Are just 10 extra litres enough to allow you to use the fuel mixture you want? It seems a very small difference.

Nobody is changing anything, this is an historically accurate mod, you need to save fuel, you save it.

Just to remember.

Thanks Richard also its not allowed    

Greg is a incredible great fast driver but putting a larrouse on 1st row with 1.22 must make  a phsyics maker think there is some fundemental problem with its induvidual physics , that car could run top 6 in races
but qualify never so high

as far as i know greg and ari antero are 2 guys who can crack somehow the physics of a car and exploid them to insane fast laptimes with setups nobody can drive

as its never been talked about but we still working on v2.0 after 6 years release inwichh ALL data is put in accomplished by visits to factorries  talks with Neil Oatley, test by Mark blundel and god knows we did more
some new things that are implemented are ;
infact most cars specialy the slower ones only make only use of 2 way dampers intead of 4 which means also the larrouse  and make it more complicated aswell use of 3 variants of packer sets and 3 variants of gearboxes.
shifting is much harder to match the gears or you're revs will stuck and blow your gearbox ( engine)
and much more upgrades for each cars during the season , and many many more...
should be payware mod if its ever gonna be released for public

dont want to rude but driving a 78shadow on pole and win a champ is odd according a historic mod
that car should be act like a modena/coloni

Even if a mod was 100% historicaly correct, you can't compare real results and HSO's results, the drivers levels are not as close as they were in real life.

Well, we have to agree that drivers distribution in cars with aim to level and make racing interesting to all of us, is something that colides with historical realism.

A driver of Gregs abilities would be engaged in a team like Williams much sooner the me, and I would be happy if abble to drive those class 5 cars, if at all!! So, just imagine his lap times in FW14!!!

What I want to say, it is not so odd that Greg is having such a great results, even in much slower cars. He is just a class of its own, with no, or at least with very small competition!

So, as much as Im thankfull for great car, I can understand Gregs "frustration", becose, if nothing, its not fair that best drivers (not only Greg!) drive slowest cars, but from my point of view, its even more chalangeing for them, as much is satisfactional for us, slowers, to participate in races and can battle for points and some honor

And not even close to what they were in real life (Except maybe Greg )

Meanwhile, I am 2 seconds faster than Grouillard's time in Pre-Q(less grip, but I was still a few tenths quicker on my first wobbly lap), realistic, eh?

Also, there's something else to consider: Greg is as, if not more, reliable&consistent than a Swiss clockwork. He'll be there when a mistake is made by other drivers.

Not to forget that this track requires a lot of concentration. Once mistake and you're done here. Wouldn't be surprised if Greg still manages to get into the lead early on.

Get ready for a world of pain if you think about making money out of the F1 brand.

You know, this reminds me of the old joke about soccer ...

F1 is a sport invented by brits, raced by everyone, and won by Greg  

Come on, let's race and wait a bit, last year when Petr Hlavac ruled in Argentina everybody was mad and in the end ... well in the end we know who ruled

That's not true in fact.

AGS got a group 2 and a group 3 drivers
Coloni got a group 2 driver
Footwork got a group 1 and group 2 drivers
Fondmetal got a group 1 and a group 3 drivers
Modena got a group 1 and a group 3 drivers.

you've got in the final ONLY three of the fastest drivers (out of nine..well ten with Greg...well 12 as the Lotus boys seems also quite fast) driving the slowest cars

That's only a third. The two third remaining have been given to middle and slow guys.[/quote]

As i wrote, some dayzs ago, in Ferrari mixture at lowest (1 or 0) and calculated from xd plugin the tank id 10l smaller than i need for full race and the time are 1:32, i had totaly wrong setup or i dont know what is wrong, max revs 2 clicks down from max

lower the engine brake to around below 5 will save fuel , higher or even 10 will use more fuel also wearout the brakes alot more

but race is 2 hours which means 7200sec : aprox laptime ( 1.m 30sec) 90sec = 80 laps!

so it will be squeeze your bud in the seat

can only run boost 6-7 with Ligier or will run out of fuel,thats with 215ltr tank,but short shifting will save fuel so will lift and coast so i think everybody will have to turn boost down or risk running it dry

In theory i should make it on full power with a full tank. I think.

Maybe.

Hello,

Malchance (comme en 2013, il me semble me rappeler) une crève (rhume, toux, mal de tête, etc...) m'est tombé dessus, je vais être incapable de tenir correctement le volant pour la qualif ce soir et la course de demain... du fond de mon lit !
Je préfère laisser ma place libre pour un pilote sur la liste d'attente.

Roulez bien et rendez-vous à Interlagos !

Sorry to hear Yves, get well soon

Yves Minardi is free for this race.

Hope you have a quick recovery Yves !

By my calculations I'll be able to do the full GP with a 8 fuel mixture with the same car. Quite strange there I must have miscalculated perhaps.

Soignes toi bien Yves.......ça me laisse peut être une chance de me qualifier si ton remplaçant n'est pas trop rapide parce que je ne peux pas faire la deuxième scéance qualif ce soir et j'en reste donc sur un 1'26"600 qui risque d'être un peu juste.

i think if we get lapped then 8 will be ok.

And get well soon Yves

ahhh le Greg , il vous fait parler


I hope that HSO  does not use anti cheat, because I installed a 300 L  tank on my car

soigne toi bien Yves

And as I don't see how I could end in the same lap as the winner no problem then

Did you add extra Boost 12 as well

We have one car open for this race as a one-off, FYI
