ROUND 16 - AUSTRALIA I was quite incensed all weekend after the Japan incident and all my thoughts were about the lost opportunity at Suzuka and allowing me a chance to be close enough to Prost to give him a lesson... I found the correct setup towards the end of saturday qualifying and scored a lap ...

So, here we go with the review of the last 3 races of the 1988 season!!! It´s been an exciting end, but things don´t always finish the way they start... read on to discover it! ROUND 14 - SPAIN Q - The car was pretty easy to setup and the team decided to use the same setup as in Hungary. Given the p...

I´ll implement this for 1989 season, if desired!

grandprix2.de and gprix2.com are the resources. However, I modify the existing modes -performance, damage and other files- to make the performances as close to reality as possible.

1988 - ROUND 12 - ITALY Quali Not much to tell about the qualifying. Just spent the time trying to improve my times with a lowest-downforce setup. In the end Nannini went slightly faster than me, which makes a tie in quali this year between both. 1. Senna -- 1.22.211 2. Prost -- 1.22.581 3. Berger -...

I used to have a minichamps Schiatarella´s 95 Simtek, but for some odd reason I can´t find it.

1988 - ROUND 10 - HUNGARY Quali; Obviously, chances of repeating what I did last year (pole) were non-existent so everything I could do was to concentrate on beating Nannini, something I couldn´t achieve as well... Not a very inspiring performance. There were some surprises though; Senna didn´t find...

Who´s HWNSNBM? An explanation is needed, QUICK!!! HWNSNBM is THE GOD, the biggest divinity ever conceived. He began promulgating his doctrines from his Minardi in 2004 in spite of being a divinity during all his previous life. He blesses everyone, he loves everyone, as long as they don't pronounce ...

1988 - ROUND 8 - G.BRITAIN I say it every year: It´s really nice to be back home! I thought I had no chance of being somewhere close to the points, but the fact is that the car had an extraordinary feeling this weekend and I became familiarised very quickly. The first day I was struggling a little b...

By the way; Chris Dagnall is willing to answer questions from his fans (if any!!!) Yes I have one, where can I buy merchandise from the Chris Dagnall collection? I'd really like one of these please... At the moment, as far as I know, official Benetton merchandise can only be bought during Grand Pri...

ROUND 7 - FRANCE The french GP is where everything started to go well in 1987 and that´s why I aprecciate it a lot. I knew this year would be harder but that doesn´t make it less special to me! Qualifying was as hard as expected and the layout of the track remarked the lack of power of the Ford engi...

1988 - ROUND 6 - AMERICAN GP I had a hard time setting up the car, and, adding traffic to that, friday was a disaster: I finished 25th and really close to be out of the race!!

1988 - ROUND 5 - CANADA Montreal has improved a lot with the new pits location from 1986! It also lacks those killer kerbs, although they still are a bit high!

Aerond, I've got to tell you that I absolutely love reading your career. In fact it makes me want to play GP2 (I have never played it), but reading how hard is to install it I guess I'll skip that... Is not that hard! It just is it doesn´t run on moden OS, so you have to find the alternative. If yo...

How do you decided to get involved in Motorsport? Would you imagine the team would last for so many years in Formula 1? What were the feelings when the team was sold to Paul Stoddart? Were there any other chances to save the team? Who is the best driver you ever had? What was the best moment and the...

ROUND 3 - MONACO Qualifying Although the car was better in Monaco, I couldn´t take anything from it (even though slower tracks are supposed to be better for the Benetton!!). I was 18th in first qualifying and couldn´t beat my time on second, so a disappointing 19th place is all I got. I had higher h...

1988 - ROUND 2 - SAN MARINO Qualifying Tu put it simple: It was a nightmare.

Result: 24th in the grid and got away...

Tbh, circuits like the nordschleife is the type of tracks that F1 miss atm. Yeah, but apparently is too dangerous. Maybe a Nordschleife recreation of only 6km? To be honest, if any rich oil state wants to join F1, they should have to build the Nordschleife in all its glory, but about two lanes wide...

Yeah! I hope that too! The bad thing about the atmospheric Ford is that it´s far slower than Honda´s, Ferrari and Megatron engines... The loss of power compared to 1987 turbo Ford is really big!!

For the 1988 season: I´m staying in Benetton (with Williams signing Patrese, Lotus signing Piquet and Mclaren signing Senna it was logical to keep my position in Benetton, I haven´t done enough to get a seat in a "top of the pops" team). Nannini will be my team-mate Boutsen will drive for ...
