I have been around here for a while but just realised i had not posted in this section. I thought i better tell you all a bit about myself because i have signed up to run the BSCC races. I am 35 and live in Adelaide Australia. I have been simracing for about 5 years and i am a part owner of a great Aussie League "Australian Virtual Motorsport". At the moment we are running modern cars there and i miss the Historics. I love what you guys do here so thought i would have a run. I will have to get up early and might be late for work after the longer races but should be fun Laughing 

I have a 1962 Fiat 1500 Historic Touring car in real life that i am just starting to race this year, so you tell where my passion lies. I am travelling over to see Classic Lemans and the Silverstone Classic events this year so can't wait for that. Anyway i have probably talked enough. See you on track  :banane:

We certainly glad Alex your decision to take a more active part in the race of life HSO!
Now it is absolutely clear why for classic racing cars there is a corner in your heart! And not some small area, and the huge corner! And HSO of course a great place to share this hobby, though virtual image. Waiting for your appearance on a race track! Wink

Hey Alex, welcome again!
It's nice to have here a true Fiat man  cheers 
Also, I've always liked to be on track with real racers, to try and see if I can learn something.
Could you please put a photo of your mighty FIAT here? :slurp: 
Cheers Alex, and see you on track.

This is it racing in the mid-1990's at Lakeside in Qld.

And this may have been it in the 60's, but it is not confirmed?

The Fiat 1500 is extremely rare in Australia. I guess you see a few in Europe but growing up in Australia i have seen more GT40's than Fiat 1500s  :rigol:  You are right Frank our local track is Mallala, but this year i am hoping to run on the old Adelaide GP track (Clipsal 500 format) and i am trying to get to Winton and Phillip Island too. Fingers crossed  :conduit:

Excellent Thomas Cool , the adventures of the Italian Cortina Down Under  lol! Too bad we don't have the car in rFactor Sad . Do you know who owned your car in the 1980s ? The ARDC still did some Appendix J races at Amaroo Park until the late 1980s, I have one on tape maybe I can spot your car  :D

I do have the name of the owner from the 80's at home. I will post it up when i can. The Logbook i have suggests that since 1980 it was raced only in Queensland, mostly at Lakeside but also Surfers Paradise International and Queensland Raceway etc. I have been looking for footage of it from then but no luck yet  Crying or Very sad  Appendix J still exists in Australia just under the modified "Group N" banner.

Cheers Alex  :hello: :D

Wow Thomas! those pics look great!!!
It's true... that car's missing here in rFactor, and so has a lot of other like these...
Perhaps the HSO Factory, should think about making some of these, instead of the carzy formula cars that they do lol! 
Anyway, I think a lot of touring cars of the 60's and 70's era, are still missing.
Please Jason and you guys!!! c'mon. Lets get the fingernails dirty  :D 
Get on with it, will 'ya?
Cheers Thomas :frank:
