Both cars on row 4? Not bad, although the way things have been going this season, chances are neither car will make it past lap 5.

To a further step, medium reliability and small grip for Tyrrell

Post by **DemocalypseNow** » 21 Dec 2012, 22:11

This is simply unacceptable. Both Ferraris started ahead of Pryce yet finished behind, and it would have been 1-2 to McLaren if Hunt hadn't thrown it off the road with three laps to go. STEP IT UP GUYS, this isn't good enough.

Large Grip & Small Top Speed for Ferrari.

Àhh....this season is a nightmare for Brabham! Medium top speed and small reliability for Brabham please, possibly the last upgrades of the year.

Medium speed and reliability for Renault, please

Medium grip and reliability for Wolf.

SeedStriker · Post by **SeedStriker** » 22 Dec 2012, 15:51

Gunnar and Divina making more km pleases me. We just need a little bit of luck to improve.
Parnelli will not make any updates for now. We'll concentrate on saving money (for now) thinking more of next season.

Brabham will run just one car for the rest of the season, alternating Reggazzoni and Petersen in the car. Petersen will be in the car first, and we'd like a small top speed upgrade. /whyiseverythingfallingapart

pycku · Post by **pycku** » 24 Dec 2012, 12:43

Well, finally Keke Rosberg showed his talent. The bad thing is that we don't have the car to qualify for races anymore, so it will be a hard end of the season.
For non-European races, we will run only one car with Rosberg in it.

Are you still going to run the additional car for Pironi at Monza?

Forgot about that! Yes, we are.

If Pironi is aching for some race action, he can alternate with Gunnar until the rest of the season except Monza. Divina has been more consistant in the car, and I want to see what a more stablished driver can do.

Does this mean that you run Pironi at round 13, 15 and 17?

For now. If Pironi is satisfied with the car and wants more, he's welcome to bring some cashflow for the remainder rounds of the season. In which case, Divina and Gunnar will have to share the other car.

How much money would Maki save by skipping the US & Canadian rounds?

Nessafox · Post by **Nessafox** » 29 Dec 2012, 21:29

As i reminded, i can only run 3 cars in 3 races, meaning that i will have to scrap one of the drivers for USA or Canada, to make things realistic, i will only bring 2 cars to both races.
So USA will have Henton-Hoshino and Canada Edwards-Hasemi. Japan will still have Henton-Hasemi-Hoshino so nothing changes for that race.
