Autódromo José Carlos Pace, also known by its former name Interlagos, is a motorsport circuit located in the city of São Paulo, in the neighborhood of Interlagos, renamed after Carlos Pace, a Brazilian Formula One driver who had died in a 1977 plane crash. It is well known for being the venue of the Formula One Brazilian Grand Prix.
The traditional name of the circuit (literally, "between lakes") comes from its location on the neighborhood of Interlagos, a region between two large artificial lakes, Guarapiranga and Billings, which were built in the early 20th century to supply the city with water and electric power. It was renamed in 1985 from "Autódromo de Interlagos" to its current name to honor the Brazilian Formula One driver José Carlos Pace, who died in a plane crash in 1977.

Another fun night's racing!
After a late dinner and watching some olympics, suddenly realized it was after 8.30. Rushed out to man cave (tin garage), boot up computer - stupid IP conflict with router in house. Re-boot router, re-boot computer, load rfactor with a minute or 2 to spare for race one :D
Forgot to run comms as admin so wondered why push to talk wasn't working :crazy:

Used the first lap or 2 of the race to remember which corners were the sharp ones! The Porsche seems to use a fair bit of gas - maybe its the way I drive it! Had about 1 lap to spare (almost) at end of race 2, and that was after cruising for 2 laps to save fuel - used about 120 litres or so, maybe 125.

Nearly caught MMJ then has a self spin exiting turn 2, finished about 1 second behind :)
