1955 Official Data:
Mercedes dominance continued into 1955 with Moss moving into the big time as Fangio`s team mate.
Ascari was killed at Monza while trying out a Ferrari sports car,just days after surviving a ducking in the Monaco harbour.
Worse was to come with the LeMans tragedy that took the lives of more than 80 spectators and resulted in many cancelled world championship races.
This led to a temporary motorsport ban in France and a ban on all circuit racing in Switzerland [which still remains].
In July Lancia handed over their complete racing team to Ferrari.

My replay site will be offline when the VOR-EURO is running to help with bandwidth.

Just did the upgrade and tried a few laps, but it didn't seem right using the paddle shifters for these beauties, so I switched to the gated shifter on my G25. It's been a long time since I've used one so it's going to be a sharp re-learning curve.

Yep,looks like you have some learning to do Jim.LOL.
But back then they had to double de-clutch too.
Like clutch in,shift,clutch out,up and down.

Changed Spa to the 67 GPL conversion track.
Changed Zandvoort to the 67 GPL convertion track.
Aintree is ok.
Indy is the oldest I could find.

Hi Joe,

Are we required to have the 1.255F upgrade?

As yet I have not performed this task as two other leagues I am entered have not done so.

This has me between a rock and a hard place.

If I can still use the 1.250 I would like to try these out, otherwise will have to wait till I make the move.

Thanks,

Larry

Larry, 1255F required for ALL champion servers.. so this series, the Meganes AND the new ILMS require 1255F.. Sorry if this is going to cause you hardship.. The update works well, you should encourage your other leagues to make the change.
Hope to see you soon.
