The Aurora team is looking into possibilities of making Mils a bit faster. The team is very satisfied with Mitchell and his feedback about the car given during the test. This will be a good starting point. If developments can help the car stay in the upper midfield at least, it'll be a very good season.

Sunshine to spend funds

Sunshine have spent $55 on improving the Cosworth Zetec R, with tuning being done by Nismo.

They have also spent $33 on kicking the backside of Mitchell Winson in order he improves.

Autosport wrote:Gordini show off new engine.

Just before a freezing Silverstone test, Gordini showed off the new engine they have been working on, to the cynic it might seem like the Porsche 3512 engine with a Gordini badge but Gordini engineers have said the new engine has at least 40 more Bhp. They also showed off their new high nose front wing which does look a lot prettier then the old low nose with bits sticking out of it. We do feel it is a bit too late for Clio Racing to escape prequalifying but we believe they may have a fighting chance of getting out of prequalifying.

by **SuperAguri** » 13 Nov 2011, 02:42

The final test will be on Monday morning (in about 30 hours from now...), this will show which 10 teams are good enough to be allowed in to qualifying proper and which 8 teams will have to spend Friday morning trying to prequalify in which 4 teams will take the early flight home. Although 2 drivers will also go home early after qualifying.

This will also decide the numbering system. Fighting Mongooses seem a shoe in for 0 and 2.

So get your upgrades in, especially you Dr-Baker and TheLukas as you do have a large pot of money.

You can also let me know who you number one driver is.

Foxdale would currently like to spend $/£/€ 124 on chassis improvements. Will protect budget for further improvements after first few races. Lead driver to be Florence Briggs, despite Leonhard being faster in testing so far. This to be kept under review.

You can do so, but spending more then 15% of your budget ($75) on any one thing in one go would be a waste of money, I will spend $75 on engine, $75 on Chassis and maybe you should spend $12.5 on each of your drivers to improve them. You can spend the rest of the money on ongoing improvements if you wish that way the car and drivers will improve over the year.

Team Phoenix would like to spend all its budget on chassis upgrades. Our drivers have complained about the car generating too much drag on the straights, which hampers our powerful Audi unit, and we're not happy at all being 1.5 seconds off the pace.

50% of Benetton Formula's budget will be spent on the chassis upgrades. 40% is to go to the engine upgrades, and the 10% is to go to the drivers' salary. Both of them aren't asking for much.

You have 60 credits so you can only spend 10% of your budget and now you have nothing left. Unless you wanted to spend 15% of 60 which is 9 credits which might make you a tiny bit faster :lol:

All upgrades have been applied, some teams had better results then others. One poor team only had a 0.04% performance upgrade...

ROTT : it is hard but I plump for Leonhard Von Gottorp for coming back down to earth with a bump after early impressive tests.

IDOTT : Dan Unser Jr for finally breaking the Fighting Mongooses domination.

DBTMOTT : Barii Mori still can't improve in the afternoon where as his team mate finds at least a second here and there.

These percentages are the average total of the best 4 times (2 by each driver) of the three test session as a percentage of the best overall lap. It roughly gives the percentage a team is off over the perfect lap time.

Code: Select all: 1 - Fighting Mongooses - 0.03% 2 - Aurora - 0.71% 3 - European ERT - 0.75% 4 - Sunshine Motorsports - 1.38% 5 - Benetton Formula - 1.41% 6 - JLD Motorsports - 1.66% 7 - Chicago F1 Racing - 2.06% 8 - Team Phoenix - 2.10% 9 - Stavros GP - 2.19% 10- EXTRAS - 2.66%

The following will have to prequalify for the 4 remaining qualification spots.

Code: Select all: 11- Foxdale Auto Racing - 2.81% 12- Donkervoort - 3.11% 13- Hungrian Life - 3.58% 14- West Midland F1 - 3.94% 15- Zimsport - 4.04% 16- Welsh Motor Racing - 4.21% 17- Russian Bears - 4.78% 18- Clio Racing - 5.01%

Indeed Kozco is a decent driver and has made the biggest improvement and you made 0.6% on the fastest time, so I think you can prequalify at least a good number of races.

Considering that European ERT had one of the lowest budgets to start with and has two pay-drivers it is amazing to see them this competitive. I should wait for the first race to see how they fare concerning reliability.

Stavros' early performances have been mediocre at best, (no EU jokes, I promise) but improvement is surely on the way. Our drivers have been inconsistent, unfortunately, but have shown decent promise occasionally. Our engine needs an upgrade, so we will spend 20 points on long-term development and hope for our equipment to get better.

Brazilian GP - Round 1/16 - Pre Qualifying Session

Clio Racing have improved leaps and bounds, Koczo coming 4th and Zetticci in a fantastic 7th to be the 3rd fastest team in prequalifying, what ever Zetticci was told seems to have paid dividends. Rhys Davies also finding the extra time needed to make Barii Mori look ordinary. Mann will be unhappy with Schussler who came last in the time sheets and ruined his chances of prequalifying, Schussler was all over the place, spinning twice and even breaking his front wing as he came into the pits. Russian Bears are well off the pace and their drivers need to find that extra speed.

You would need to spend 15% of your original budget ($1300) for long term improvememnts or $195 you have just under 10% so I would suggest spending 2.5% of your budget ($32.5) on yuor drivers instead. and maybe the rest on your engine or chassis?

Spend the $60 (10% of your original budget) credits you have either your engine or your chassis.

The same names are at the top of the time sheets. McReynolds setting the pace early on. Benetton and European were within hundredths of each other. JLD will be asking questions about Gawron who was over 2 seconds off the pace of her team mate. Sunshine will also be asking the same questions. Melrose suffered a horrible high speed suspension failure, but footage showed that he was attacking the kerbs quite hard.

At the other end of the field, Leonhard Von Gottorp found 2 seconds since prequalifying, however the bottom 4 are really tight and Mitchell Macklin will be hoping for improvements tomorrow.

Brazalian GP - Round 1/16 - Saturday Qualifying

Donkervoort will be happy and sad at the end of the session, happy that Mallon was best of the rest in 13th but sad that Macklin managed one slow lap before his engine went up in smoke, leaving him no chance of qualifying. Briggs will be wondering why her team mate the 50 year old Von Gottrop managed to outqualify her.

Apart from that not too many surprises, although EXTRAs will be hoping they can improve or they could end up in prequalifying.

Code: Select all: Theodore Roos - Fighting Mongooses - 1:26.342 Ryan McReynolds - Fighting Mongooses - 1:26.704 Richard White - JLD Motorsports - 1:26.800 Dan Unser Jr - Sunshine Motorsports - 1:26.815 Greg Mitchell - Aurora - 1:26.822 Stephane Nicolo - Benetton Formula - 1:26.879 John Nash - European ERT - 1:26.934 Hywel Jones - Benetton Formula - 1:27.047 Pieter Kickert - European ERT - 1:27.057 Ben Fleet - Chicago F1 Racing - 1:27.508 Daniel Melrose - Stavros GP - 1:27.558 Carlitos Mils - Aurora - 1:27.978

Brazilian GP - Round 1/16 - Grid

So TFM have the front row sewn up seperated by 6 hundredths of a secnd between them, then White is 3 tenths behind them half a tenth in front of Mitchell. Dan Unser Jr is only 3 thousands of a second behind. Then Benetton and European are behind, hoping that they won't run into one anouther. Mils is 6 tenths behind his team mate and will be hoping for points. Melrose did not go any faster after this suspension collapse where he was lucky to spin and run to the side of the track. Fleet is in 12th, again managing to spin at the last corner before he entered the pits. Patrese is a long way in fron of his team mate. Mallon doing brilliantly and splits the two Pheonix cars. Von Gottorp two places ahead of his team mate and will be hoping he has the energy to get to the end of the race, Winson in the Foxdale sandwich and a long way behind his team mate. Blackwell not looking to bright at this track down in 21st. Davies just about a second in front of his team mate but the former champ does not like being this far back on the grid. People will be debating if Gawron is F1 material, although we think it will be a short debate as she is down in 23rd. Koczo did improve on his pre qualifying pace and is in a comfortable 24th. Mori is the last person to qualify with Zetticci a second off him and Macklin not able to improve due to his engine failure.

We predict that a Benetton may win it as we believe that the Engines that Benetton have over 800 bhp and a good start could see them leading before the first corner.

Our drivers have been inconsistent, unfortunately, but have shown decent promise occasionally. Our engine needs an upgrade, so we will spend 20 points on long-term development and hope for our equipment to get better.

You would need to spend 15% of your original budget ($1300) for long term improvememnts or $195 you have just under 10% so I would suggest spending 2.5% of your budget ($32.5) on yuor drivers instead. and maybe the rest on your engine or chassis?

Oh, I thought it had to be 15% of my current budget... Anyway, yeah I would like to spend 32.5 on my drivers instead. The first qualifying of the year has been an extreme disappointment for us. Daniel Melrose is OK after his crash and is ready to race tomorrow.

Donkervoort Automobielen bv wrote:Nice to see the looks on people's faces when they see that a great chassis is enough to be competitive. Even with cheap drivers and a Life engine. Though we must say Mallon has impressed us with his driving skills. And Macklin, well... we forget to put an engine in his car, and were making car noises so he wouldn't notice, and he still manages to get an engine failure???
