1987 Fuji 1000km [March 17th]

I had no idea of the banked Fuji til I researched the history for an Enduracers Le Mans round at CMS.

It truly does sound as if it was an awesome venue..

Sound like a great place for a future HSO open event

(Historics 12 hour enduro)

"Oppa NASCAR Samurai Style"?

Just look at how fast they were going already, and no crash there!

But if the Group C had been racing it, they'd have flown over the fence there

The old layout (in red on your map) with its banking is definately my favorite :



Actually I can't think of another true road course with such banking.

Montlehry and Avus both had audacious banking sections too. Of course, I suppose Avus might not count due to it's modern layout using the unbanked North End

What about Monza?

I have to apologize, I just found out I launched the wrong layout on the server, the version we are using has a chicane after the hairpin. Server in running on the right version now.

Oh Dear an extra chicane not what i was hoping for

Avus would qualify indeed, I wasn't counting Montlhéry or Monza because they use a real oval.

Avus....

The only thing I can think of when I am driving there or watching a race is Keith O'dors' crash

But it's a good track for racing

It does upset the flow of the track a bit. But you avoid a pretty big bump and the entrance to the last two corners is a bit less on the edge.

Let me practice my French pronouns here.
Is it "Je l'aime!" or "J'aime ce!" for "I like it!"

Having a banked turn on a road course was not so rare back in the days, although it was mostly a USA thing. A famous one was Meadowdale with its "Monza Wall". There was also the Roosevelt Raceway in Long Island which was built for the 1936 and 1937 Vanderbilt Cups. Riverside was another one.
It was also seen in the early XXth Century Grand Prix circuits, which were using public roads. The roads were usually highly tuned and prepared for the races, which included some reshaping of some turns including wooden planks to built an artificial banking .

Just in case our newcomers would be interested, we have a race with those cars on Sunday, at the Norisring. and there are some free cars : http://historicsimracing.123.st/t1986-round-2-norisring-feb-10th#78523

Hehe looks like the Lancia team will give some headache to some Porsche drivers

I dont know who are "Tysmyster" and "Forsythe" but nicknames are not allowed on our servers so please switch to your real name.

Tisk, tisk, SimJunkies!

I really want to do this event. I have a few teammates in mind that I can try to persuade to join me. What are the chances of any of the reserved cars becoming free?

I hope to make register an entry within a weeks time. If i cant do that I will ask around for a drive. This should be one of the highlights of my simracing year

Hi Richard Why would you want cars becoming free, there are still plenty to chose from

I will be happy to drive whatever car I can get, at the moment probably a Porsche. I would like to grab a car with more horsepower at some point if someone drops out. Also I love the Jaguars.

A couple pics...

Nice

Thanks, teammate!

Thought the thread could use some eye candy....

Il n'y aurait pas un problème de reflet sur le pare-brise de la Porsche 18, par rapport à la 1 et la 19?

Ben, tu dois être trop fort au jeu des 7 erreurs

If some of you want some real practice with this mod, we have a league race at Hockenheim this weekend, with a few free cars : http://historicsimracing.123.st/t2024p25-round-3-hockenheim-feb-24th
