 cool, nice that cars can be opened up by drivers not being there 2 times, i may have last year not been at races without explanation

Yes Mike is correct, this rule has been active at HSO for many years, the reason why you did not lose your Holden is because there was no waiting list.

je suis des votres

Very interersted

Very Interested as well.

Je participerai à ce championnat avec plaisir

Alberto has elected to do one-off drives during the year, FYI.

We are very happy with the interest this series has generated!

We are working on the driver groupings as we speak; when we post them on the 20th, the mod will be made available as well. Stay tuned...

Add me to the list of interested drivers aswell please

that explains, i may have all together tried driving 2 races with that.... and the game gave up both times


and what i can't really figure out... it's like real life? the quickest drivers get the quickest cars?

No. Admins can refuse a car to a driver if they deem it too fast for him. HSO encourages the challenge and balanced field, giving slower drivers better cars to make races more fun for everyone  

Still, the fastest drivers usually win

Read the first post, there will be a grouping system to choose the cars later.

Group 5: ATS, Ensign, Merzario

Theodore? Not in the mod or same car specs as Wolf(even though they used their own car called TR1 at first)?

Martini-Ford(with Arnoux)?

No Hesketh as the team folded early into the season?

I guess only full-season entries are part of the mod then.

There is discussion about opening up one off cars for drivers who are not running the whole season. For now, the bookings will be for full season cars.

All the cars you mentions David are available for certain races as one off entries (The cars in real life only contested a couple of races), these cars are for people who a, do not want to commit to a full season or b, drivers on the waiting list for a regular car can use them until a car becomes free.

Excuse my sillyness again

I wasn't able to add 1 + 1 there.

I am in

Me too, time and enthusiasm permitting.

Hi, very interested. Sign me up please.

Hey there, I was introduced to this site by fellow Swiss driver David Jundt.
If there is a chance to join this, I'd be interested.

**Car booking will open on Sunday 20th December at 20h00 CET.**


Please note that we have revised the car groups from five down to three:

Group 1: Lotus, Brabham, Ferrari, Wolf, Arrows, Rebaque 
Group 2: Williams, Ligier, Tyrrell, BS Fabrications, Fittipaldi, Renault, McLaren
Group 3: Shadow, Surtees, ATS, Ensign, Merzario 


Once car booking opens, we will post the driver groupings. You can then list three teams from your group that you would like to drive for, in order of preference. Posting before someone else is NOT a guarantee that you will get a certain car before they do.  Rather, we encourage you to test the cars in your group and see what suits you best.

Based on the overwhelming response, it is obvious that not everyone will get a full time drive.  If you feel that you may only be able to run a limited schedule in 2016, please indicate this in a post (Alberto Ibanez and Jukka Maattanen have already done so).  There will be open cars available at most of the races, so even those without a full time drive will have a chance to take part.

question for version of two cars for the season:

# 20  WALTER WOLF RACING : WR1/3/4 or wr5/6 ?

# 30  BS FABRICATIONS : M23 or M26 ?

You start in the first ones and then later in the season (Monaco for BS Fab) you upgrade to the M26
So you will drive both cars.

ok richard
Thanks for the info
