C#-Car Number
SP-Starting Position for next race
Congrats to Steve Habenicht, and to Erik Karlsson, the only second
time winner this season. Special Congrats to Geoff Bodine winning yesterday.
With 4 new drivers this week, this is the biggest field ever for a LF3000
race. The new drivers are Dave and Simon Gymer of the UK driving the Team
Shark-Porsches, Paul Hamilton in the #17 Scuderia Prancing Horse-Ferrari, and
O. Santos in the GoLamy-Renault.
For those who were waiting for the .GPE files for LF3000, I have bad
news.With the influx of new drivers, there are just too many Pro teams to
fit them all in. Also, GPEditor is being really annoying about the .GPE
files, and I really haven't had time to get them finished. I apologize to
everyone who has already sent their files in.
Results for Japan are due Oct. 9. Good Luck!

Fast Lap Formula-Each driver is ranked by their fast lap, the fastest
being 1st. Then the driver's position is subtracted from 16 (ie. 5th would
be 16-5=11). The result for each driver is added up at each track.
Qualifying counts 1:1, while Race counts 2:1. Each driver's season total
then is divided by .576, then divided again by 10, then multiplied by 8.4,
then divided by 10. Drivers who run the fastest lap at each track receives a
10 point bonus. The maximium number of points is 1000.

Facts:
Track Length: 3.641 miles

Race Descriptions
Novice:
This track is tough and demanding. Clean passes are few and far apart.
You
need to get up front at the start or you'll be stuck behind slower cars. If
and when you have clear track ahead, be clean and follow the Ideal line.
When in traffic, be patient and wait for a good opportunity to pass. Tyres
begin to fade as the race goes on, so you can start on B's or C's.
Lap Records:
Qualifying: 1m41.240s Habenicht (24.7.1994)
Race: 1m44.488s Wilson (24.7.1994)
Previous Winners:
1994 LF1: Wilson 1h39m44.043s (24.7.1994) (100%)
1993-4 LF2: Wilson 23m15.711s (22.12.1993) (25%)
1993 LF2: Wilson 23m40.167s (15.9.1993) (25%)
1993 LF1: Wilson 1h40m21.006s (1.8.1993) (100%)
Pro:
This is a very tough track, being aggressive here can give you a broken
wing. Be patient while passing, adn stay off the curbing. Tyres may fade in
the late laps, thus B's or C's are available.
Lap Records:
Qualifying: 1m32.254s Taylor (29.7.1993)
Race: 1m35.506s Van Hook (1.8.1993)
Previous Winners:
1994 LF1: Chiu 1h31m03.875s (24.7.1994) (100%)
1993-4 LF2: Van Hook 21m44.192s (22.12.1993) (25%)
1993 LF2: Anderson 21m40.495s (15.9.1993) (25%)
1993 LF1: Van Hook 1h30m02.219s (1.8.1993) (100%)
Results are due Sunday, Oct. 9nd by 10pm ET. Good luck!
