You see.. Sign me (us) in. Im cryptic about this car too, so be free to ask...

I'm going to assume this means you want you and Timo to share the car.

If and when he confirms, yes, otherwise Ill be Han SOLO.. And the car.. Well you know

I'll leave Timo there for now.  Let me know when he confirms.

That's great, Raul. And the Alfa might be a less vivacious car...?

Je sais pas si ça vous fait ça, mais au volant de ces F1 1937, j'ai vraiment l'impression d'être sur une piste de ski !

Il faut tout anticiper un maximum, si tu plantes dans une trajectoire ou un freinage, tu peux le payer 500m plus loin, sympa!

Seems that I have a family dinner on the same day as the race so I won't be in the best conditions to drive a GP with these cars in the evening

Therefore, if someone really wants the Mercedes #5 he can have it. If nobody picks it, I will race it on sunday the best I can

I'll take it. If you want it back just let me know

Glad to see you joining

@ Alberto :

I've tested the Daimler, only one lap.... ça booste la Merco !

default setup (just brakes) 60/40

Merci Yves

I knew that the car could go much quicker, it just needed a top driver to unlock the potential

The difference at fast tracks like the Avus or Spa should be even bigger, so I think we are OK in terms of relative performance.

I think so

Still we are much quicker than the real life pole, which was 2.32

I believe the reason is that we are doing a crazy jump between turn 1 and 2 that real drivers would never do, and also driving through the forest as if we were inmortal (Which we are, but the real drivers were not   ). Plus the margin of inaccurancy in both physics and track

Tout à fait, Alberto ！

Yeah, Juha, David and me were already discussing that unreal jump at the start of the lap, that sequence of corner was much more flowing from one side to the other(less straight-lined) without enough surface irregularities to make such a big jump happening.

I mean, I could travel to Bern Bremgarten and see how it is if that street is still there.

The Motorsport Aktuell had an issue where they walked the track... some motorway and building projects cut up the former circuit.

Here are some pics: https://permanenttourist.ch/2013/06/bremgarten-grand-prix-circuit/

And thanks to someone making a tribute to Bernd Rosemeyer, we can kinda see how Bremgarten looked like. We can actually see that the section we talked about absolutely had no reason for the cars to jump:

And as I have forseen it, I wont race this cars..
Im not in a mood lately, and driving this car is not doing me good..

If I get a chance, Ill do few more laps, but with this integrity of practice, Ill be a collosal danger on the track, which Ill rather avoid.

Dont know about Timo, but you can remove me from the seat.

thank you nonthanless..

have fun

Sorry to hear that buddy. And sorry for non-responsiveness: crazy at work lately.

I will take the 46 Alfa for now and do my best. If you reconsider, we can obviously share the car.

Thanks Timo, your kind as allways.

This cars are just far beyond my driving skill and with allmost no time for practice there is no point!

I'm not going to participate in this race.
The cars are a whole load of fun to drive but for one, I'm just not feeling motivated enough to drive my car for a whole race distance, and i've got bitten by the AMS bug.

The Psychosis, leaves the Auto Union, can I get in this car?

Any chance "outsiders" will be able to watch this "endurance" event tonight?
