About Wookey story (comments and discussion)

McLeod wrote:Great story, but What is the team name? also ... Is the engine à V8?

Well I don't know the name, in the VEH file says Gulf Maseratti, but any volunteer who may think of a better name is welcomed to do so. The engime in graphics is a V8 because that's how it was modeled and I have no clue about that, but in the HDV I've modified it so it has de V12 maseratti and it's ratios.

Great idea. Too bad you could not actually changed the engine, but I'll manage Thanks for entering

I had to edit slightly your story to make it fit into my whole frame, but I hope it is good for you as such. I Will Now work on the US GP report.

Nevermind, I really liked it! Altough the Gulf executives are a bit dissapointed with the engine failure, but we will be back!!

US GP online. I could not make my Watkins Glen work, so I moved to Riverside. Preparing Mexico !

I might write some more non racing episodes before Mexico GP to announce 1970 season, as I just did for the Team Vulkan. So, if you want to be included at this time, it is the good moment to give me your plans for 1970.

For Mexican GP, entry list is already full : the same as US GP, but Andretti who is replaced by John Miles.

For 1970, McLeod will simply buy a Lotus 49. After a year of experimentation, back to simplicity !

Salut Philippe.

You can include a meeting with me in Don Pedro s Ranch. There you will learn I made a deal with Chapman to get 2 Lotus 49 chassis for 1970 as he is planning to race with experimental cars for te2m Lotus.

1970 season is in the building, some hints are featured in the various discussions in Don Pedro's ranch. (see main story, I added some illustrations).

As you can see, I included the possibility to run a Vaillante team in 1970. Or not.

Luigi is taking a break out of modding, so I will not ask him to do it. If someone wants to do that cars, the only pictures available are those :

Vaillante 701


Brands Hatch


Mont-Tremblant

If I do not have them, I will do without ! No problem Now I hesitate between working on Miguel and McLeod cars, or running the Mexican GP first... It will depend on my mood.

Here I attach some press photographies taken at Kyalami during the presentation of the Car for next year. It will be a De Tomasso 505/38, the same as Frank Williams will be using for his private team. Gulf's Idea is to only have one car at the begining of the championship and if it turns out to be a competitive car then include a second driver if there are vacancies during the season.
