Those are easy, but the right hander before Tosa is giving me headaches. There's no way I can predict how the car will handle that one

+1. difficult to be regular

Registering my interest in racing tomorrow and expressing my intention to be present in an "available" Reg Parnell car.....Unless anyone has any objections...?

No it's ok, only two drivers have been trying to qualify (and they succeed   ) so you can have the #19

The oversteer is a particular difficult move, it just snaps out

No problem with too much under or oversteer in my Lotus 25!!! Could use an updated engine though...Colin?  

Server launched, qual in 20 minutes   

I'm going to miss this one, but I'll be back at Goodwood   

If there is a problem during the start procedure or with the server, don't hesitate to write it in the chat, I'll be watching it   

Avec peu de practice et venant juste de rentrer de weekend, je préfère déclarer forfait. Bonne course!

nightmare race was going well in 2nd place,then huge understeer appeared from nowhere,slight kiss of barrier and car finished    cya at next one.

 3eme sans probleme, je me déconcentre et je rate la corde du droit aveugle avant ... la tosa ? En tout cas, je la rate de 12 metres cinquante (la largeur de la piste) et j'explose la lotus

Ils sont un peu pénibles ces virages roulette russe sans marquage au sol suffisant pour prendre des repères.

C'est d'autant plus rageant que j'étais dans le coup et c'est plutôt rare ces temps ci.

Merci HSO et vivement la prochaine.

Bons essais avec ma nouvelle Brabham, j'aurai pu encore gagner deux places si j'avais eu le temps de faire les qualifs,mais bon 12 ième sur la grille de départ.
Au moment du tour de mise en place, mon image s'envole,je ne sais que la régler avec la souris, c'est très délicat,elle ne doit pas bouger !
J'ai oublié la touche sur laquelle on doit pousser !!
Concentrer au départ, je met mon moteur en route 30 sec avant le départ, je suis stressé par mon image, le bruit des moteurs autour de moi couvre le mien,(images et sons difficile!)le voyant de surchauffe s'allume......l
Rien ne va,j'essaye de ne pas monter trop haut dans les tours,et évidement départ raté....!
Evidement,je fais une faute après quelques tours, je brise ma suspension droite,je rentre aux stands, je perd 1 minute, je suis dernier, et elle n'est pas réparée....!
Je fais encore quelques tours ,mais bon,rien ne va,cerise sur le gâteau le moteur explose, finis la vie d'artiste !!

A oublier sauf les qualifs

Ditto. I'd like to know what's behind all that, is it simply a setup thing or what Moreover, the car is, I think, very difficult to set up. The clock shows if the change is in the right direction but I can't feel what the car is doing

The first five laps or so were good, then I smacked the barrier on the approach to Rivazza after which I started hearing tire scrub noises on the straights as well. Some twenty laps on, after wringing every last bit out of my poor little thing, I hit the same piece of armco properly and bent the suspension. Half a lap later I, in anger, spun and blew the engine. Bring on the next one

I know I agreed on the admins' decision to use the historic version of the track but I really wouldn't mind if an event was skipped altogether in case a quality track is not available anywhere.

well, what can I say. All went perfect today, except qualifying, wd Joel

Race on maximum attack, no errors, perfect start, perfect win despite a poor quality track.

Grats to all and grats to me
