H & TCL League Round 5 - Salzburgring 2009 (August 3rd)

We are swapping Historix with TCL this round due to the DQ errors last Round


Salzburgring 2009
The race track was first opened in 1968. Lying in a narrow, alpine valley, it has a rather simple layout, with two long straights plus the sweeping and fast "Fahrerlagerkurve" ("paddock turn") at the bottom, and the narrow "Nockstein-Kehre" on the top. In spite of its simple layout, it garnered a fearsome reputation for the high speeds reached on the straights and the "Fahrerlagerkurve". Michael Doohan describes the section between 7 and 10 as his all time favorite piece of racetrack, likening it to "threading a motorcycle through the eye of a needle at 180mph whilst banging fairings with your competitors with armco barriers on each side". He continues "Sure it was fast and dangerous, but also enormous fun. To me it's what motorcycle racing is all about".
The Salzburgring track hosts touring car races like the German ADAC Procar Series, Deutsche Produktionswagen Meisterschaft, Deutsche Tourenwagen Challenge and Super Tourenwagen Cup. It was also the home of the Austrian motorcycle Grand Prix from 1971 to 1994, except for the 1980 and 1992 seasons. Giacomo Agostini and Angel Nieto are the all-time leaders in motorcycle Grand Prix victories at the circuit, with six wins apiece. Sidecar motorcycle races were also held at the venue. The track has also hosted the Oldtimer Grand Prix as well as during the last years a "Rupert Hollaus Memorial" organized by Ex-Grand Prix motorcycle and sidecar racer, Wolfgang Stropek. In 2008, the circuit played host to the then one-off European Touring Car Cup, with the event being won by Michel Nykjaer.

Hi guys,

Do you have a download link for the Salzburgring 2009 version??

Cheers, CD.

Great turn out once again   

Managed to put it on pole, but not by much as the times were pretty close here   

Race 1, had a great battle with Matt.C, Chrisrx & GroupC not far behind.
The lead swapped a few times, but I managed to steal the lead at the end to finish 1st.

Race 2, bogged it down & got a shocking start, managed to get the spots back & had a 5 or 6 second lead.
Then my engine started smoking down the back straight   
Was thinking my engine could blow, so I started to back it off a little & tried to manage the gap between me  & Billybob.
Billybob was putting in some great laps at this point, I made a couple of mistakes & then he was right on me and managed to get past when I threw it off the track again lol, I think we swapped places a couple of time.
Put my head down, didn't worry about the smoking anymore & managed to get the lead back to finish 1st again.

Looking forward to the HistoricGT's here, but I think the Dino wont be as fast on this version.

race 1 was epic with the 4 of us going nuts for the lead with plenty of room left for each other.

race 2 was an epic duel with me and mozza. Berlsy must have been laughing the whole race as i'd overtake along the straights and then mozza would get me back in the last sector and it'd happen lap after lap. i was trying everything to get the sierra infront over the start finish but ended up binning it on the last lap as my front left tyre couldnt take it anymore.

I was looking forward to this, I even practiced and had a set-up!

But it was Mum's birthday, so we took her out to dinner. Booked a table for 6pm and figured I'll make it for Race 2 at least, but didn't get home until 9pm.

Priorities mate. I'm a no show for this Sunday and the following Sunday, two race meetings in two weekends.
