Alright, time to do a bit of catching up with Triumph:

- The works Triumphs will be switched from the TR3 to the TR4 racing model. Everything else will remain unchanged, and the TR3As will be kept as spares
- All privateers that want Triumphs will get pre-approval by the manufacturer, as long as they're not the TR4 racing model
- DCR will run with a Brunswick Green with white racing stripe and highlights. The Oxfordshire coat of arms will be displayed on both sides of the car

After some thought, Morgan will build another Morgan Plus 4 SS LT. They will also make a third entry for Rounds 2-7; it's car number will be #290 and it will (hopefully) be piloted by Chris Lawrence. Doesn't make much sense to use a car and not hire the driver the edition is named after, does it?

Scuderia Ferrari SEFAC will also construct a 330 GTO, and leave it stored in the factory for now.

You can't enter any rounds in the second half of the season because you already have active entries in the first half.

Here's the new Triumph and DCR liveries:

Of the cars entered for the first race, the following are still missing a livery and won't start unless one is provided by the deadline:
All Société Automobiles Alpine cars (#110, #111, #112 Alpine A110s)
Pedro Rodriguez's #24 Ferrari 250 GTO
Bib Stillwell's #444 Jaguar E-Type


With the current entry numbers, GT 1.0 and GT 2.0 will have separate starts while GT 3.0 and GT +3.0 will share the same start.

As agreed with Nuppiz on the chat, I'll put my hat in the ring to take over FIAT.

Fiat will enter all three of our Abarth 800s into the first two rounds of the season.

Not long after the brand-new Lotus 23 dominated the GT 2.0 class in the World Sprint Racing Championship race at Warwick Farm Raceway, other manufacturers also participating in the same class were quick to launch a protest that the Lotus doesn't actually fulfill all of the technical requirements for a Grand Touring car.

After a thorough scrutineering, the organisational body of WSRC confirmed that a number of features required from a road-legal grand touring car were missing from the Lotus 23, and the model should be classified as a "sports car" instead. As a result, the Lotus cars which grabbed a 1-2-3 in the race were disqualified, with Alfa Romeo driver Pedro Bello declared the new winner of the race.


Yeah, I clearly made a mistake by allowing the Lotus 23 in this series. Due to not making this decision earlier, I'm allowing Lotus to build new cars from any of their other models without any waiting time (i.e. they're already available for South Africa).

Ah, it was inevitable (Le Mans and all that). The Lotus Elite will take the 23's place for all events henceforth, and Lotus and Aston Martin will enter their full respective lineups for the Roskilde round.

The South African round will be run over the weekend. Replacements for two injured drivers (Angelina Sokoloff and Alan Foster) are still missing, the respective teams should sort these out or miss the race altogether.

Championship standings

You might wonder why I changed to three qualifying laps for the last race. This is because due to AIW issues the game failed to make sure all cars set proper lap times in qualifying and used up all of their available qualifying laps. So I had to partially quick-sim qualifying, which seems to generate times based solely on driver performance files while ignoring the car's performance completely. Running the session to the end normally and then going to the race didn't work either, because the game still generated times for some drivers even though there was actually no time left on the clock. This is why the grids have looked very strange compared to the eventual race results.

Three qualifying laps allows every driver to set a more or less representative time while making sure they don't end up with unused laps which the game could use as an excuse for some totally random grids. In the GT 3.0 / +3.0 race, the only driver whose time still got generated by the game was Jack Fairman, and he dropped like a brick in the race so the situation normalized to reflect true performances fairly quickly.

Clearly the 96 didn't suit that course all that well, but at least the cars were stable and reliable (I wouldn't want to be a Rootes suspension designer right now). As for the damaged #96 car, we will use the spare 96 Rally that's already built as it's replacement and build a new 96 Rally to become the new spare.

As a reminder to all manufacturers: don't forget to build new cars to replace written-off ones (if they are super-limited models). You must clearly state your intentions of doing so, no new cars are built just by stating "we'll use the spare/alternative model". Check this post for your current possessions and cars currently under construction (if any).

Equipo Castelldefels returns to racing!

Former F1 Team Equipo Castelldefels will return to competitive motorsport as a Privateer entry.

The Team are intending to take part in the next four races from Races 3-6 and are expecting to continue further to the end of the European season.

Castelldefels will buy 2 Ferrari GTOs and will seek the drivers of Juan-Manuel Bordeu and Edoardo Lualdi.

We are willing to hand our spare 250 GT Berlinetta SWB Competizione to Lualdi, given his proven track record driving La Scuderia cars.

For Juan-Manuel Bordeu, you would need to wait for a new 250 California Spyder to be built before being able to run him.

To be clear, any unauthorised car swaps between drivers will lead to all your Ferrari equipment being impounded by the factory.

Castelldefels will accept the offer for Lualdi.

Would it be possible for me to purchase another 250 GT? If yes, we will put in a bid for Peter Nöcker intead of Bordeu. If no, Castelldefels will enter the first race with only one car.

I only wish to have a limited quantity of examples of this car in circulation at any given time, and Ecurie Francorchamps has priority, so no, I will decline this request.

You can have a standard spec 250 GT Berlinetta SWB, rather than Lualdi's Competizione model, but because there is no spare inventory in the factory, you will have to wait for it to be built before entering it. Nuppiz will tell you when this is possible.

Jocko Maggiacomo wasn't even 15 years old at this time, so I presume you're meaning his father Chauncey T. Maggiacomo Sr., who had the same nickname and was also a racing driver (although not as famous as his son). Will the #903 and #904 use similar liveries as the others?

The Team are intending to take part in the next four races from Races 3-6 and are expecting to continue further to the end of the European season.

Castelldefels will buy 2 Ferrari GTOs and will seek the drivers of Juan-Manuel Bordeu and Edoardo Lualdi.

You can only enter three rounds for now, as per the entry limitations for privateers (you can enter more races as the season progresses, just like everyone). Regardless of which Ferrari you pick as your other car (SWB or Spyder), it will take until Round 4 before it's constructed. Also, are you hiring Bordeu or Nöcker to drive it, and what are your racing numbers and liveries?

I'd also like to announce that Monza can hold a maximum of 35 cars per race. The only class where we're currently close to reaching the limit is GT 2.0, with 33 entries.

Our first choice will be the Spyder and if we are able to get one, Bordeu will be bought in to drive, but if we don't get it, we shall opt instead for the SWB and throw a bid on Nöcker for the drive.

As for the numbers, Lualdi's number will be 64 and Bordeu's will be 65 if his entry goes through. And for liveries, that will be dealt with later.

I made clear my position and now it is being made confused again. I will start over.

Castathingamy can have two Spyders. Whether they want the less powerful version that is built quicker, or the more powerful lne that takes longer to build, is up to them. I don't care who drives along as they raced Ferraris between 1960-64 in any category elsewhere. No Berlinetta SWBs.

Well, in that case, as long as Nuppiz agrees with this, Castelldefels will be set to buy the 2 Spyders, depending on when it will be built, leaving with only the 1 Spare Ferrari 250 GT Competizione entry with Lualdi confirmed for the next race.

Since I might as well:

Lotus and Aston Martin will (barring injuries, family commitments, that sort of thing) run the same lineups in the Nurburgring.

Both marques will also begin construction of a spare model of each of the Elite Super 105 and DB4 Zagato.

I confirmed with Biscione on the chat that he's no longer willing to lend his spare SWB nor build any new ones for you, so if you want to run Ferraris your only option now is to buy California Spyders. Since they're all limited-edition models, you have the following options:

  • Buy two regular California Spyders. Both of these will be ready to race in France (Round 4). These can then be upgraded to Competizione spec in time for Belgium (Round 6), subject to another approval by Biscione.
  • Buy two California Spyder Competiziones. Both of these will be ready to race in Britain (Round 5).
  • Buy one of each variant, with the regular model being ready for France and the Competizione for Britain. The regular model can then be upgraded in the schedule as defined in the first option.

I have totally understood your statement, so we shall just stick with the first option.

In that case, the provisional entries for Round 4 will be:

64 - Juan-Manuel Bordeu - 250 California Spyder
65 - Edoardo Lualdi - 250 California Spyder

Numbers:
#500 - Teodore Zeccoli (Fiat 500 Abarth)
#501 - Riccardo Ricci (Fiat 2300 Coupé)

Both new entries, along with the three existing entries, will be entered for the maximum number of races permitted for a manufacturer.

Liveries for the cars to follow.
