Ultra realistic driver fluctuation at ATS here

Cannot wait for our Günter to destroy the next rearwing upgrade

When it hits the tier 1 list tomorrow morning that crap wagon is mine. I am the only tier 1.

Here an ATS quote from Keke Rosberg.

Among the team's other drivers in 1978 was Rosberg. "I had a fantastic race at Brands," says Keke. “I was running fourth when the whole thing fell apart; the rear end basically came off the car. Schmid said I drove it too hard, and I said, `If you don't drive it hard you ain't gonna run fourth!'

Fourth in the ATS   I drove one at Paul Ricard fourth was a dream, well done Keke.

I guess that's why Richard quit the team, the didn't want his rear all over the place at his home GP

The #9 ATS is open to tier 1 today; Mike has claimed it as he is the only driver in Tier 1.

Confirmed

May i ask in which "tier" i could sort myself in? (Drive 2 Races as Fulltimer, missed 3, drove 3 as One-Off)  

I've got no Problem with One-Offs, most important is participating

But would be cool to join a Team from Hockenheim until the end of the season.  
(missing Brands Hatch because of Rock am Ring Festival here in Germany)

You would slot into the waiting list as tier 1 with 3 one off starts

I'd like to be put on the waiting list, if it's ok. With Brands Hatch, I've got 4 One-offs so far, if I'm correct.

If the car is still vacant 24 hours from now, it goes to tier 1 of the waiting list.



The #37 Merzario is also available to full-time drivers who want to switch to another car.

tryed both, but best in renault 1:28.6 , maybe with good setup but the Surtees is much readable

The Renault turbo kick makes it a real challenge to drive, but that power could be useful on upcoming tracks like Hockenheim and Monza.

I will try Renault. I did 1:26.5 which is not too far from my best 1:25.7 without any special tuning so with almost the same setup as for Ensign so i see there some potential. I think with my results i cannot lost more.:-)

I was thinking that it will be easy to reach time better than in Surtees but high 28 in my hand is too much behind my best time

I would like to vacate the horrendous ATS and switch to the much safer Ensign please!
