About Wookey story (comments and discussion)

For the Victory race I think it will be held on the Circuit of Champignac, as the World Champion is French. The FFSA will thus be the host.

I already made 15 cars :

N° Driver Team Constructor Engine  
1 Emerson FITTIPALDI Team Lotus Lotus 72 Ford Cosworth V8   x
4 John CANNON Sid Taylor March 711 Ford Cosworth V8 Firestone x
5 Peter GETHIN BRM BRM P160 BRM V12   x
10 Mike HAILWOOD Team Surtees Surtees TS9B Ford Cosworth V8   x
11 Brian REDMAN Yardley Team McLaren McLaren M19C Ford Cosworth V8   x
12 Ronnie PETERSON March Engineering March 721G Ford Cosworth V8   x
14 Jean-Pierre BELTOISE BRM BRM P180 BRM V12   x
15 Mike BEUTTLER Clarke-Mordaunt-Guthrie Racing March 721G Ford Cosworth V8
20 Andrea De ADAMICH Team Surtees Surtees TS9 Ford Cosworth V8   x
21 Jody SCHECKTER Yardley Team McLaren McLaren M19A Ford Cosworth V8   x
25 Henri PESCAROLO Frank Williams Racing Cars March 711 Ford Cosworth V8   x
26 Vern SCHUPPAN BRM BRM P153 BRM V12   x
33 Pierre SOUKRY - McLaren M10B (F5000) Ford Cosworth V8 x
50 Nicholas Cole DSC DSC M01A Ford Cosworth V8 DFV V8 3.0 Goodyear x
62 Denis Briot Denis Briot Motul Racing GRD 172 Ford Cosworth V8 DFV V8 3.0 Goodyear x










DSC is now entering as a constructor in his own right. The car is making its debuts in this final non championship race, and the limited finances of the team mean it will appear at some races only in 1973 to gain experience.

I plan to do those next :

happy to show you today's job for Victory race :

Here is my best for Watson's 721. In fact it was a unique restoration to 721 out of the Eiffelland E21. But I'm not 3D modeller so I did with what I had.

and here is Purley's Connew/Vulkan

Now, I just have to add the filter to the usual imaginary cars then I'll have to choose a track. So far Champignac is the present choice but maybe I can get a better idea...

Here are the other entries for the Victory race. I do not add pictures as you know all these cars already.
Now, I test tracks, I'm trying to choose a nice one, which gives nice grabshots pictures, allows 42 cars, and with an appearance that suits France in 1972.
As long as the race is not raced, you can send appliance or give advice about the car set.

Lédenon works with 45 cars ! The camera is a bit too far from the cars, but that will make a different flavour to the report.
And top of all : as my home track (made in real life by my cousin Jean-Claude Bondurand), it makes perfcectly sense to host the race that is a tribute to my world title, so I will build a story to explain the choice. Stay tuned, I hope to post it tomorrow on the main story section.

I know Chris Amon was special, but... He can drive two cars at a time?
