The present cars can race until Spain (included) They they'll need an evolution of current model with side structures to be defined to fulfill new 1973 technical rules.
Or be totally changed for another car. Feedback and ideas from the 2 pilots appreciated.

Like a Star @ heaven

May I ask what kind of evolution should this model have for '73 ?

The rules make mandatory to have deformable side structures to protect the pilot and the gaz tanks.
Most teams answered by moving radiaotors to the side and use their boxes as these famous deformable structure. (Lotus, Tyrrell, McLaren)
Some simply added extra width to the chassis to include some room for protection (Ferrari, March...)
And some redesignated totally their cars includins a pyramid shape side tank, itself protected by a larger pyramid shape flank (Brabham)

Di certo lo scrittore avrà un suo copione da seguire, e quindi non può fare decidere al simulatore la sorte di un campionato ( anche se mi sarebbe piaciuto essere un "Campione del mondo " ).
Ad ogni modo apprezzo molto la disponibilità e l'apertura di Philippe, ai nostri suggerimenti, pareri o critiche finalizzate al miglioraramento della storia stessa...
Per quanto mi riguarda (SCS), mi piace l'idea di avere Riccardo Priori al mio fianco per il prossimo anno... a condizione che i suoi sponsor portino una valanga di soldi, visto che il 1972 in termini di risultati economici non è stata un'annata da incorniciare..

After a long discussion with the mechanics of the team and the people who walked around it through 1972 we can finally say we are happy to be mates with Luigi Mennella… we are looking for the magnificent sponsor requested by our new team mate… decisions will be displayed as soon as possible… thank you Philippe for including as in your amazing story!

After the show, the car was fitted with additional cooler in front.

Hola Marie !
The quality of your modelling always astonishes me ! I'm sure David will confirm this !
I was thinking, if you now have 3 radiators, maybe you can get rid of the one situated in the nose? One for oil, and one for water/engine was often enough at the time and the large ones you have in the flanks could do the job, allowing for a thinner nose.
Of course, this is only a suggestion, and you can keep it as such. But in the other hand, 1973 F5000 Lola has a very distunbctive nose that could more or less inspire you.

In case you are interested, you could inspire yourself from the nose of the T330 model of the F1-Seven Mod

Or better, invent one thin and beautiful nose by yourself ! I trust you to make something very elegant in any case.

Good luck !

Se prima avevo un dubbio ora ne ho una certezza

C'est un superbe travail Marie !
Une voiture parfaitement de 1973, et qui pourtant ne ressemble à aucune autre. Tu as inventé une nouvelle Lola qu'Eric Broadley aurait aimé construire !
Merci de me faire ce plaisir !
Je vais devoir fouiller ma documentation pour lui inventer un numero de série crédible !
A moins que tu ne décides de la baptiser toi même. Après tout, Lola a souvent construit des voitures qui ont reçu d'autres noms, comme la Ford GT40, la Larrousse ou la BMS...
