    Welcome to Round 2 Montjuich 1975

    The 1975 Spanish Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Montjuïc circuit on 27 April 1975. It was race 4 of 14 in both the 1975 World Championship of Drivers and the 1975 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers. It is one of the most controversial and tragic race weekends in the sport's history after the death of five spectators who were hit by the crashing Hill GH1 of Rolf Stommelen. It was also the race in which Lella Lombardi became the first and so far only woman to score points towards the World Championship and future world champion Alan Jones made his first start.

    On the server this AM for a handful of laps. Thank heavens that prior experience here in GPL stood me in good stead. M2B felt great! Cut a 37-odd.

    This car / track combo is absolutely perfect. Long, four-wheel drifts everywhere. And of course the mandatory (in 1966) liftoff!
    @Tim Muttram is going to be at home here!

    Yup, judging his cornering in the former series. He's the drift king in this mod :)

    he made it look easy, fast and fun.


    until i watched him glide by me, i thought the sliding approach was incorrect.....
    i was wrong, its fast(in Tims hands) and fun(in my hands)..

    Rob has been very busy configurating the server for rFactor 2 Nordschleife. I will ask him to set it up today.

    Thanks for sorting that - my god is this a fun track!
    My tire app says the McLarens' tires are good for around 2000 laps here - lets see how big a chunk I can take out in 45 mins :D

    It originates from the game Grand Prix Legends. It is an add-on track made by the community and it is still very populair as a converted track.

    I know, Doni and I have a good 10 years worth of practice here ;)
    It's just that GPL conversions are normally rubbish as a result of how the tracks are created in the game (I tried making a few back around 2003ish) - but someone has actually bothered spending some time on this version!

    I was mostly referring to the fact that on a fast lap all but 2 corners involve lots of opposite lock :D

    Found it. I just had to search 'Montjuich' instead of 'SRO'.

    Great fun, the track suits my style perfectly.
    With 15 minutes to go my wheel started to lose calibration, by the end it was nearly 90 degrees out from centralised. This made it very hard to control the car to the finish.

    Well done to the finishers and lapped drivers.

    Absolutely gutted the skins haven't been installed again, 2 days wasted just so the grid can look the same:(
