1972 Interlagos 500 Kms [April 14th]

#40 Porsche 906 (Greg Loomis) : Free

I'll take the remaining one(Simon has the one with the cool mirrors and the aero flaps at the front ), I like light cars that are nice to drive


I wonder why the Guy Verrier Team is Swiss according to the information tab in rF... I can understand that Bonnier's team is Swiss as he moved to Lausanne, but Verrier?

Bah, history anyway.

Then you should try the Healy, feels like it has a ton of metal everywhere

I enjoy to drive it very very much so it will be good fun to race with it

#28 Porsche 910 (John L'Amie Racing) : Free
I shall sign up for this one.
Thank you.

It's "Healey", and I already said that I drove it, 59 something.

I can nearly do that in the Porsche

Niceties

And ok, then I should be happy with my pace with full fuel and hard tires on the thing

I did that with default setup after a few laps though, so I think this time is beatable

Murray: "JUNDT'S OFF-TRACK AGAIN!"

Martin: "That's a replay Murray, he's not even in the race anymore."

===========================

LOL! Ok, now THAT's ^^^ funny!*

[* of course, you DO have to know what Murray Walker did and what he's famous for too, to get it--fortunately I do. ]

This track DOES incorporate a version of the very best feature of "Old Interlagos": The downhill dive into T1, then T2...and out onto the backstretch.

Niki Lauda listed this...and commented on this section as one of his "Top Ten Toughest Spots in F1 Racing" in his first book, back in 1976 (after his first of three World Driving Championships). I'm still trying to find the book here in my house (I have just misplaced it), and if I do, I plan to copy his comments about the place here verbatim. But basically, he described it as a real heart stopping spot, where you dove downhill almost on faith...and flat out in fifth gear (there were only usually only five gears in F1 cars back then--BRM being the exception to the rule...).

But maybe someone else knows his comments too? From "The Art and Science of Grand Prix Driving?" (1975) Post it and save me the trouble!

Yep, in 1979 the track was getting extremely bumpy and with the hugely increased cornering speed due to the ground effect, lots of people were very worried about that turn 1. The car was shaking so much, the drivers couldn't see where they were going, most of them had padding in their cockpit around their helmet, to prevent their head from moving a lot.

Really a nice series of corners, it's the classic one where you always enter thinking you're too hot in, and exit thinking you could have gone faster through ... but next time you go faster in and end in the barriers

Almost full field, small track, 3 classes, this will be fun

Do you have any way to see if there's anyone in the server from the website, without having to open rFactor?

There isn't tool, for the moment, to see if there's anyone on the server.
If you have a android smartphone or tablette, you can try this app : http://es.appbrain.com/app/rf-server-info-free/com.singingaubergine.rfserverinfofree

Anybody have any setup advice for THAT corner? Holy crap what an evil beast!!! Packers seem to be my friend!

The line is much more important than the setup here. But anyway a bit of assymetrical should help since all turns are to the left ...

I woul like to race the event. I´m from Spain , from PDLR like Ricard.
I would like to race with the free Porsche 910 number 27.
Thanks

Welcome Miguel

Hombre, otro de mi añada ... bienvenido

Got that. I think I got that curver down now. Top times are beating me in sector 1, and that is now the focus.

Thanks your the welcome.

Saludos Alberto

Gui, Ben and Antoine,

Would it be possible for me to do livestream coverage of this race with Yankee English language commentary? I have been wanting to do this for a long time, and I think this may be a good opportunity to try it. Listening to Ben and Antoine call the Canadian GP really piqued my interest in this

id love to join this race. please put me in anything that comes available thanks

I have heard Jason's commentary on his videos and I think he would do a great job with some Yankeeenglish comments on livestream he would slot in perfectly
