Well ! consider it your "Easter egg" coming soon

I'm sorry for my laziness. I tried to run the next race, but my new computer doe not agree. Impossible to make F1C run on it. I'm going to have a look about what goes wrong.
Edit :
Never mind, I solved the problem in ten minutes this time, while I tried many times for no avail before. Divine surprise !

Well,
I solved the main problems but I have still some annoying thing :

I usually work by putting the game in a window. Now, I can't do it.

IIRC, all I had to do is edit the Config.ini file from :


WINDOWEDMODE=0
to

WINDOWEDMODE=1

Since my new computer, this change is changed back every time I launch the game.
So I play in full screen, then when I get out the game, I verify the .ini and it is changed back to

WINDOWEDMODE=0

Any idea?

Philippe tries to open and edit the config file as an administrator..

Thanks I did this and change to WINDOWEDMODE=1 then saved.

But it did not work

as soon as I run Config, or the game itself, it comes back to

WINDOWEDMODE=0

Next race will be Monaco. In Real Time Line, there was a struggle about the participation as the organizer wanted the number of cars limited to 20, and the F1 CA said "it's 25 or none". In the Wookey Story, things will be more complicated with the COEGPI (imaginary) teams offering a solution.
Let me mind about this and find a way to write the alternate story...

(suggestions welcomed, but I'll find a way anyway...)

The next race will be non Championship. In the real time line, that Gold Cup was mainly a F5000 race with those few F1 added :

41	Peter GETHIN	BRM	BRM P160B		BRM V12
42	Reine WISELL	BRM	BRM P180		BRM V12
43	Vern SCHUPPAN	BRM	BRM P153		BRM V12
44	Emerson FITTIPALDI	Team Lotus	Lotus 72D		Ford Cosworth V8
45	Dave WALKER	Team Lotus	Lotus 72D		Ford Cosworth V8
46	Denny HULME	Bruce McLaren Motor Racing	McLaren M19A		Ford Cosworth V8
47	Tim SCHENKEN	Team Surtees	Surtees TS9		Ford Cosworth V8
48	Ronnie PETERSON	March Engineering	March 721X		Ford Cosworth V8

+ the great return of Chris Lewis (aka Cristian Luis), I still do not know how, probably on a Lotus.




I'm not sure which ones I choose, so your reactions are important to help me know who is still interested.

If someone new is motivated enough to provide some back story, I woill be pleased to offer him a slot too. There will probably be plenty of room on the Grid as those who will not comment within a week might be passing their turn this time.

Well not much reaction from the forum so far...
On the other hand, two old acquaintances are coming back from Facebook.

Chris Lewis, aka Cristian Luis, aka Odoru Higanbana gathered money from Motor Racing Stables and MADOM to fiels a BRM P153. He plans to participate in some races with the same engine bolted at the back of a Lola chassis. Details are not available so far.


and Paul Chiachierini alias OnMario bought Tyrrell 002 chassis with the help of Martini. The power comes from an Aston Martin Lagonda V8 initially developped for Sports Cars racing.

Great news
