rF2 S397 GT3 @ Buenos Aires #8 - Fri 04 Feb 2022 *Buenos Aires Trophy Rd 1/5*

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Starting of the Buenos Aires Trophy is a race with the GT3 cars. The Autodromo Buenos Aires or Autódromo Oscar y Juan Gálvez as it's actually named is most known for hosting F1 in the 50's, 70's and mid 90's. It's a track located in the middle of Buenos Aires, and the track still has 12 different official layouts. Some quite similar, but also some that widely differs from each other. That's something we'll notice. This Friday's event will go on the 3.3km Circuito No.8

Buenos Aires Trophy!
​

I know, I know. It sounds boring initially... Same track 4 weeks in a row. In fact, this track have got so vastly different layouts that it will not feel like the same track being used. That combined with us not using the same class of cars week in and week out will make the races feel different from each other. Trust me! There is also no danger for this being a trend in the future, with a single track - multiple layouts for a month But this will be great fun!
As usual in case of multi-class events, points will be adjusted manually and points will be given for class position.
A different point system in place for this month:

Race 1-3

1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th	7th	8th	9th	10th
100	84	72	58	50	44	38	32	28	24
11th	12th	13th	14th	15th	16th	17th	18th	19th	20th->
20	18	16	14	12	10	8	6	4	2

Race 4-5 *Double Header - Sprint Races*

1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th	7th	8th	9th	10th
50	42	36	29	25	22	19	16	14	12
11th	12th	13th	14th	15th	16th	17th	18th	19th	20th->
10	9	8	7	6	5	4	3	2	1

Race results, standings, stats can be found here after the races (not online until Race 1)

The races will be run as usual club races, so no sign-ups, no need to use the same cars for multiple events and so on!

Yes, please

 

[Herlev]

In please

Ooh, interesting concept of the same track just different layouts. Are there plans to use different cars too? Like on the super-long layout doing a multiclass Endurance pack? Perhaps you could ask everyone to make sure they also use a different cat each round too if we're doing multiple GT3 rounds. Could spice it up. If you're doing two Endurance races, ask people to be LMP for one round and GTE for the other? Could be interesting.

The "drive one class here, then other class next" is something we did in the Richard Burns Rally Club a decade ago. Not 100% sure it would work as well here. Who knows.

There are plans for some different cars as well. The idea is to use one of the GT-layouts this week (as is obvious to see). The other layouts will be the IMSA (also known as the historic), so that gives a hint towards cars, we will also use one of the more modern, later made layouts, and lastly one of the touring-layouts - which obviously will not be done with multiclass, or F1 as that will be the double header

This will give us layouts that are 2km,3km,4m and 5km long and except for the first (and possibly last corner), I don't think we will drive the same corners more than twice at max over the 4 layouts! So I think it will feel quite different from week to week

 

[Jan Larsen]

Are we going around the lake at some point? Thinking IMSA cars on the historic long layout...

That's the problem when you read as fast as you drive Jan ;P Slow down a bit, especially on the track

EDIT: "IMSA Cars", that can mean a lot of different things. Modern ones? 80's? 90's? etc.

 

[Jan Larsen]

I really should learn to read AND actually understand, not just skimp it over

Whatever IMSA you choose, just make sure it has the most amount of power, thats all I care about

 

[Jimlaad43]

IMSA used Group C at one point I hope

I feel the "IMSA" layout is misleading. I've spent too much time this afternoon researching, and IMSA never raced at the track. The WSC did in 1971 and 1972.
I need to do some testing with cars and see what I can come up with. It won't be 2022 cars though

Awww, not go slower? Haha!

It has to have power to not make us fall asleep on the lake-loop. Do that with a Mini Cooper and you'll have time to solve crosswords before you are done with the loop!

@Ole Marius Myrvold do you know when the server will go online? I can't find it at the moment.
