track is amazing i love it! Great job guys this track is overwhelming some times. Had a great car, i got some early practice all day sat to dial her in she came in good in the later laps. I hit the wall on lap 5, of course you guys know me i gotta hit the wall at least once lol, but luckily i didnt damage my car. Well i guess its off to monza, gonna be tough to keep up with the Ferraris with the big v12, time to hook up the nitrous.

Thanx HSO for yet another great one.

thank you sir!

WOOHOO! 6th place and one big boy point!  (4th in class, 3 VT points)  Almost exactly what I was aiming for!

Had my customary slow start, but managed to fight back once the field cleared the south loop. Can't tell you what a relief it was to complete lap 1 with zero contact.  By lap 3, Richard had caught me (he had an off on lap 1) and we had a really fun dice for a bit. Then I slid off in sector three, and he was gone. Was sorry to see he crashed out a few laps later  Held my own against Vincent for a bit, but his straightline speed and overall better driving got me in the end.  As attrition mounted, I found myself in 6th and seeing as I wasn't going to catch Vincent and I had a long gap back to 7th place, I slowed down a bit and tried to baby the car home. To my surprise, I was only 10 seconds behind Vincent at the finish.  Had I known he was slowing up, I may have put on a late charge, but by then, I had put away the "seconds back" display and was just trying to make it home in one piece. Oh well.  

Thank you HSO for another great event!
