Merci Gerard!

haven't had time to test yet, but could someone tell me what I have to expect from the Hesketh? How much slower is it going to be than, say, the Lotus?

A lot, about 5-6 seconds maybe, unless you're an alien.

Guys, I'm so thankful for your support! I'll try all those things now. Thanks a lot!

As-tu bien télécharger le lien dans le topic rules? Car tu as peut-être une version précédente.
Je viens d'aller sur le serveur avec la #36 de Rolf Stommelen (ARG), et je n'ai pas eu de soucis.

OK merci Ben et Jason, c'était bien çà

Well i had the race in mind, so tried to make an easy to drive one, but i did 1.46.5 with it so...

I assume the setup is based with soft tires then? The softs will not last a race distance and pitstops to change your tires are out of the question. (Take at least 1 minute to change tires)

I did a few runs with accelerated fuel and tyre wear with both setups, from Alberto and Jonatan and tried some of the recommended adjustments. Alberto's set clearly improves the oversteer a lot, the car feels much better, but the oversteer becomes worse with time. Very good for qualifying, though  However, Jonatan's setup is absolutely amazing during long runs. Tyre temperatures and wear is perfectly distributed between front and rear, the car turns, handles, goes fast in straight line from start to finish... just perfect. I made some tiny adjustments, a few clicks here and there based on advice from Alberto and i'm more than happy with it. Thank you both!

Glad to hear that Peter, now on to storm through the field

I'm happy to hear that my setup was a good race base to build from

Yeah, nice to see all those "Aliens" in Group 3 at the back of the field

Obviously you have not seen Greg's lap yet.

Give Greg a Lotus 79 and he will be champion by round 3

We put Aliens in group 3 so the other guys have a chance of winning, not so they will be at the back of the field and cannot win.

And to make the overall field more competitive, hence making the racing more fun.

Well, it looks that I could be competitive only if you take them one wheel off, or one (or maybe both) wings off too..

We need Ripley on the field to give us a chance!!!!

I really have to to group 3...

sorry Richard but I m totaly disagree with you  , of my point of view , you had to be also in group 3 !

it will be to easy for you and you know it . traduction of french expression " it will be finger in the nose for you "

you are a faster driver  than , Jacob Fredriksson,, Alessio Campigotto, Matthias Weber, David Jundt  , and you have  the same level of , Vincent Beretta and   Yves Plaçais .

and if you speak about statistic : you have 18 wins / 10 poles and 49 podiums in 194 races ... it s better statistic compare to them and the numbers of race ...

but statistic are nothing , I m just speaking about your general level of speed .

The Tyrrell is one of the slowest cars in group 2, almost same speed as the quickest from group 3. Richard could have been in group 3 but there were not enough cars then, so we would have had to put the slowest car from group 2 there also -The Tyrrell- and the result would have been the same

But don't worry if he dominates much we will disqualify him somehow, a la NASCAR

oh really !! so please give me the Tyrell

Sure, do you want it with 3 or only with 2 wheels?

While I agree with Gregoire that Richard is a very fast driver, bear in mind that we haven't even done the first qualifying session yet!
