Racing this Thursday (14th July)

Post by gordon »

Hi Guys,

FRC will be open for practice, testing and racing from 7:30 PM this Thursday (14th July) for our Group D classes, Modified Production - 3 races @ 30 laps, F1 - 5 races @ 30 laps. We'll also do an IROC series if we have a few newcomers who are interested.

Remember that we try to start our events no later than 8:30PM sharp. Here's the usual schedule:
  • Free practice and testing up to 8:30 PM
  • 8:30 PM - Technical Inspection (excluding IROC classes).
  • Qualifying followed by racing. Drivers not ready when called to grid will be replaced by any standby drivers who are ready.
  • Post-race Technical Inspection (if required)
  • After racing - Packing up and liming/old talk (but not too late!).
You can see the 2016 class regulations here and the general racing regulations here.

Don't forget to bring along some refreshments.

All because I am a grand fan of F. Alonso and remembered watching a F1 race (not sure when) on television with such a beautiful & natural landscape ...

Memorized it ~ as the Grand Prix of Austria.
  • 1. Tried to see if a McLaren Honda was racing with this bunch of cars and seeing one (not sure if it's number 14 or 22) running up on the inside line :D

    2. Also guessing this track above is the same Austrian circuit I observed (the time) on television and yet, I may still stand corrected :?:
These were two points - I thought about (straight away) with this scenic, cool looking and action packed F1 racing track/pic ...

A view from Fernando Alonso's (on board) camera at this bright looking Austrian F1 Grand Prix circuit in 2014 ...
Mind you, the vid doesn't show the true blue brightness (it's a bit hazy) with the surroundings ~ other than the flawlessly racing line being used in Q2 on an overall neat and very fast (300+ km) looking racing circuit ..!
