Great ! The second SCS (where you are mentioned) is thus available for any Italian member of the forum or other suitable candidate, as with the other cars of the second list.

If no candidacy appear here or on FB, I will choose which car to add myself. Why not a third Wookey to celebrate my first title?

Congrats for Nathy's Podium. I hard to fight hard on the last lap to keep my victory, she was coming fast on my mirrors with Oliver as one picture shows.

I would have a proposal ...

51 Adrian Clint-MG. UOP Shadow De Tomaso 505 Ford Cosworth DFV V8 3.0 Dunlop

...in memory of our dear member ...

I'm available to do the livery, if you agree ...

I buy this, and helmet too

Hi Folks ! I finally achieved, with some months delay on the schedule this 1970 season.

1971 is the first season I already played (long ago at RSC forum) But this time it will be different as I'll use my wonderful Wookey made by Luigi for the occasion. Miguel asked for a leave, so you will soon have a plot to tell what happens to the Don Pedro de la Zapata Mexican Team. McLeod will join Wookey as second pilot.
Vincent's Vulkan Team will probably be here. I must speak with him about this, but for the moment he is focused on our other common passion : Wargames. So I have no idea of what he will race on. Maybe a F1 version of the Indy or F5000 Eagle, as his ties with Dan Gurney are strongs, but anything is still opened.

Nathy will be out for the season you will have a plot about this (not bad news Luigi ! You'll see !) So Luigi will have to drive the future 1971 SCS himself or join Lancia Team.

Riccardo Priori might join him in one of those teams, or they might take one different for each. Just suggestions.

I do not take as granted that other special guests will come back in 1971. But they will have time to wave at me to join ! And newcomers always welcomed.

I return to the scs, with the displeasure of not finding Nathy as a partner on the team   , and hoping to have the version 3 soon

Winners chose to run the Bellasi throughout the season. Bold choice !


So you'll be alone in the SCS this year (maybe a second car for Monza and Torre del Greco?)

Miss Taka Katsumoto is in search for a car, but will continue in 1971 for sure.

Vulkan is brewing something... wait and see.

Next Team I'll present will be Lotus.

I can easily add a private Lotus 72, so it is time to apply

I already had my Lotus 72 last time you played 1971 at RSC forum (good old days) so I'd rather stick to what I asked you, Philippe on the phone.

Your proposal of the Wookey is fine, but any other car would go.

I'd accept any second pilot position in a "Wookey Story" team. Keeping my own sponsors (and #56) would be a plus. But please at the middle of season, include I'm preparing my very own car for 1972 !!

Luigi, Vincent, Riccardo? Any one else? Do you want a team mate, with money?

You are welcome in the Scuderia Centro Sud, let me know

Mi piacere molto pilotare con la tua scuderia che e molto famosa ! Mille Grazie per la tua proposizione (sorry for tourist' italian )

Thanks Luigi, I would be very honoured for this. You already got my blue shade, tartan and sponsors. I trust you to do a great car. My helmet is like Stewart's with my own Tartan in place of his, red for the top white part, and blue for the bottom white part.

I hope I'll have luck with this season and to be a good team mate for you ! Developpiong the car with 2 pilots will be a new experience for me
