For the logo, I had thought for your story, at one Mitsubishi Colt F2000 adapted for the 1970 Formula One championship with a Honda V8 engine

You know, the Joker in the first of Tim Burton's Batman movies said a sentence I always think of when I see one of your new creations.
He said: "And where does he get his wonderful toys?"
I'm yet to see you make Speed Racer's Mach 5, my friend.
Absolutely beautiful car. Yves will definitely have a great car to drive in 1970! Congrats!

1970 happens to be the year I first worked with you guys and, to be honest, I've been feeling tempted to ask Wookey for a place in his story for this year, maybe side by side with Stommelen, Moser or Courage.
By the way, I've been following the story, even though I don't comment much, Wookey. It's always very entertaining and with curious little side details that make it even more interesting. Please keep it coming whenever you have the creativity to do so.

Thank you Daniel, you are always so kind to me. Very Happy

Your entry into wookey's story would be a top choice. Wink

So, I finally mounted the V12 Honda on the Mitsubishi Colt F2000, and that's the end result. Rolling Eyes

Tried to race italian GP 69 for the story a dozen times. Blows both Citroen-Maseratis engine at every attempt.... I dont know why, I dont know what to change to avoid this. If I have no solution I will include this into the story, but it's a pity...

Can you give me the Citroen-Maseratis engine file (.ini)?

and also, have you try this solution?

RPMTorque=(22500, -214.5, 379.5) /max torque
RevLimitRange=(22500.0, 100.0, 11)

Note that the values must be equal. 22500

Then take this value 22500 and increase it 2000 = 24500

LifetimeEngineRPM=(24500.0,397.1)

Did you understand the logic?
RPMTorque=(15500, -160.5, 267.5) /max torque
RevLimitRange=(15500.0, 100.0, 11)
LifetimeEngineRPM=(17500.0,397.1)
I learned this by comparing the original "engine" F1 Challenge 99-02 with those of the other Mods.

If this is not the problem, it must be the incompatibility between the "engine" and the "gear_ratios". Some cars do not walk, others walk slow, and some burst the engine.
In some Mod a Ligier burst the engine, I traded the gear_ratios for a McLaren and it worked. That's how I learned.

Oh, I forgot that tip. Sorry guys, thanks for the help. My head is a bit cloudy for weeks now. I will try this tomorrow, it's late here, now. (I'm on a mission abroad and jetlagged)
