[gorgias1976]

SR4L welcomes you to our 1976 Formula 1 Season.

Did you miss racing, then you'll find plenty of it for the next 8 months.

Basic 1976 Season rules:

- The 1976 season will consist of 16 races that will take place once every two sundays. (see the list of tracks below)

- Three cars will battle in the championship. The BT44B, March 761 and the Mclaren M23.

- Drivers taking part in the championship will have to pick up on of the three cars and keep using it for the whole season (Whatever you chose for race 1, keep it for the remaining of the season)

- Every racing event will consist of:
120 minute practice session starting 17:35 British time
30 minute qualifying session starting 19:25 British time
7 minute warmup
Race (aprox 60 minutes)

- Pitstops. Drivers will have to do a mandatory pitstop during the race. During the pitstop all 4 tires will have to be changed. Fuel refueling is optional.

Nice one Gorka , but can i suggest you include the M23 , i have done a comparison using carstat and there is hardly any difference , m23 has slightly more power but its heavier , on a quick test at Brianza using same fuel loads there was very little difference in lap times . its also historically correct .
   

[gorgias1976]

OK, I'm creating new mod and will bring the server up

[gorgias1976]

Updating OP

[gorgias1976]

Server is up, let me know when you test if there's any difference between the standard Mclaren and the Shadow Mclaren.

[deecee52]

According to carstat there is no difference , it looks like its just a skin choice thing

[deecee52]

I cant feel any difference in testing and lap times are roughly the same

[bullwinkle]

I would like to drive the 23

[deecee52]

I would like to drive the 23

Tim are we revitalising the Wrinklies ?

[Edvvc]

Looking forward to this season. Not sure what car to pick yet (probably March) and I probably won't be able to make all races. Would anyone like to form a team with me?

[bullwinkle]

Deecee I am all for that if you are willing to put up with me again

[Ricknau]

Cookie, another round together? I'm not particular on which car.

I'll miss Kyalami Oct 21... going to COTA to watch F1!

[myself9]

Fantastic work SR4L team! This is going to be a great season

[deecee52]

Deecee I am all for that if you are willing to put up with me again

Great , i will go with your car choice and you choose the team colours this time .

- Two cars will battle in the championship. The BT44B, March 761 and the Mclaren M23.

"Three cars"

[Hedlund]

Nice! This is literally what I dreamt about back in like 2013... 70s F1 championship. Me and my brother in a team with JPS colours But now it's not very likely I will be able to participate. Sunday nights are not good at all... still. Maybe a race or two if I'm lucky.

But I'm still alive and I'm checking in here from time to time to see that you guys are doing alright

Fixed

[gorgias1976]

We need more testing.

I'm a bit worried about the Mclaren being faster and a easier to drive than the other two.

[sdancourt]

I m in with my brother as Ecurie Peruvien as usual. Car to be choosen.

So far i have not been able to beat the time i set with a March using the Mclaren , i dont think the M23 has any superiority unless there are some settings i have not yet discovered , its certainly not as easy to drive as the March striaght out of the box
