Japanese driver Kazuchika Hatanaka is looking for a drive in the championship this season. He only did one round last season, but he took a third place in the B-Final. Albatross would like to offer the #37 to Hatanaka. He seems promising based on his result last season, and also has experience with...

I've no idea what that does to the standings. Happy New Year! I think it means that baker and I tie on 28 points each. I'm not sure how the countback system for this works, but I presume it is for most wins, which in that case means I take the championship with 7 wins to baker's 4. Pretty close fin...

TheFlyingCaterham

Well thanks Alfa.

Anyways, Osella will ise 1 D&T for Downforce and the other for mechanical grip.

TheFlyingCaterham

Perhaps whoever decided to keep the knockout qualifying for Bahrain despite the teams voting against it plus it being unpopular with pretty much everyone?

TheFlyingCaterham

Albatross will continue running the Toyota works team.

Edit: Also we will use the MR2 skin.

Made a circuit in New York, with guess what, the initials NY. I've tried to change the layout up a bit so it's not your standard 'straight, sharp corner, straight sharp corner' esque course that seems like it would be a common occurance when making a circuit based off of a letter. Hopefully you thin...

TheFlyingCaterham

Osella will get 1 D&T for reliability, and 1 for next years car.

By the way what place was Ghinzani in when he retired? Just curious because it seems we might have gotten points had he not retired.

Well, the more you know. As for the location of the picture, a part of me wants to answer the photo was taken in a part of the circuit that goes through Wicklow, but I feel like that would be too obvious so I'll go for a curveball and answer Galynibarny (the text on the map isn't very clear so chanc...

The Autodromo Internacional de Benguela in Angola. m I kept the original layout of the circuit, but added a few extra features, such as a new paddock area, a sort of club circuit around the original paddock, a chicane on the back straight similar to the Variante Rettfilo in Monza, a couple of other ...

I'd certainly be up for doing a couple of races on Gran Turismo, at least. I'd thought more of PC racing sims, since it seems that everybody and their dog has a copy of something like rFactor or GT Legends (especially the former given the sheer volume of mods developed for it). Unfortunately, I don...

I'm coping by playing Project Cars all winter. Similar idea with me. Whether it's actually playing the games or running series, less real racing means more fake racing. I'm half surprised that I haven't seen some suggesting perhaps having a few online sim races amongst the forum members in the off ...

Well, we've got one of the fastest circuits on the calendar next, so let's go for a drag reduction upgrade.

AJ Foyt Enterprises are offering Collin Pratchett a seat in our #41 car.

Well, I've had better luck. We got Talent at least.

Also I'm not quite sure if you did my D&Ts from the between Jacarepagua and Kyalami as you didn't post the results for it. I'm not sure how, but I completely missed your D&T choices for the first race. Sorry about that. You'll therefore be getting five upgrades rather than three. Because yo...

TheFlyingCaterham

Oh hey a point

We will use one D&T to increase Mechanical Grip and the other two to focus on next year's car.

Also I'm not quite sure if you did my D&Ts from the between Jacarepagua and Kyalami as you didn't post the results for it.

TheFlyingCaterham

Osella will use one D&T for decreasing drag and the other for increasing reliability.

Have you tried making a circuit on a normal world yet? More elevation changes and other natural occurances make for a potentially more interesting circuit. I'm building one of them at the moment. Has a lot of layouts and decent elevation changes as well as somewhat realistic runoff. Parts of the tra...

The Circuit du Reims-Gueux revamped:

The population of Gueux according to the most recent source I can find (Internaute) is 1,704, from 2013.

Most of the entries were pretty close though, especially the top 4. So it's Adrian's turn to set the challenge for us now.

TheFlyingCaterham

Since next year's new regs are a lot more downforce-based, and Red Bull are known to be perfectly able to design cars with good downforce, I reckon next year's champion will either be Ricciardo or Verstappen.

As you can see above, I have now done liveries for all sixteen teams. I hope you are happy with them (some of the sponsors were really tricky to mesh into a coherent scheme) The Spirit has the onboard camera on it and it even has the company name in Kanji. That is katakana, not kanji. Anyways, thes...

And all of you thought 2016 was already crazy enough. Not soemthing I expected to wake up to this morning, but it kind of makes sense.

Just Osella/TheFlyingCaterham to go. I'm told that he's elsewhere for the duration of the weekend. While waiting, I did a dummy-run of the sponsor RNGs (minus Osella), and the result was... !

I think it's Rosberg's championships to lose, since all he needs to do is get home in a podium position, something we know Rosberg can easily do. So unless something out of the ordinary happens or Rosberg is just slow, then it'll be his championship. Feels weird, because this would be near-guarrante...

The first teaser from the new Cars movie (Cars 3) came out on Monday, and it seems particularly dark, for a Pixar film at least.

With Massa and Button not racing next season, 2017 will feature only seven previous Grand Prix winners (Both Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari drivers and Alonso). Has there ever been less than this at any point asides from the earliest seasons? Yes. For example: 1993: Prost, Senna, Berger, Patrese an...

As for the engine deals, we currently don't have one, but I am working on one at the moment. Additionally, for the upgrade plans, I don't think you've explain what the Alpha/Beta/Gamma/Delta, so that has me a little confused. So I'm not going to be able to have final upgrade plans until that gets e...

The whole thing is about 8.27 km long, and of course you could add on a few dozen metres by drawing the curves better.

TheFlyingCaterham wrote:I the circuit must be between 4-7km,

That said, since you do have a shorter layout I will judge that instead if you don't change your entry.
