What happened to Oscar and Stephane they've dissapeared must be a Tyrell driver thing ...

As no more than 36 points can be scored in each half season (only the 4 best results count), Othmane can only score 43 points this year.

Y a une ptite erreur dans le classement Master Guillaume. Tu as oublié de donner les points pour le GP d'Autriche

très beau tracé pour f1, un vrai plaisir de piloter cette mc laren qui bien que théoriquement moins performante se hisse au niveau des meilleurs"cosworth powered " sur les circuits rapides(je n'ai pas eu de course avec sur tourniquet pour juger de son comportement dans ces conditions).
j'aimerais juste résoudre mon problème de déconnexion pour faire un ou deux bons résultats sur les dernières courses .

I demand Bernie's resignation, I'm sure he was behind this bizarre rule

Impressive win though, what is it going to be next , ensign ? maybe this time I'll have a chance :raclure:

race summary : shit start, watched a brabahm wreck a williams, thank god I lift my foot, I knew something bad was going to happen 8)

then manage to pass kimmo on the chicane, thanks by the way for not playing it hard, and welcome to Renault, I finally have a regular teammate, and don't worry I won't ask you to crash on a wall so that I can win

Anyway the rest of the race was very smooth, managed to get a comfortable advance so that I can safely pit

Grats to all finishers and of course Guillaume for the great performance, but I'm planning to win the TEAM championship unless there is another rule that kills the last races ?

perhaps Turbo engine shouldn't count for the constructors championship

I like that rule

And a fair one. Bernie is a fair man

Yeah I still remember you saying "Damn that was my strategy" after I said "dont try anything stupid at turn 1"

that was actually the first thing that came to my mind after some really bad words, and i thought, no, that can`t be true...

i really don`t know what happened there. i started to brake early as all the others, but my brabham didn`t brake as all the others. i am sure that i was on the brakes the whole time. really strange.

too cold tires maybe:P

So let me cheer you guys up, have been testing the Alfa at Zandvoort and for the first time since race 1 I really felt good with the truck so I would like to share that adrenaline moment with you all. Better viewed in HD

What version is that Tiago? I am pretty sure there should be a huge bump and some kind of a bridge at 1.26. Are we not doing the 79 version? And I don't remeber having seen the chicane, though it was flat out, before 1.26 either.

2.5 version my friend. Don't forget to update your track. It's a lot harder in that fast chicane

Ok cool, thanks. Where do I find this 2.5 version then?

Edit: Nevermind, I found it right where it should be. Logical.

In the schedule topic

But this track might have some bugs, i'll let you know what version we will use.

Damn you are fast... Is there a reason why you are using a track that can be a bit buggy, instead of the original 79 track?

The layout is more accurate, it has the fast chicane in the 2nd sector that doesnt exist in the original version.

Ok cool. Well I am happy with either, the "bridge" was a bit dangerous in the Renault anyway, all 4 wheels off the ground while trying to turn in... I could have made a diamond in my bum if I had sat on a lump of coal.

Well, you'll see the surprise when you pass that chicane for the first time

Cool chicane, very tricky. I think I spotted the surprise, they put the bump there instead Better version, I hope it is bug-free.

Yeah, it's a nice spot for some slides

very nice lap tiago. i`m very impressed!

yesterday, i drove my first laps in zandvoort and it was just horrible. til now, i am really not into this fast bumpy "something". but i hope that i can develop some kind of love for this track in the following practice sessions (and i need a lot of practice)

do you have some setup tips? yesterday, i drove with very smooth suspension settings. What kind of suspension setting do you use or should be used in zandvoort?

You need time for it. It's a very tricky track. But I think it isn't trickier than the Ost, they're both on the same level
