Lastplace Racing Team

Welcome to the lastplace.mini series!

During the last "winterbreak" between the GPC seasons 2006.2 and 2007.1 we organised the first occurence of the lastplace.mini series.
The series was limited to lastplace drivers only and was won by Phil Woodward. For a small seasonreport click here.

The second edition of the lastplace.mini series will be on an invitational basis and will feature 4 events.

Dates & venues

• 04-08-2007 – Silverstone
• 18-08-2007 – Monaco GP
• 01-09-2007 – Aviano GP
• 15-09-2007 – Spa Francorchamps – Endurance race
  

Events
The first three events of the series will feature a sprint race and a feature race. The sprint race length is around 15 minutes, and the feature race will be three times the sprint race distance.
Before the sprint race, a qualifying session will be held to determine the starting positions.
Just Like in the GP2 series and WTCC, the grid for the feature race will be determined by reversing the first 8 cars on grid as they finished the sprint race. So P8 in the sprint race will start on pole during the feature race.

The final event, taking place in Spa, will be a single endurance race. A qualifying session will set the starting grid. The length of the endurance race will be around 90 minutes.

Points
For the first 6 races the F1 style of points will be used, the points for the endurance race in parentheses.
P1: 10(15) points
P2: 8(12) points
P3: 6(9) points
P4: 5(8) points
P5: 4(6) points
P6: 3(5) points
P7: 2(3) points
P8: 1(2) point

Car
Since the 1.03 is keeping us waiting, the FTarget is still a bit unusable. The car for this league will be the Formula 2000.

Server
Lastplace has it's own server provided by Tjeerd Veenstra. During the event, the server will be password protected and will run netKar in Full mode

Time & Chat
The event will start at 21:00 CET. All participants are welcome to join the lastplace.chat before 21:00. The lastplace.chat can be accessed by clicking on the chatting smileys on the top right of the forum.

Lucas Wrote:*editted*

I'd love to join, guys Unfortunately I will be away from July 29th to August 7th, so I will miss the first event. Well, I could at least try to fight for some podiums in the last three events I guess ... that means, IF I get an invitation.

Guys, I don't know if I'm even eligible for this event but if so and if I'm invited then I'd like to sign up.

The only unfortunate thing for me is that Lastplace should be called Firstplace as some of the fasters drivers in nkpro come from this very team, and infact the line-up already reads like a A list of aliens, add jaap and I'm basically so out of my depth that I'm being fundamentally stupid in even trying and expect to be last in every event.

Now as coming last or even close to last really hurts my competitive nature and my overwhelming urge to be good at anything that I do, I have no doubt that this event will crush me like a bug underfoot, will probably leave me mentally scarred, sad, disillusioned and will most probably drive me to drink and eventually drugs...... but hey so what.. you only live the once eh...

So let me know if I can sign up boys, you may need a good backmarker.

Nice monologue Dave

We will get back to you hopefully on Sunday, that counts for Jaap too.

Not too worry Lucas, I'm going to withdraw my request for an invite anyway.

I'll wait until I get some more experience and speed before I try getting in the way of you fast boys.

Thanks and regards
Dave.

I'll drive a few races if i may… but same as Jaap I can’t drive them all.
On 18-8 I can’t drive for sure.

See you online Roy
aka DS

All so Dax aka Kraut Slider like to drive some races

With the latest additions the grid is filled.

Andrew and Simon are sharing a spot. Simon can't drive the first race and Andrew can't drive the the other races, so that was a pretty easy solution
We have 2 reserve spots for possible late-joiners.

Looking forward to it, eventhough I'm pretty rusty with NKP now.
