Toro Rosso Testing long runs and high fuel with the race in mind. Missed the chance for quali simulation because of some technical gremlins, but we have every faith in our experienced drivers to pull it out of the bag when it comes to qualifying tomorrow.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
I'm also away for a week but have access to an intermittent WiFi signal so I'll try to keep checking in.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Toro Rosso A fruitless race in the end, but Reubens showed some good pace. We're disappointed that Franck wasn't able to carry forward his form from last race and we want to swap him and Heidfeld for the next race. We also want to give the race drivers the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the circuit and car in free practice now we only have one session.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Toro Rosso That wasn't the result we were looking for if we're honest, but the times between p3 and p15 are really close and we're confident in our race setup. It's great to see Rubens back in F1 and we're sure that he will be right on the pace once he's got a few race laps under his belt. We also hope our preseason work on reliability will make sure we pick up poinby ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Toro Rosso Both drivers have show excellent speed here in the practice session which boads well for qualifying and the race, when the regular race drivers will step back in the car. Vitaly and Nick both have a chance of stepping up to the race seats in upcoming events if their performances continue to be strong and either Rubens or Franck fail to deliver. Team owner Chris Burland expressed hisby ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Suggestion for jacks perfs. Could he post them using spoiler tags, then if people don't want to see them they don't have to, but we know that they've been made public. Just a thoughtby ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Are the remaining budgets that can be used for updates going to be posted.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Toro Rosso drivers haven't been updated on the op. Rubens should be driver 1 and Franck driver 2. Nearly missed the new thread -is it worth adding a post to the old thread linking to the new one before getting it closed. Also would be good to get this thread pinned. Thanks. Looking forward to as great season, rule changes seem OK to me. Is out worth saying how many days between perfsby ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Sorry. Was going to wait till after testing, but as that has gone, I'll go with Rubens barrichello and Franck montagny. Thanksby ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Sounds good to me. I'd rather have results screens rather than videos of shorter races, but I'm happy to go with the majority on this. Thanks for picking this back up.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Our 4 drivers at toro Rosso are correct. They will get equal time during the pre season and then the first choice drivers will be announced before the first race if the event organisers are okay with this model.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Do you need anything else from us to get the ball rolling?by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
I agree that newcomers should probably start lower down, but I imagine most managers will want to stock with the team they've built up if they've been working in it for any length of time.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
I'm happy to carry on with Toro Rosso. Well be using the pre season tests as a shoot out to find the best driver line up.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Oooh. Held onto 4th by a point. Thanks for posting up the results, it was nice to get some closure. I'm guessing there isn't anyone able to pick this up for the new season?by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
I'm guessing this is dead then seeing as there is no news on the last Grand Prix of the season.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
I'd be happy for shorter coverage. To be honest, no I have children I find it quite difficult to find time to play gp4 any more and this keeps my passion for the game alive. I hope the series can continue.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Thanks for the reply. Just unlucky that nick got sick whilst others got away with it. kedy89 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > @ginnerchris: > I already had reduced AI errors down to 10.

Toro Rosso With the double points finish from BMW this was not the day for a double dnf. We'd be interested to know if race control confused doing any thing about turn 1 considering the number if drivers who had problems. We've traced the problem in Franck's car and hopefully it won't happen next time. Would have been interesting to see where the one stop strategy would haveby ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Toro Rosso Lucked in with the weather there. Any idea of the reeve day forecast? Of it stays wet, we've got a points chance, but I fear a dry race could see us drop through the girls based on our Friday times.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Toro Rosso Both drivers made the call to stay on slicks in the last few laps. Franck really made it pay off and he's got us a great result, pushing us up to 4th. Nick's tyres lost a bit of heat during his battles with alonso et al causing him to go off. Great race coverage by the way.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Toro Rosso Apart from setting identical times that was a really unremarkable session for us. Clearly the combination of bridgestone tyres and Ferrari engines aren't suited to qualifying at this track. Let's hope the tyres are better for the race.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Difficult to draw too many conclusions from a wet/dry session, but Franck's pace is encouraging.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Toro Rosso Solid work from both drivers. hopefully this gives us a realistic chance if being competitive to the end of the seasons.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Have we got the results of the test yet?by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Cool, thanks for your answers. Figured that would be the way to go.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Great work on the laptop mod. I'm used to using TSM to do the track replacements, but have another mod running. Can I use TSM with both mods, or would that confuse? I also have the arcade overlays showing up, even though they are disabled in the graphics menu.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Toro Rosso. What a fantastic race. Split the strategies because we weren't sure what the fastest way was. Nick's lighter car clearly helped him make that rocket start, but Franck might have been close if he hadn't got caught out by the lose wheel. To be level on points with the great Williams team and their 2 world champions says a lot about how much progress we've madeby ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
Toro Rosso Wow, what a tight session. Should be in for a good result tomorrow providing everyone behaves themselves and we have done good pace, strategy and reliability.by ginnerchris - Grand Prix 4
