About Wookey story (comments and discussion)

I"m glad I'm out of Mareille GP. I thought this could be a nice idea, but all these sprints asked for a very tedious management of .veh files. Plus some bug chasing as it is not always enough to simply move cars in the vehicle folder. You must watch engines and tyres files too... Next race will be international Trophy, opened to F1 and F2. There are far enough F1 to race it, furthermore if we add the "special wookey" bunch of privateers. So I will have much less work to do so... As usual, newcomers always welcomed, and F1CFAN : your car will remain as such until you send me a decent skin

Apart from the unfortunate Jim   ,
I've counted no less than 49 real drivers in the 1968 season...

...not counting ourselves ( fictional drivers)...

hmmm yes... got it... just allot cars to random real drivers will do.

Now I'm going to simulate International Trophy. It is not provided for in the Mod, so, some .veh to edit. And maybe skins also

most of cars have simply changed race numbers no need to repost. This one is different



OK, It is not perfect, I did with what I had... The only available picture of it is this :

not considering the rear (engine and cover) the livery should be something like...

thanks Luigi. The engine is suppsoed to be right, same car as 69 Cordts at Canada, and for the cover, let's say they removed it in my own time line

Yes,  Philippe, you're right..
the engine used by John Cordts in Canada in 1969, is the same ( Coventry Climax FPF 2.8 )
While the problem is that  the legendary Sam Alex, in his model, did not consider that on the left side there were four-cylinder


while the discharges are only on the right....


Also not to be considered (in the 1968 model) the red canister of nitro .., and add engine cover instead...

However we are talking of a minor model that (maybe) do not deserve further study , and as I always said is your story, so the choice is yours ...

Well, thanks for the proposal, Luigi. I think we do not have yet enough documents on this very special car that appears here and there, mostly in non championship races, before Cordts had it at Mosport.
As you say, this is a very minor car, and I can use it as it is (with this very good skin you did) without any problem. I'm sure we will meet much more important challenges in the future of the story where your expertise will be necessary.
In any case, I ran the race today, and came here to make the report, so let's proceed

Hey Luigi, anything you do is always well done. You can choose whatever project you want, I'll be pleased if you share.

Now, if you want to do some BT23 and BT23B, you can also consider doing a F2 version...

And once we are talking about it, there is also the wooden Protos...
