Dragon Press Release:

Both the drivers were confident heading into the first round of the GP4CC. The Quattro circuit was small and fast which meant every tenth counted. Finding the right setup was crucial. However, the team's head chef had other ideas. After serving partially cooked chicken during the first day here, the whole team including Milos and Ana fell badly ill. As such no running was made till almost the last day after Milos recovered sufficiently to do a good all time. Vimal was still bedridden with flu and cough and as such couldn't get on track. The head chef was reportedly seen at the airport, boarding a plane back to the UK. Recruitment drives for a new Head Chef have been planned for the upcoming weeks .

Dragon hopes to perform well in the next round. The engineers have gone all out on trying to find aero grip on the car. Next week's track is Monaco, which means grip is of utmost importance.

GP4CC Round 1 - Quattro Raceway - Results

3 former championships filled the podium after the first event of the season.

The teams will have to pack up quickly and jump into their time machines, because the next event at Monaco 1967 has already started!

Please download the latest version of the mod which contains all the car upgrades. Remember also to look out for your fuel penalty allocation.

Well done everyone at Quattro, and good luck at Monaco!

Gp4Forever Press.

Congratulations to everyone. Very good hotlaps.

Jorge had a little chat with the press:

Press reporter:

Quote
What can you tell us about Quattro?

Jorge:

Quote
Quattro was a very short track and tricky at the same time. It was about high wings, acceleration and grip.
The laptimes between drivers were much closer to other tracks because of the very few corners of the track.
Normally an f1 track has about 15 corners or more.

Press reporter:

Quote
Jorge, what do you think about your team mate?.

Jorge:

Quote
Pentagonalface did a nice job with his hotlaps, considering he has no experience in Gp4 leagues, so
im extremly happy with his achievements during the pre-season and Quattro.

Press reporter:

Quote
Monaco 67 is the next event and you have a 5.0 fuel penalty. What result or what you expect to do? .

Jorge:

Quote
Im just trying to have some fun, although im very sure some will not believe that. .

Press reporter:

Quote
What do you see in this Gp4 league?.

Jorge:

Quote
I see this competion as an oportunity to distract myself and have fun at Gp4. To be more honest i hadnt driven this much since 2013

Press reporter:

Thank you Jorge, it was nice chatting with you.

Dragon Racing interview with lead driver Ancevski:
"I am very pleased with the car behaviour in fast corners, but very not pleased about the slow corners. The chicane just has to be taken flat, but the car gets really unstable there. There needs to be more work on the setup. But I'l sure the engineers will find a solution to keep me satisfied."
Meanwhile, Vimal Ana is yet to appear on the circuit.

that moment when you do no straightline speed upgrades yet you still have higher top speeds than a guy who did
unlike the few laps i did on Quattro when I was ill, I am enjoying this track. That "old" nouvelle chicane especially is very fun - you just have to get the line perfectly right, the car gets very nervous.

edit: alright so I sorta nailed it and I feel like I can improve by 5 tenths in the 2nd sector. Will keep on trying but that's probs the best I got.

there we go, PC is starting to get laggy now and I think I can't do much better than that. Hoping with jcaranti having a fuel penalty that I can win an event for once xD

ps: I have very good memories of Monaco, it was my first league race win on F1 2014 One of my better tracks

Downloading things as I type. My question is, how do these fuel penalties work? Do I have to set something else in GPxPatch?

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out while looking at the event page. Hoping for something better here. I have very fond memories of this particular version of the track, years and years of failing at GPL until I somewhat mastered it. Way more exciting than the current layout, and way more dangerous.

EDIT 2: (Just so I don't post twice) I love how a modern car flows through the track! Crazy fast and scary! I doubt I'll improve my time, it was breathtaking (to me)



Stats: 139 Starts / 7 Wins / 9 Poles / 5 Fastest laps

It seems Team Centra's engine upgrades are giving us an advantage in the first sector but we're only just clinging on through the remainder of the lap!

ok so with the current setup,I tried my hardest but i can't beat you.. so annoying, by 0.088. The lap I did yesterday is actually the best I could do.

Already done unfortunately, but as said worn out, worn out. I'll open it later to clean it a bit, I haven't time for it right now because I'm packing everything before moving from my appartment to my new house in about three weeks.

Nice from you to give some tips, really appreciated mate

Good evening !

It's Cosmic with a new account as I can log in to this Forum now on my ipad
Andre just got out of the (Hot-) Seat and directly into his car - driving home with a huge grin on his face.

He studied my laps, changed the gear-ratio for his car and took a ride on 3rd place (so far).

So it's me to drive all night, hoping to beat his time...Porsche F1 Team is very happy with the cars performance so far - but still some days to go at Monaco...!

Come on Jorge, submit your lap earlier this time

so many people are just that little bit faster than me ; - ( So annoying

Good evening from Monte Carlo.

Our #1 driver Lutz Mueller just got back to the pits after his outstanding lap...we've already uploaded his hotlap to the Leaderboard.

This afternoon our driver took a walk through the pits and stopped at the GP4Forever pit to have a chat with team owner Jorge.
After that he went straight back to the Porsche F1 Team pit to talk to his mechanics and obviousley they did listen carefully to the driver

As both drivers are very satisfied with the cars grip, Team Porsche has decided to concentrate on the engine for Imola...

@TomMK: All of the budget on the cars power for San Marino please!!!!

Within the next 15 minutes, our driver #2 should arrive at the track. Andre was lying on the couch in his hotel-room watching TV when he got the call from the team owner, telling him the news on the setup.
So he took a quick shower, grapped some beers from the fridge and is about to enter the track here at Monaco for some more laps as he loves this layout and just has been kicked out of the Top 3...

Let's see what he can do...should be pretty good fun as the guys drive 3 laps each and then change the position behind the wheel. There can't be a better competition than eye-to-eye

Stay tuned...

..:: Porsche F1 Team Press Release ::..

We just finished todays sessions at Monaco GP Circuit with satisfying results for the team.

Our drivers were able to set the fastest laptimes so far with only 2 days left for the other teams to beat them...

We are able to present some shots from our #2 driver, Andre Harke, who was just 0.008s slower on his fastest lap than our #1 driver, Lutz Mueller.

He already showed his speed in sector 1, setting a 21.017s


In sector 2 he even raised his spped and set the fastest split-time so far with an 48.340s


He did not get a good line through this fast corner at the end of the harbour-straight...


But hit the brake-pedal at the right moment for the last hairpin to hit the straight just before crossing start/finish...


Early on the accelerator and stopping the clocks at 1:07.316min...P1 for the moment.


He even tried to beat his time after that several times but without success - unfortunately for Andre our #1 driver, Lutz Mueller, was successful

He was so happy by beating Andre's time by 0.008s that he forgot to take screenshots while watching the replay of his lap.
Despite of being slower in sectors 1 and 2, holding a gap of approx. 0.2s to Andre, he had a superb sector 3 with a 1:07.308min at the end.

Afterwards they had a beer together and Andre made his way home as he has to get up early tomorrow - real life work awaits him.
Lutz, who unfortunately lost his job last friday, can sleep much longer tomorrow and then try to beat his time again before the kids come home from school

Andre won't be able to join the track again at Monaco and will be back in business at Imola next week.

Good night from the Porsche-Motorhome
