Round 16 - Montréal (Nov 27th)

Well, maybe one of my best races this season, especialy the qulification best position ever, this time i did good setup enabling me touching curbs with one tyre on them in turning in so i can drive beter and faster these left right turns

the start was good now, remained 6th place and for a while got to 5th but then i dont know what happenet in comparision to test before the race the, laps wasn't so quick (my best time in race was 1s slower) , during race i lost some positions but got them back as some racers lost their race, did some mistakes which nearly cost my race but i did some goog saves when car start to make 180 spin and luckily awoided crash to wall. on 2nd half of race i struglet a little, hen it looked that i shortened distance to 5th place, overheted tyres a litle or lapped cars cost me some 2 - 3 secs so the distance growed later i shortened the distance again but tyres give up so last laps was hard to stay o track, some 7 laps from end I was so tyredthat i forgot brake to 3rd turn so went on gras but didn hit anythig at the finish line i was so happy that there is end of the race, and was happy for final 1 point at all


many thank to all who organised this season and to all making livestream, especialy the last one where i am very often

Well, congratulations to Greg for his well deserved championship title.
Thank you to Jonathan Acerclinth for sending me a helping setup, which allowed me to drive the car more safely.
Many thanks to HSO for organizing so brilliantly this series, and for allowing me to join, despite my low performance. I hope, and I'll strive, to do it better in 2017 with F1 1991 mod. Thank you all for your welcome at HSO.

Thanks HSO for that great championship!

Great coverage again.

At the end i have only one question: why didn't Mick chose to drive a Lotus??? Chapman in his own car

Bravo Greg pour ce championnat survolé haut la main.
Grats to all drivers and thx for your participation all along the year.
See you next year for the coverage.

Mon meilleur championnat depuis que je suis chez HSO.Honorable 2ème place a 60 ans. Un tous grand merçi a l'organisation,la retransmission en direct .A toi Didier,mon équipier d'avoir partager nos réglages,avec cette fantastique Lotus.Bravo a toi,Greg grand pilote.

I'd like to thank everyone for participating in the F1 78 championship.  For myself, it wasn't a huge success, but I did enjoy scoring a couple of top tens in one of my favorite cars, the BT46.  Congrats to Greg on a well-driven series, and Gérard on fighting for the championship right to the end.  I am sure we will see many more epic battles in the F1 91 series next year.

Un grand merci pour l'organisation de ce championnat qui m'aura amusé toute l'année, bien que ma deuxième partie de saison ne fut pas très réussie. Certaines courses ont été parmi mes meilleures chez HSO dans la catégorie des monoplaces.

La grille est restée bien remplie toute l'année c'était sympa, même si cela ne facilitait pas la réalisation des temps qualifs parfois, mais c'est le jeux. J'ai transpiré plusieurs fois devant mon écran mais j'ai pris beaucoup de plaisir en votre compagnie à tous, ceux que j'ai pu suivre et ceux que je ne voyais jamais ou très furtivement (comme Greg le vainqueur incontesté, félicitations!).

Merci à tous et merci HSO pour l'organisation et les "live" commentés vraiment extraordinaire

Seriously though the admin deserve a big pat on the back, a lot of time and effort must go into this so we can race on a regular basis.

Thanks guys Ray.

Comme d'habitude, Ray résume parfaitement ma pensée sur ce championnat qui vient de se terminer, et sur ceux à venir.

Bravo à tous les participants.

premierement merci a HSO et aux organisateurs de ce championnat .

bravo également à l equipe du live  ( Ben aux manettes , Alberto , Ray et d autres aux commentaires ) superbe job de votre part , j espere avoir contribué au fait de vous avoir proposer aux commentaires , de belles bagarres et manoeuvres en piste ...

concernant cette derniere course , il etait inconcevable pour moi de ne pas remporter le titre  constructeur pour le team Shadow racing .  donc je me suis craché dans les mains,  pour essayer d etre intraitable lors de cette derniere course .

Pole et  victoire , le contrat est donc rempli pour mon team,  avec le championnat pilote et constructeur ramené à la maison

merci à tous les pilotes pour leur participation a ce championnat et de maniere quasiment générale par leur comportement exemplaire en piste , donc bravo à tous

quand à toi Vincent , content d avoir pu t apprendre des choses , et avoir participer à l amélioration de tes performances tout au long de la saison , et dieu sait que l on partait de loin ...

à force d appliquer les conseils , les techniques , et d utiliser mes sets , tu es passé de 4 s au tour en debut de champ , à entre 1.5s et 2s au tour donc la progression est bonne , mais bon comme on dit c est les derniers dixiemes qui sont les plus dur a allé chercher , donc le boulot continu


grats all , see ya

Well done Greg, great season

And a weight penalty.

Lovely.

Why not AGS though? Vive la France!

I just watched the broadcast. As always, you did a brilliant job and i almost look forward to crash out in F1 1991 to watch the rest of race as a spectator

Two things:

1) I really don't care that we're running on outdated rFactor. Yes, there might be more hardcore sims (and i admit that i like Assetto Corsa a lot), but it's all about the community, the excitement and enthusiasm of everybody involved. I felt exactly the same about EOLC ( www.eolc.de ) - one of the very best GPL leagues, in many ways similar to HSO. I'm convinced that fans of vintage racing are... simply different. Somehow there's more respect to history, to the real drivers and engineers. Last but not least, respect to each other at the track. It might be due to lack of runoff areas und general unforgiveness of most curcuits. Maybe because we realize that a crash would cripple or kill our opponent in real life. I don't know what it is, but it certainly makes us behave differently from a common online modern racers, you just don't see such stupid behavior here  Back to the topic - regardless of what HSO decides to use as the platform, i'll follow you, that's for sure

2) Regarding simracer's abilities in real life. In my opinion, as long as we would run cars without downforce, many people would be up to speed very quickly. Racing line is no issue, nor is the power output. What is a big problem (at least from my point of view) is physical condition. Anytime i do Go-Karting, i'm immediately fast and consistent (max 0.5s difference on 30-40s tracks). But i can't hang on for too long, those 10mins stints are just enough. My longest stint ever lasted 25 minutes. Thankfully, it was not a garage track surrounded by tyres and concrete pillars, but a proper track with grass around. After some 20 minutes i flew off the fastest 45mph corner three times in a row (a rough ride ) i just gave up. I had no strength left in my arms, back and neck. Just my two cents to this topic
