Nice! I love Zolder, it's a great track. Got some footage of driving the GP79 mod, might upload it someday.

from Wiki

1982 Belgian Grand Prix

Qualifying
Canadian driver Gilles Villeneuve was killed in an accident during the final qualifying session. At the time of the crash, his team-mate Didier Pironi had set a time 0.1s faster than Villeneuve for sixth place. Contemporary and more recent writers say that he was attempting to improve his time on his final lap. Some suggest that he was specifically aiming to beat Pironi due to bitterness at being passed by him two weeks earlier in the closing stages of San Marino, when Villeneuve believed Pironi had been ordered to remain behind him.
Villeneuve's biographer Gerald Donaldson quotes Ferrari race engineer Mauro Forghieri as saying that the Canadian, although pressing on in his usual fashion, was returning to the pits on his last set of qualifying tyres when the accident occurred. If so, he would not have set a time on that lap.

With eight minutes of the session left, Villeneuve came over the rise after the first chicane and found Jochen Mass travelling much more slowly through Butte, the left-handed bend before the Terlamenbocht corner. Mass saw Villeneuve approaching at high speed and moved to the right to let him through on the racing line. At the same instant Villeneuve also moved right to pass the slower car. The Ferrari hit the back of Mass' car and was launched into the air at a speed estimated at 200–225 km/h (120–140 mph). It was airborne for over 100 m before nosediving into the ground and disintegrating as it somersaulted along the edge of the track. Villeneuve, still strapped to his seat, but without his helmet, was thrown a further 50 m from the wreckage into the catch fencing on the outside edge of the Terlamenbocht corner.

Several drivers stopped and rushed to the scene. John Watson and Derek Warwick pulled Villeneuve, his face blue, from the catch fence. The first doctor arrived on the scene within 35 seconds to find that Villeneuve was not breathing, although his pulse continued throughout; he was intubated and ventilated before being transferred to the circuit medical centre and then by helicopter to University St Raphael Hospital where a fatal fracture of the neck was diagnosed. Villeneuve was kept alive on life support while his wife travelled to the hospital and the doctors consulted with specialists worldwide. He died at 9:12 that evening.
The Ferrari team withdrew from the race after the accident and left the circuit. The final eight minutes of the qualifying were run after the debris from the accident had been cleaned up.


I watched this live and as always when something like this happened, I stopped following F1 for a long time.

Very moving!

Of course this event aquires more interest now.

Nice one Niko.

[yerkeee]

Good read Nikos, awful way to go out and it's insane that he flew out of his seat.

This track has a very poor grip on the grass, it will be not easy at all to finish without damages!

Okay, I'll let you in on a secret; you should drive on the grey stuff, not the green.
I've seen more guys doing that and with some great results.

At the exit of turn 4 (as shown in nikos' map) is very easy to get a walk throught the grass. You want to accelerate early but it feels as the curve doesn't want you to do so.

[giorgetto giaguaro]

Yes Gorka, but I totally agree with Wim.
Thanx for the tip Wim! XD

[Navigator]

No problem!

P.S. When you go and play rally games, contact me; got some more secrets for you than

[Hectari]

Watch out! There's a hole on the grass that booted me back to the pits in a race here without actually falling through it. Think it's around T7 on the right side near the first kerb.

I'll pop on the server at some point later to try and recreate it to see if it was a one off.

[Hectari]

Achtung! If you drive on the grass where the arrow is pointing, between the wall and the kerb, you have a good chance of teleporting back to the pits and ending your race.

Big hole near pit exit on the right, cant miss it, great place to stuff people into at the end of a race, just like robot wars lol

There's probably more but staying on the black stuff seems the way to go with this one!

Won't be racing on sunday or for any of the remaining races in the F2 league but good luck and have fun

[Lecram]

Thanks for the warning. There's a hole at the right of the pitlane exit as well.

Won't be racing on sunday or for any of the remaining races in the F2 league

[giorgetto giaguaro]

Thank you Hectari, hope to see you soon on track!
