I demand to know who swapped the Climax engine for a Ford one.

Race 1 at Symmons Plains saw probably the biggest crash in touring car racing in Australia for nearly 50 years, Rick Kelly and Coulthard tangled at turn 3, and everyone backed up behind them. Tander then got turned in front of the field and basically the entire back half of the field got caught up. ...

simonracer

Well DW Racing will just go for the Coventry Climax FMWV. I'm glad we didn't end up with a new chassis since we'd have probably ended up running out of money after about 5 races.

Is that for the BT20 or the BT24? I would prefer if I could get the BT24, the reason I asked about the BT20 was in case you weren't willing to sell the BT24 to me for 75 grand. I hope I didn't confuse you there.

FantometteBR wrote:Minimum price is 75,000

Would it be OK if I obtained one for that price? Alternately, if you're willing to sell one of the BT20s I would be OK with getting one of those for up to that price, I don't really want to be spending any more considering I only have 100,000 to begin with.

simonracer

Would it be possible to have the Brabham-Climax 2.8 that Bob ran through 1966 and up until his death in 1967? Surely it should be worthy of being at least tier 1, considering he was actually able to out qualify some Cooper-Maseratis and H16 BRMs in early 67. I ask this as DW Racing does not have muc...

simonracer

I'll take DW Racing if that's OK.

simonracer

If it's possible to run a privateer entry in this then I wouldn't mind doing that.

simonracer

So Simona was 14th, 2 laps down, the winner of the lapped class. Was this entirely expected, or could she have done better? I'm not sure she could have done much better, the car may not have been that great and she's only run at Bathurst once before, and Renee Gracie is also not a particularly exce...

simonracer

Bathurst has just ended and it was rather dramatic (and will become quite controversial.)

simonracer

Well this should be fun... Driver: Horst Ulbricht Car: Trabant Number: 89 Livery: the colours of the DDR flag with "Umkippen Rennen" and the car numbers spray painted on the side in a really amateurish way, kind of like this http://chriscrawfordphoto.com/cw4/images/product_full/win-this-ca...

And now Volvo will be gone at the end of the season.

The thing that truly deserves a 'facedesk' (not to say that implementing a chase into the lower series doesn't) is that they are now introducing a "caution clock" for the Truck Series. Meaning that if 20 minutes go by in a race and a caution hasn't appeared, a caution will be thrown withou...

simonracer

Sunbeam will also go balanced for the French Grand Prix.

simonracer

And there's already been a serious accident. A car went off the road and hit 4 spectators on the prologue stage, and they've all been taken to the hospital.

Bike: #147 Jose Julian Kozac (ARG) - Yamaha. In his first appearance in the Dakar. Quad: #286 Enrique Alonso (PER) - Can-am. Like his Formula 1 namesake, 2015 (his debut in the Dakar) was a bit of a disaster. He was forced to withdraw for a most rejectful reason - his support crew forgot about him a...

simonracer

My god Mostert had a bad one in qualifying for the 1000, the car almost went over the wall going into Forrest's Elbow. He has a broken upper left leg and wrist. And 5 marshalls have been injured, one seriously although fortunately his injuries are not life threatening.

simonracer

That was a hell of a race for us. We'll repair the damaged engine and enter with the exact same combinations at France.

simonracer

So this guy is making his Cup debut for Joe Falk this weekend.

That is reject gold right there.

simonracer

I see what you did there.

simonracer

We might as well repair the second engine. And confirming the entries (I've decided to change it up slightly:) Henry Segrave - chassis 1, engine 4 (because I can) Kenelm Lee Guiness - chassis 1, engine 2 Albert Divo - chassis 1, engine 3 One chassis with three drivers and three engines? Interesting...

And confirming the entries (I've decided to change it up slightly:)
Henry Segrave - chassis 1, engine 4 (because I can)
Kenelm Lee Guiness - chassis 1, engine 2
Albert Divo - chassis 1, engine 3

simonracer

Sunbeam will enter Spa with the same lineup. The only difference will be that Kenelm Lee Guiness's car will have engine 4 in it instead of engine 2 (unless it doesn't cost anything to repair engines or cars, in which case use the second engine.)

simonracer

Team Name: HURT Racing
Engine 1st Preference: Holden
Engine 2nd Preference: Volvo
Driver #1: Sam Pritchard (NZL, #47)
Team status: Privateer
Sponsors: some fictional ones (if OK)
Livery idea: I'll do the livery myself

simonracer

Now that was a good result.

Can I enter Pritchard for the rest of the season?

simonracer

Why not run the damn thing as a non-canon series? Who cares whether it's canon or not, it's a not completely serious series set during the 90s for god's sakes.

simonracer

That was even sillier then I thought it would be. Not that that's a bad thing.

simonracer

The account request page is still broken.

Speaking of that, can someone please approve my account. Thank you in advance.

Targa Florio entry:

Sunbeam
Sunbeam 23 chassis 1/Sunbeam 23 engine 1 - Henry Segrave
Sunbeam 23 chassis 2/Sunbeam 23 engine 2 - Kenelm Lee Guiness
Sunbeam 23 chassis 3/Sunbeam 23 engine 3 - Albert Divo

simonracer

Both the Sunbeam engine and chassis will be known as the 23.

simonracer

Sunbeam will design and build 4 Tier 1 chassis and engines. If privateers pay us 45000 we'll build them a Tier 1 engine and chassis too. We'd like to sign 3 real drivers as main drivers, plus a second driver from the list of drivers for car 3 as a reserve driver if possible. Car 1 drivers Henry Segr...

simonracer

Since FMecha now has two entries, I'm presuming that I can make a second entry, so here goes (again.)

Looking at this, they didn't run under the same regulations in actuality, at least in 1925 (see the section on the Indy 500): http://www.kolumbus.fi/leif.snellman/gp25a.htm But that doesn't really matter, because we can always have the regulations the same in this. Two questions: 1. How is the perfo...

That was a good race.

Would anyone be interested in a one-off revival of the Rejectful Eastern European Cars series? You know, the series with the rolling Trabants? My idea was basically to have three races (over either a single weekend or two weekends), with something like two 15 minute races and an final enduro race he...
