Can I take the #29 Lola-Larrousse (ex Goissen) ? Thanks

I would like to take Gabriele´s Lotus if possible!

Any chance I can get a place on the waiting list? Just in case an opportunity arises.

The #10 Footwork and #35 Modena are now open to tier 2 of the waiting list. If they are still vacant after 24 hours, they will be open to anyone.

#10 Footwork please.

minardi 24 , je vais faire un essai sans grande conviction

Je te fais confiance, Greg, pour tirer 100% et même plus de la Minardi !  
Personne n'a oublié tes performances et ton titre à son volant en 2013 !  
En tout cas, tu n'auras pas de mal à faire mieux que moi et Petr qui avons jeté l'éponge, n'arrivant pas pour ma part à en tirer quoi que ce soit d'intéressant   , connaissant même pour la 1ère fois en 429 course en 8 ans d'HSO les affres d'une non-qualification

Alors, rien que pour le fait de te voir continuer d'animer le champ, je suis soulagé d'avoir envoyé balader cette Minardi !
Et je suis sûr que tu en sauras faire profiter de ton expérience, Brian, ton nouveau coéquipier !

I also hope that Greg can now have a fair chance at competing for victories. All F1 mods are hell when trying to balance a field, but this one is especially complicated. David Jaques must be commended for his sporting spirit, as well as Greg who has been putting all his effort and abilities in the preparation of the races to produce a good spectacle. Greg, no matter the results you achieve in this championship, we all see you as THE quickest driver, capable of incredible things, and admire your effort. Respect

Now I just need a tier 2 car and the fun can begin

I'd have only taken the Footwork for a one-off at Mexico as it would be the last race with the troublesome Porsche V12, let's see how our "youngster" will get on with it.

I am quite sure Footwork/Arrows is the only team that hasn't yet qualified for a GP...

Mexico will be different hopefully.....

That's nothing against you(Chris), Michael or Gianluca. The engine is overweight and underpowered, but the chassis not much better imo. And the Hart engine isn't really a step forward, especially when I read that they couldn't wait for Porsche to update their engine, which was later used at Le Mans(quite successfully I believe).

Even I, Mr fast "Super-Sub", needed David's help. I'd have not qualified the Brabham inside the Top Ten(maybe also Top Fifteen) at Montréal if it wasn't for him being such a generous driver.

the Porsche V12 can do it here at Mexico
will give my help to the guys
cause realy want to see this last race it ran at least 1 on the grid!

I think, the mod doesn't replicate the oil surge problems that led to the disaster of Mexico, when more than half of the engines at race site were already kaboom on friday. So there is actually a chance to qualify I'll keep my fingers crossed for you guys!

Actually, when Porsche pulled the plug, there was a V10 in development, which later became part of the deadborn LMP1, which existence isn't officially confirmed by Porsche today. Finally, the engine found a home in the Carrera GT super sportscar.

Porsche? It was the guys at Footwork that couldn't wait I think. They pulled the plug, not Porsche.

It was them that either couldn't wait for an updated V12 or that V10

if you realise the package is going the opposite way if expected
the cheapest way was to get the cosworth's v8s to save at least the half waisted season and get some points instead of putting tonns of $$$ to hope for a good result

the chassis was instead more suited for a light v8 then a v12 but
V12 was what everybody wants in the early 90s
thinking it was the best to counter the casual DFR's untill ford HB and renault v10 proved a different story
most chassis started the 3.5l era with a v8 from the beginning from the 89 season and werent much improved or tested like nowadays to simply swap a v12 init
a positive note however the 1991 season was one of the loudest ever!

I should have been more precise, of course Footwork dumped the Porsche engine post Mexico, and given the expectations and results, rightly so. But Porsche's work on the F1 project didn't stop right at that point (though probably not long thereafter). Formally, the contract between Porsche and Footwork wasn't terminated before Japan.

But then, the FA12 wasn't exactly a masterpiece, too.

It was cheaper?

If one side breaches the contract, then the other could ask for a hefty compensation, right?

So Footwork wouldn't come out easy either way...

Oh I know I was just teasing you. TBH I've found all my times so far have exceded my expectations lol. When I 1st drive laps on the track for that round I look at the lap times and think "no way" but so far I have achieved better times for me than I thought I could. I'm at least enjoying practice and qualifying while learning some setup skills. Some have goals of winning, some have goals of making the race. Its all good to me.

I can drive the Modena #34?
