Matthias, you're very kind, Im flattered , but I think Gregs "Yes, right!" is far closer to the truth

Cant wait to start....

And yes, thanks to to organisators for letting me have the car witch was my first choice.

seems I only prefer the french steam tea pot

great stuff to drive it but missing the spitting flames from the exhaust! ( non of Dave mods does have it )
but i compensate it with the vlm sound of the peugeot , sounds simular and awesome!! love it !

None of these early turbo cars had flames spitting from the exhaust. There is no video of this Renault spitting flames.
Oil temp should be ok.

not seeing it means its not been there on technical aspect it does for sure
from test reports at ricard , from dusk till dawn with the a500 and rs1 jabouile drove
in the so called black spitting dragon, also in cold weather engine detonation was minimized and realy gets the power advantaged as it ment to be and the boost pressure pushed the fuel out the exhaust in a spectecular way, but when the season started the weather was much hotter and the engine start to detonate like crazy ( losing alot of power) , en broke within several laps , also the footage is rather poor of it indeed and can hardly be noticed.

This mod is so bloody awesome to drive en i realy love this car , im sure i can get it on fire next year

Happy new year !

At least you have extra rubber on your car

Are you envious that I am the British playboy with "extra" rubber in my pocket, while you are the gorilla that even crashes after crossing the line in first?

Better not get beaten by me that race then Steve, John wouldn't be happy

Those of you who did not get a full-time drive to start the season: if you want to be put on the waiting list, please post here.

I hope the factory Lotus drivers can help the customer driver a bit this season.

Heureux d'avoir reçu la Ferrari N° 12 ,
J'espère que je serais à la hauteur de Gille Villeneuve !

Je vous souhaite tous un bon championnat 1978

Marcus de Belgique

Bonne année à tous

Pour les froggies, une présentation de la saison 78

Well I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed with not getting a ride. But I guess I'll look for some other league then. Maybe I'll try to get a car for some of the races here though, maybe Anderstorp and Zandvoort as I absolutely love those tracks.

Your race pace is not known yet. You can compete at most races via one-off drives while you wait for a full-time drive to open up. Do you want to be put on the waiting list?

Finding a pic of Watty in a BT45C was tougher than I thought 

My name is not in any of the teams. It does rider who's with two cars of the same team . In Formula 1 you have 2 cars, it is to be 2 riders. If the Ligier which only has a pilot.

Why can not I run run in any other team? ja that I asked all denied me ?

I'm getting bored here. It's not the first time that injure me in the champ inscription.  Thanks , soon not put my feet here anymore .  And My friends name not appear in the list WHY?

Ligier only ran one car in 1978.

Cars were assigned to people who have been the most consistent when attending race meetings, which to be honest, you haven't (You started 3 races out of 17 possible race in championships and open races where you booked a car). As for your friend, i do not know who you mean so i cannot comment.

If you really want to race, you can pick one of the one off cars for the Argentina race, there is 2 still remaining. People who do the most races in the one off cars shall get preferential treatment should a full time drive become available.

I not run in Argetina or others countrys, I will not be begging car. I be honest to.

I exit from the F1 Season. we happy now?

Your lack of attendance is the primary reason you did not get a full-time ride.

Take it as a "yes".

Actually I'd rather say it's a "no", because I will at least now until May (I think) run in another series on Sunday evenings.

But I will join the race in Argentina so you can see my pace, because I am very interested in racing the USAC championship.

Hey,
I would like to apply to this season so if there is a driver who is unable to start on a race, I would like to take that place for the race
