out for a epic battle for podium with Richard

I think Silverstone is really flat, i discovered no bumps. The high curbs are good anti-cuts, should be one of the best races this season for the Leyton-House.

I just realised won't be home before 9 pm on Sunday so the #19 Benetton is available. I was looking forward to using the Ford power on the straights, I'll have to wait for Hockenheim.

Well...

Just like... once in a lifetime, can't I once drive a Benetton?

Why you never take a full time ride?

Phew, that might be a bit hard to explain... several things to take into account for me here:

1. This year, I am putting more focus onto WEC and CART. WEC because it's endurance races where I usually do best(and love long races where you need to show consistency, reliability and stamina). CART because it's HSO's very first season with it so I wanted to be part of the full-time drivers from the start and take part in all races without facing the danger to miss one(As I am doing very okay right now, I guess I decided right).

2. Back in 2013 as we know, we already had a F1 1991 season. I did the full season alongside Greg and we(mostly thanks to Greg) became the Constructors Champions.

This year, I decided to have a challenge and try to "master" as many cars as possible as a "one-off driver"(Well, more like a "seven-off" driver now). This might sound silly to most people here, but I really like having a go with various cars and see how I get on.

Also, this gave one more person the chance to get a full-time ride, wasn't that cool?

It's probably a bit confusing when one driver seems to be everywhere, but I've been enjoying it quite a lot so far.

I only messed up the last time when driving the Ligier as I was on for a Top 10, then stuffed it into the wall in a moment of losing concentration and had to "tortoise" to the end of the race. But this shows I want to finish all races in whatever car I am racing with


Also, this means my wednesday, saturday and sunday evenings at those dates stay more or less free until I decide to pick a free car and race, so I wouldn't waste it if I suddenly had to miss like 3 races in a row, for whatever reason.

I might get back on becoming a full-time driver, but for now, I enjoy playing the "Super-Sub"(not always Super, had to pay Ligier for the broken rear wing) in this series


@Jason: Thank you! I hope this might spice the sunday night up a bit, but hopefully not by stuffing it again("Now that he is the "Super-Sub" himself indeed, he crashes! Oh the irony!")

Welcome to suffer with this car.

I've already tried to qualify the car in interlagos and it's a complete pig. Probabily i'll be trying the whole season, because of my lack of setup knowledge (this really make a big difference in this mod?)

A propósito, se o sr tiver um set, agradeço

I can send you my setup, but didnt test on the track yet . Nothing special, i think its near the France setup (mostly from HSO page) with minor tweaks.
In general traction out of corners is important and set the car and yourself to perfect braking and be ready for sudden reactions from the car. Hope to have a setup until Saturday.

Looking forward to my first race with head tracking

Send me it via PM when you can. Thank you

I've forgert how much I hate that track. Don't understand how to pass all the corner
Not really enjoyable as I've to learn how to brake with the left foot (can't do my toe-shoe thing as usual with my caster).

So I'm totally out of pace on that track. Not even sure I'll be qualify when I saw the hotlap

Hi,
does anybody help me? I cannot joint into the server without mismatch massage "JH25B.HDV or Track config" mismatch. I tried to download the track from this topic again and reinstall it. Also i deleted the HAT file in the LOG folder. But problem is still there? The true is that today i also tried to install the silverstone track from 2013 season. I know that two version is the problem so i deleted it and also the HAT file. Withou any effECT.

Everything has been resolved. I forgot to install damage patch.

Now, I didn't say that, but have seen how he strolls the paddock lately, asking for a ride?

I have a crazy busy week with work so no time to prepare or make qualifying. So if someone is crazy enough to try and Q the footwork it is available.

Eis o meu set Claudio Augusto

I will attempt to qualify the #9 Footwork

I have no feeling at all with my car I don't understand what's happening in it. It's just slipping in any corner...sometimes the front get loose...sometimes it's the rear
Sometimes the brakes are locking....sometimes not.

More than ever I hate Silverstone, one of the biggest piece of junk ever built (with Hockenheim, Magny Cours and Monza)
