1971 FIA Formula One World Championship - Entry List

...waiting for decision   , I played to made my prediction

I guessed 24 out of 28

Drivers I didn't expect   was:

David Jaques (I didn't see his request) no discussion about him
Jason Fitch and Brian Janik I though they maybe out not for long
Jari maybe out but I can understand Richard evaluations about him

Drivers I expect   was:

Dylan, Austin (so fast in test), Karel and Timo (but for him I hope you'll find a place like commentator )

Congrats to all in the starting grid. The broadcasts should be awesome.
Hoping for a one-off

I don't know AMS few months ago, great decision bid on it
congratulation all the technical admin (Alberto, David ...) but now Virtua LM GTPC

Do we have a competing TV network now?

Thank you for your trust in me
I think that admins choice at least in my case (which I can somehow evaluate) was logical. I was not able to make full season ride at least last 3 years and if I make a start I was not so succesful as real live prevents me from having proper training.
No we somehow learn how to live with real issue we have, so I hope I will be able to step back a little bit more and show that I am able to prepare for a race (if I get a chance with one-off cars).
No matter that, HSO for me is still the best and I will follow the season and also brodcats every time I have a free sunday evening

I haven't sold the rights to them Jason, so no we don't 

If you want to discuss details contact my lawyer. He is the best HSO has to offer.

In all seriousness, we cannot clog up the server with a whole bunch of spectators.  So I think we will need to limit the broadcast to the official HSO one, and that's it.

We will all be impatiently waiting for one offs lol. Everyone will be frantically typing car numbers as soon as Richard hits that button

Thiago, car selection has already been completed.
Please refer to the rules section.

Dammit, forgot about the date. Anyway, there are a lot of drivers who runs in the league already, so would be very difficult to get a ride.
I will stay around then, we never knows when there will be an available car for an specific weekend.

Thanks!

Thiago

Experience shows that real life tends to get in the way and in some races there are available full time cars.

too many people for this champ, i understeand why i not get a car..
how will be the selection of the non full season cars???

We assign those on a first come first serve basis.

Since I can't get an answer to the PM I sent, I will ask the question here.
Can you please explain to me the in better detail the criteria for driver selection. I would like to know so maybe I can increse my chances of getting a ride next time. I'm sure it all make sense to people that have been around a while but as a new guy I don't fully understand the criteia for ride sellection. Can someone please explain from a new guy perspective. Thanks.

There's no concrete criteria to say. If you want to increase your chances of making a series best thing to do is practice on the server, try to get some one off rides and show you want to be a participant at HSO. That's about the most you can do to increase your chances.

Your PM got through and was talked about in the admin forum, you should be getting a reply. Sorry for the delay, we have been busy as hell with the launching of the new series and all the work that is going on behind scenes.

Will there be one-off drives for races in which there were none in the real life 1971 season - like Montjuic? Or is the field capped to 28 entrants for those races?

Montjuic only had 22 starters.

Kyalami only had 25 but to my understanding 30 cars are attempting to qualify tomorrow, and I believe 28 are taking the start. My question was if extra rides are available in races where only full-time entrants attempted to qualify - like Montjuic - or if people out of full-time rides have to rely only on non-shows.

Richard Coxon, series admin, can answer this question.

We have yet to decide how many starters will be allowed at Montjuich. But there will be no extra one off cars unless someone who has a car from the entry list declares their absence. That car would then be made for one off drivers.

Thanks Richard.

Glad HSO still running strong with such a nice mod and really historic content. Sadly for me real life still prevents me to commit to a full season, but will watch the broadcast today and whenever possible. Good luck to you all and have a fun race.

Hi all,

I had a small question regarding the one-offs for the coming races. Just so that I understand correctly.

The authentic one-offs, i.e. extre cars that only appeared at certain races such as e.g. the John Love cars at Kya, will be listed in the thread announcing the race. The first to post and ask for a car following the race thread will get the one-offs available.

As to the cars that fall free as a result of absence of the regular drivers:

- either the drivers concerned do not confirm before 7.00 pm on the Saturday before the race. The not confirmed cars will then be listed in the race thread and, again, its first come first served for those cars.
- either one of the regular drivers indicates early, e.g. already on the Wednesday prior to the race, that he will not participate. In such case, will those cars also be included in the aforementioned list posted on Saturday prior to the race. Or can those cars immediately be requested as of the regular driver indicating that he will not race? In the latter case, it would again be first come first served, I guess?

Sorry for the pettifogging over this. It's just that last night's Kya race has, let's say, sharpened the appetite

Timo

The 7:00pm Saturday rule is enforced if said person posts nothing, we will then take it from them and make it a one off for that race, first come first serve.

If a driver says he is absent on a Wednesday, that car is instantly made available for one off and it can be asked for straight away. Again, first come, first serve.
