2023 Gold Star - Entry List [1956 series]

#54 Aston-Martin or any other Kangaroo Stable Aston-Martin
#16 Aston-Martin
#46 Jaguar C type (The grid would look nice with a spot of yellow.)

Chucking my previous choices in the bin. Here's a new list.

1: #2 (or #1)
2: #60 (or any Porsche)
3: #64 (or any death rocket... err I mean Lancia)

Car Selection for the Dee Family:

Ideally Jon & I would like to in the same team for this season as a not so dynamic driver duo, are choices would be:

#40 Rosier (Tom), #41 Rosier (Jon) or another Maserati team if unavailable
#9 Jaguar D Types (Tom), #10 Jaguar (Jon) or possibly Ecurie Ecosse D Types if they are changed  
#59 Sonauto Porsche (Tom), #60 Porsche (Jon) Works if Sonauto is unavailable

After a heated argument with 'Le Sorcerier', Franek Godrecki was seen booking train tickets from Paris straight to Milan, supposedly for a few business meetings as sourced by our reporters.
Seems like he hsa planned quite a roadtrip, heading off to Turin to have a chat with the talented engineers running the #62 Scuderia Lancia machine. After the 1955 season the seat of the Italian hot-rod has been freed, some say that N. Hillebrand hit a nerve with the team managment by sticking to his unconventional sleep schedule, napping in the pits constantly. After spending a few days in sunny Turin, next he is heading off into the beautiful region of Emilia-Romagna, visiting Modena. One can only speculate who is he supposed to meet there, but some say that Maserati might be interested in signing up a driver that is suited to drive their cornering focused #25 Officine Alfieri Maserati steed to its full potential. Our reporters will try to give you any updates in case a secret meeting with the #7 Scuderia Ferrari 's management takes place...

I can confirm this is a family decision!

Kid in a sweet shop syndrome again. Mixed in with a bit of scheduling and skill issue reality.

My first choice would be Peter Whitehead's D-Type. However, I know the D-Types are a popular choice this year and it looks like the 3l+ championship could be pretty exciting and balanced if all the quick drivers get their first choice. I need an awful lot of practice at each track to get to a reasonable pace. On top of that, I don't know if I'm going to get lucky again with my calendar, so am likely to miss a couple of races again.

So, I'd hate for a perfectly good Jag to go wasted.

Would it be possible to sort of role-play as Ninian Sanderson in the C-Type #44 Ecurie Ecosse (or any Ecurie Ecosse) with the chance to deputise for the Jaguar works team if one of their D-Type drivers is unavailable for a race?

I realise that this may not be possible and no problem if it isn't.

My backup plan is:

C-Type (#46 Ecurie Francorchamps or #44 Ecurie Ecosse) or Ferrari #40 Ecurie Rosier (if you can't be quick, be pretty )

Updated preference:

58 Gilby / 57 Monte Carlo / 41 Ecurie Rosier

Hullo,

Having some issues with installing the new version of the mod. Installed the 1.55v over the original 1.3 but I get a message I can't join the server because of missing content. Any ideas?

Cheers

Hi Rob,

If you competed at the HRRC Longford event, you may have the HRRC version of Longford installed (v1.10 I think). I would recommend uninstalling that, then unsubscribe then resubscribe to Longford on Steam Workshop to get the correct v1.0 version.

I’d like to make a change of livery to the #17 Aston Martin, if it’s not too much of a bother.

Done Jim, next time though it will cost you money 

Right, mate. Put it towards the trophy I’ll never win.

I'd like to take #6 Ferrari, thank you.

#39 please

Well, this sucks. My new schedule unfortunately doesn't work with HSO as it stands. My days off change between weeks. One week will be Monday-Tuesday, the other will be the weekend, and it goes back and forth. Unfortunately, my weekends off are the off-weekends for HSO. So... effectively immediately, I'd like to rescind my seat in the #9 D-Type. I don't know when I'll be able to compete next, I need this job if I want any chance of going to Uni next year so I'm doing everything I can to keep it.

As sad as it is you're not able to race with us atm, it's good to see how focused you are on the Uni thing.
Looking forward to having you back on the grid once your schedule allows it. In the meantime hope to see you around on the discord anyway

Thanks for letting us know mate. Hopefully next year we will have something for you to race in, regardless of your schedule.

Can I reserve the #7 Ferrari please?
