Round 6 - British Grand Prix [July 8th]

After getting the boot from Ken and a last minute entry with CMG Racing at Paul Ricard and showing some decent driving, I approached Alan Rees of the March works team and, amazingly, he was impressed with my drive with the CMG team and offered me a drive with the words team.

I just hope I'll be able to put up some decent preformances, especially as it's Ronnies old car, for the team from this point onwards

Shall be around for this one

Tyrrel #10,


But I need some help because I haven't notion to how this car works to make adjustment. To learn and study how the car work

Have you tried the car? It’s a massive handful and needs to be driven a certain way.

You can have it but the McLaren may be a safer car to drive. Just let me know your final choice.

Ok, I would test the McLaren and tell you my choice later

Many THX to David Jaques and Mich Chapman for their help , they pointed me to right direction on Silverstone

with their help my time go down from 1:22 to 1:20.2xx

Just tried the Tyrrell myself and I am 2s off your time on like 20 litres.

Looks like I am not doing it justice. Or finding that certain way to drive it. Probably my setup ineptness has something to do with it

Full fuel I'm 4 seconds behind... 1,24, almost 23. Right way to follow, I think.

#32 Still available?

After tested McLaren #32 and Tyrrel, I prefer Tyrrell, because I finded a stable setup, is not fast yet, but it's good on turns and I can brake without losing the stability of the car. I think this is important during the race.

Okay you get the Tyrrell. 

Bruno Chacon has until 20:00 CET tomorrow to announce his presence or he loses his car for this race.

Thought with a few more laps under the belt I'd definitely see improvements.

Still stuck at 1:21.8, doesn't look like I've understood the track yet.

Seems like even Tyrrell wouldn't have made a difference so far, although one's at the top of the standings right now

I will take the #32 then.

Tks

Bruno’s car (March 701) is now free for this race.

It will be assigned on a first come first serve basis.

21.0 while being on the limit with 15 litres.

I'd love to see a replay of Richard's 1:19 lap so I can learn from it as I am currently unsure where to gain the time


EDIT: 20.7, incredibly hard to get right. Also, my brake pedal might be too sensitive as light touch already causes braking it seems.

Pas certain de prendre le départ ce soir !!!


On verra mon timming
