A little friendly advice. If you use the Harrier, use the SPA upgrade in the upgrades menu.

You can have a 956, but not a works car.

That's a shame. Ok so please nr 12. But for me and Honza Mild (not Karel )

Sorry to be a bother but can I jump ship from the #55 De Cadent to the #64 Sthemo?

Of course.

Anyone wanna bet a fiver on the two remaining works cars to stay free? I thought Martin and Honza might be fine, they'd still have to battle the fuel consumption either way.

People that are allowed to drive a works car need to have: Vadim Kogay levels of inconsistency, Pastor Maldonado levels of accident proneness and Chris Amon levels of bad luck


Does the HP&Torque(through turbo boost settings I guess?) difference between works and private cars really matter that much? Have I missed some other, big difference between the two?

If so, do tell me. Maybe I am stupid and missed something incredibly obvious that make the works cars invincible


Some days earlier, I was actually thinking about Wilks' challenge(as in picking a turbo car and making the fuel mileage while staying decently consistent and fast) and picking a Lancia, but they're all gone by now, so I can't answer Richard's challenge anymore.

Unless I'd go looking around if someone quite a bit slower(how can I word this nicely when it still sounds kind of mean?) that wanted to drive a private 956?

I was actually gonna use you two as an example that not so slow drivers can drive the works cars and Martin and Honza seemed okay for one.

But then, people will tell me: Yeah sure, Alberto drives a Penske in CART '88, of course he looks fast!


If we want to pick a category for you Alberto, how about Amon?


I see Sabre would drive a works car, but I can't help him since I am classed "endurance alien"


Btw: People driving the works cars should pick the discs hidding the rims spokes. I feel like they don't look nice *whistles*

Yeah go ahead try to fix it now

Nah, doesn't matter what I'd write initially. Someone will find a way to turn it against me

The rule states no fast/quick driver can drive a works 956, Martin winning Long Beach in CART, beating Grant, David, Austin, Thiago would constitute him as being a fast driver would you not agree?
Forget who the second driver is, if you are deemed a fast driver, you ain't getting a works car. Regardless of who you are paired with.

Which was the only race he got to finish, out of the 4 entered(sorry Martin, just looking at stats, mine are worse for CART!).

Don't make me remenber that race, because if we only look at that one, I clumsily crashed into the tyre barrier on fresh tyres at the end of the East Seaside Way

I think I actually messed up Grant's, David's and Thiago's strategies when I brought out the yellow

I'd still like to reverse that one, but it shows even the fast guys have their days.

Request #16 John Fitzpatrick Racing Porsche 956.

David Jaques
David Miller
David Sabre

Triple D Racing.

Thank you to the other teams that kindly offered me a drive, joining this team adds another car to the total.

Wow nice!
