Hesketh need a large speed upgrade.

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 16 Sep 2012, 06:11

Actually, now that we're flush with cash, can we turn the small reliability upgrade to a medium one and trial the Matra engine for Van Lennep?

I don't know the exact positions, but they were both in the first eight.

Tyrell will ask for Medium Topspeed and Medium Grip for Germany plus adding Hans Heyer as third car driver

pasta_maldonado · Post by **pasta_maldonado** » 17 Sep 2012, 20:07

Brabham would like to purchase a medium grip. Also, does the cars performance at the end of this year translate to next year?

UncreativeUsername37 · Post by **UncreativeUsername37** » 17 Sep 2012, 20:24

Medium topspeed and grip for Surtees.

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 17 Sep 2012, 22:01

Medium reliability, small top speed and small grip for Ligier please.

Nessafox · Post by **Nessafox** » 18 Sep 2012, 00:02

Stanley Kojima BRM will do a medium update for grip and topspeed, while BRM wants Brian Henton in the second car in the coming non-asian races (japanese races still go ahead as planned)

Medium grip and top speed please

Now that's more like it! McLaren will have a medium top speed, with a small grip and reliability, please.

Post by **tommykl** » 18 Sep 2012, 13:19

Small topspeed and grip for Williams, please.

Hesketh would like a large grip upgrade.

We would also like to fire the underperforming Guy Edwards and replace him with Patrick Tambay who is currently racing in F2 with Elf Martini.

Samster · Post by **Samster** » 19 Sep 2012, 22:18

Right let's see if we can crawl back from last place. Large grip upgrade and small reliability and top speed for Boro please for the next round.

Nessafox · Post by **Nessafox** » 19 Sep 2012, 22:28

small grip and speed updates for Kojima BRM next race.

It's all the fault of those damn 3-car teams, if else we'd qualify easily for every race. Well it seems i'm battling with Hesketh, Fittipaldi and Boro. I might have an unfair advantage by merging two teams, but i'm voluntarily running the hopeless BRM-engines, which compensates a lot.

SuperAguri · Post by **SuperAguri** » 20 Sep 2012, 00:50

Why do we have three car teams? In 1976 they were generally one offs, with Ferrari and Brabham having two one offs to have a three car team. March were the only team to run four cars but with different sponsors....

I guess this is an alternate version, and there was no 'cap' enforced at three car teams, and not all teams might field a third car (Tyrrell, for example, might only field the extra car for Heyer in Austria and one in the North American races, proabely for Stommelen or Ongais, still don't know)

pi314159 · Post by **pi314159** » 20 Sep 2012, 05:20

I'm going to keep the current rules for 1976, but from 1977 onwards the number of races for the third car will be limited to 3 races per Team and Season.

Small reliability and topspeed once more. These will proabably be Williams' last upgrades.
