Round 1 - Zolder (Jan 17th)

You can server snipe my car, the Harrier RX83C and see what you can do with it.

Would be nice to know if it's as slow as I am or if I just don't know what I'm doing in it, I feel like I should be faster than the De Cadenet's and I'm nearly 10 seconds slower.

Jason one of the guys really into this mod can probably give you some feedback on that car....

But that guy is not me...

I'm in with my Italian crapwagon

Petr, you are driving Mrs. Sophia Loren, please treat her as a lady of that class should be treated!

Petr-does it have the same spec engine as the factory Lancias?

You have to find an optimal and safe tape/boost setup for that car-but it can be fast...but you have to drive it like you stole it...to stay with the Porsches...

If driven well the De Cadenet is likely a screamer. Look at its engine power. It is absolutely undriveable for me though.

To be honest, I haven't really checked how quick the 717C is. I am guessing it lives from corners and not long straights.

But as a Mazda race car lover, there was no way around it this time

Well, if it means that Sophia Loren is kind of tail heavy and very difficult to handle, then i agree No, i don't want to be impolite

I just did a few laps, it's quite difficult. While Porsche does everything right, Lancia is, well, exactly the opposite. Most notably much longer braking distances, very sharp turbo boost and snap oversteer at higher speeds. My target is just one - to finish those races.

Just one question: Do the softs last for the whole stint?

Yes they should do Petr

I drove Mrs. Loren in 3hrs Sebring test race. Mr. Timo and I were supposed to be a team, but it turned out that swap drivers didnt work, and I had to drive the whole race.... it was exhausting, and yes, she is heavy to handle, but boy, she's a beauty... I suggest MEDIUM tyres, those turned out more "stable" (but do make a test) and I remember softening rear roll bar, made it more stable under acceleration... unfortunately I dont have that setup any more to send you ...

Hmmm...I may server snipe a bit also but the primary path will be the red leaf blower engined car :-)

Just tested Hubert's car. Completely different expierience from last years Hockenheim. Could easily manage a 1:37,771 with full tanks, thats not so far away from Pascals time.

Is Petr's time for real? 1:30,052 with C Junior?  

Have fun all together!

Not sure, but he isn't in the Alba for the season

EDIT: Or he is using the 1984 Jolly Club Lancia by mistake.

Guys, i have a Group C Lancia LC2, no worries

Sorted.......found engine number ingame..(as I suspected I would)

Did the admins authorize some pilot to done some prequalif times with a non assigned cars ??
does it not  taint the prequalif grid ?

It will be funny to see only some porsche CK5 in the hotlaps

The mod does not always register the correct team in the hotlaps.

ok Jason
Thx for the answer

There is no rule saying you cannot drive someone else's car for testing in this series.

The only time I recall a restriction on this with HSO was the 65 F1 when pre qualifying times determined who got the 4x hot seat cars.

Current “sniping” list:

Florkin #1 Porsche 956
Placais #4 Lancia LC2
Berenguer #5 Lancia LC2
Mello #11 Porsche 956
Lengyel #41 EMKA C83
Simmons #42 Porsche CK5
---------------------------
Weber  #64 Sthermo
Daniel #68 Lola-Mazda
Wattman #65 De Cadenet


Frederiksson, Fitch and Le Phive have not vocally confirmed but have been active in this thread.

Think I will start testing in a Lancia...I'm sure Yves will make it.

Je confirme ma participation
