REPUBBLICA VALLELUNGA - TROFEO AUTO SPRINT

J'ai lu ceci et j'aimerais beaucoup recevoir des informations

Vallelunga compris comme la piste de course Vallelunga Piero Taruffi ou Vallelunga Pratameno signifie-t-il?
En tout cas, Vallelunga n'est pas une république si l'on entend la réalité des choses.

Chère Marie, il s'agit d'une course qui s'est réellement déroulée le 18 juin 1972 sur le circuit italien de Vallelunga. Son nom était "Gran Premio della Republica Italiana" à ne pas confondre avec le "Gran Premio d'Italia " qui se déroulait le 10 Septembre sur le circuit de Monza.

J'ai commencé à adapter les voitures historiques et les renuméroter pour les inclure dans la course :


C'est un procédé lent, car souvent, je ne dispose pas d'une voiture sans numéro qui serait simple à numéroter. Et je tiens aussi  à faire l'icône du pilote de mon mieux. Après plusieurs heures de travail, j'ai réussi à mettre dans le jeu les 8 voitures qui ont réellement participé. Je vous présente aussi la Tyrrell-Aston de Paul Chiachierini (que vous connaissez comme OnMario) et les deux Vaillante. J'ai aussi ajouté une Ferrari, parce qu'une coure de F1 en Italie sans Ferrari, c'est comme des lasagnes végétariennes...

En ce qui concerne les voitures imaginaires de la Wookey Story, le travail est souvent plus rapide, leur numéors changent moins souvent, et de plus, la plupart disposent d'une version où le numéro est resté en blanc ce qui me permet de travailler confortablement

A peine une heure m'a suffit pour ajouter les dernières.

Sure that starting from the pole position and not even finishing the first lap   ... I don't know... but is something depressing

With help from Luigi and dmarques, Vallelunga was finally held. Next race will be Charade. As usual your input will be welcomed... Here are some usual questions :

1) What is the best Charade version for taking views grabs?
2) Which pilots would you want to add to the official Entry list ? (very few slots availables)
3) Do you have any side stories you want me to add ?

or any newcomer???

Please raise hands if you want to race in France.

you could make a participation of all competitors, but with a starting grid of 46 drivers .. that is only those who is able to qualify

That's an idea that would solve many problems in the past. So I'll try.

Actually, I tried to do this several time before, but every time, some top drivers do not make a timed lap, so they do not qualify. Should I change something to be sure every pilot have a try?

Here is how I do it, lines from the .plr file

CURNT Opponents="55"
PRACT Opponents="55"
QUICK Opponents="55"
GPRIX Opponents="46"

Am I wrong somewhere?

I think the configuration is right, but you have to see if there are enough stalls in the pits ..

Or wait for the real time of the tests, without forcing the game
