You will be here for the rest of the season, yes? Never seen anyone drive a M28A that fast.

Content d'enfin en finir une cette année! Pas dans le rythme, sans sérieuse préparation, j'ai bien souffert...
Bravo au podium!!

sorry guys, missed that one. was in italy and didn`t make it home early enough.

Pfff I can't tell how disapointed I am . That disco hurts my championship badly... I had a good start and thankfully Pierre too, so I followed him and managed to pass Jan who did not took off that well. I was happy to be able to keep in Pierre's sight for the first laps. When Gui got 3rd he tried all he could to pass but thanks to the superior handling of the Ligier in fast curves (like the last turn) I was able to keep him at a reasonable distance at the big braking points.

I realised early the pace was too fast for my fuel load so I was not sure if I should slow down and let Gui pass, or slow down and not let Gui pass . Unfortunately while thinking it all over I spun in turn 2, I had 25 fps at best here so it was bound to happen I guess. Gui passed but also Jan and Tiago. A few turns later Tiago spun, Jan went wide and I had to spin to avoid them - 30s lost in one lap .

After that, nice chasing behind Jan and Tiago with some manly traffic moments lol . Tiago spun, Jan too. I was now just a couple of seconds behind Jan but the server began to lose me once per lap for a few laps, before my connection eventually died .

Grats to all finishers, and to Gui for the thrilling win. Vraiment rageant Pierre de perdre une victoire dans le dernier tour !

BTW, about the fuel mileage I think this mod is very well done in this respect, as I think the aero load has a crucial influence on it (as in real life). I tend to run with a lot of wings (due to my poor skills of course ) and I was at around 2.3L/lap at Jarama, which is more than Pierre I think who runs with less wing.

See yall in Zolder, another track I like and where the Ligier should be efficient. I hope Carlos Laffite also likes it .

Unlucky situation with Tiago. My fault, later I let him pass

oui j'avais 5 14 mais guillaume avait beaucoup plus je pense et je ne suis pas sur qu il consommait autant

J'avais 5/17. Peut-être que la boîte 6 joue un peu aussi.

10/17 pour moi, mais bon ça ne veut pas dire grand chose, puisque même aux max d'appuis l'Arrows n'atteint pas les appuis de la Ligier ou de la Tyrrell. Je consommais environ 1.8L / tour.

Course terminée au premier tour ... Toutes mes excuses à Patrice je crois, qui m'a tapé de front alors que ma voiture était en perdition en tete à queue. Ce qui s'est passé, c'est que, je ne sais pas pourquoi, mes rétros étaient off ?! Il fallait absolument que je les ai vu qu'il y avait des voitures de partout et je n'ai donc pas attendu la ligne droite pour les mettre et en cherchant la touche "m" de mon clavier, j'ai loupé un freinage. J'espère que Patrice n'a pas eu de dégats trop importants et qu'il a pu continuer, mais le choc était fort ...

Après le choc frontal ma suspension devait etre cassée car la voiture ne tournait plus à gauche. Décidement, je ne suis pas dans une periode de chance actuellement. J'ai était un grand nombre de fois sur le serveur pour préparer la course et toujours j'avais mes rétros, il fallait juste que ça arrive pour la course

Pas tout a fait de front, en fait je suis monté sur ta roue avant droite qui m'a propulsé en l'air .
En retombant, je pense que j'ai bousillé le train avant ou amortisseur, impossible de rouler droit.
J'ai pas pu boucler un tour aussi, mais bon c'est la faute à pas de chance.

Well done Gui, its closing up nicely in the standings.

Good. I think they need a little bit of competition up in the top. Yes, you Pierre.

Edit: WOO-HOO I just learned I get the RS11 at Monaco, I always thought it was Dijon but that
s the first outing with the RS12! So that means only one more race with this... this...

Where do i look for championship standings?

Kimmo

We at Arrows have still 2 races to wait before being able to drive the suppository on wheels

Ok, but I can find only results for Season 2008 & 2009 under category Archives. Am I right or just stupid to find Season 2010?

You must choose the F1 1979 series by clicking on its pic on the left menu

Constructor championship is not up to date. Williams 4 Points

Oops yes indeed, fixed now

Was steady race for me with new car and no setup or practice was going well till lap 38 when i moved over to let 3rd place car through,then wheel touched dirt and threw me across the gravel,then i think mosquito landed on rear and broke the renaults fragile suspension

I thought it was something like that

Peu d'entrainement pour moi et aucune chance de jouer les premiers roles ...heureusement , car quelles belle bagarres avec Carlo (pendant 30 tours au moins) et Vincent ...
j'etais dans l'aileron de Carlo, un poil plus vite que lui, et je me suis regalé a lui mettre une grosse pression ...mais il a le sang froid d'un Finlandais le Carlo
avec brands hatch cela fait deux courses ou je pars d'un peu plus loin, mais ou je m'amuse beaucoup plus
Bravo Gui pour cette victoire incroyable au mental
dommage Pierre qui deconne avec l'essence, et Frank qui paie pas son abonnement
Bravo a greg pour ses debuts et son entrainement au ravitaillement !
a bientot
