Updates to championships

The Ferrari pack gave us 3 (or more,depending on your imagination skills ) amazing cars to help in the recreation of real life events. The Ferrari 330 p4 didnt race alongside with the John Wyer version for the GT40 or with the Porsche 908;in 1968,the FIA change rules,and the big 7.0 engines were forbidden.as a result,Ferrari withdraw from the WSC 1968 season in protest,and in '69 came back with the 312pb (wish we had got that one from the voting ).so, the 330 p4 only raced in ´67.there were other 330 racing before 1966,but those were 330 p3. So,my WSC is now a 1967,1968 and 1969.Again,the drivers/car number are the ones that raced at Le Mans,the most emblematic race of the calendar.Also, in 1967,there were alot more GT'40s that in 1969,and its possible to recreate at least one team (Scuderia Fillipinetti),and the others are very similar

Ferrari 330 P4

Livery nº / Team / Drivers
19 / Ferrari / Gunther Klass; Peter Sutcliffe
20 /Ferrari / Chris Amon; Nino Vaccarella
21 / Ferrari / Luduvico Scarfioti; Mike Parkes
24 / Equipe National Belgue / Willy Mairesse; Jean Beurlys
The other numbers are from other races. Back then,cars switch numbers beetween races

Ford GT40

Livery nº / Team / Drivers
14 / Scuderia Fillipinetti/ Umberto Maglioli; Mario Casoni
15 / Ford France / Pierre Dumay; Henri Greder
yellow 9 / Claude Dubois / Willy Mairesse; Jean Beurlys (1968 season,the same drivers as the ferrari nº24!)

1967 F1 season

Ferrari 312

Livery nº / driver
20 / Chris Amon
18 / Lorenzo Bandini

Lorenzo Bandini died earlier in the season in a horrific crash at Monaco, so he was replaced by Ludovico Scarfiotti,Mike Parkes and Jonhatan Williams,so those are also valid options for drivers.as for the numbers,like i said,sometimes cars changed numbers between races,so they all do.

With a Ferrari in the field,those red liveries of the Lotus are now free to impersonate a new team The team Charles Vogele, with the driver Silvio Moser,is a good choice.

Early '60s WSC
Cars: Ferrari 250 GTO,Porsche 718

The Ferrari 250 was a popular race car in this era.the 250 gto had a moderate sucess in racing,but other 250 versions were more victorious.Nonetheless,it entered in many races and was part of the WSC in '62 and 63 seasons.According to the patch notes AC gave us,there were 36 gto builds.we have 36 liveries,so its possible that they all belong to a real cars/team?i only recognize a couple of them from Targa Florio and Le Mans,and its really difficult to get pictures from pre 1965 from the source i use for this stuff,so i will only do the ones i know.
As for the Porsche,as much as it fights bravely,it gets monstered by the Ferrari.But,amazingly,it did a 1-2 at race at Seabring,won the Targa Florio and lost the title for Ferrari by a single point (all in 1960).So,the liveries

Ferrari 250 GTO (mix of Le Mans/Targa Florio)

Calendar:same as the 67-69 WSC.Since the Ferrari is in class GT2,it had more races than the others,so you can do races at Highlands (20 laps) for a replacement of the Trophée d'Auverne at Charade circuit,Silverstone classic for the RAC Tourist Trophy (23 laps) and races on italian tracks for the various trophies.

1979 WSC

Cars: Porsche 935 moby dick,porsche 911 rsr 3.0

Great job, Thank you very much for doing it, I will enjoy racing with them.

 

May be I did not posted it correclty so I repeat it.
Hi All here down I reproduced the Italian GT Challenge Champioship made from 3 Classes: Super GT Cup (Lamborghini Huracan ST) - GT Cup (Porsche 997 Cup) - GTS Trophy (Cayman GT4 CS). In the case of GTS and GT Cup there should be few other cars like Ginetta G55 and Ferrari 458 Evo but these are not in the game than I excluded them at all also because in any case there are only 16 cars available. I hope it could like to you.

 

Great,thank you so much! after im done with my championship,i will do this one!

 

F1 1956
Car: Maserati 250f 6 cillinder

This is a good championship to recreate,because lots of teams actually used the Maserati 250f,so a few of them are spot on The liveries tend to change in some races (the maseratis had red cars,and sometimes the front end was paiting with blue,or yellow stripes.And not all liveries in AC are from the '56 season.For exemple,Scuderia Centro Sud is the livery 16,24 but could also be the nº23,28,because they used that exact livery that season.But i focused only in the '56 season,that with that,i could atribute the 23,28 to another team.Its hard to find colored pictures from smaller teams.For the 1956 season,i could match all liveries,but for the 1957 season (see below) i could not do thatAlso,if you think that in the in 60's the drivers switched teams very easily,well,the 50s were even more liberal with that.The fact that sometimes a team had 3/4 cars in the field also doesnt help.Again,i'll choose the drivers that did most races or the more famous ones.
Livery nº / team / drivers
01,03 / Ferrari / Juan Manuel Fangio; Peter Collins
6 / Maserati / Stirling Moss; Jean Behra
05 / Gordini / Robert Manzon; Hermano Ramos
16,24 / Scuderia Centro Sud / Harry Schell ; Luigi Villoresi
21,27 / Vanwall / Maurice Trintignant ; Mike Hawthorn
23,28 / Ecurie Rosier / Louis Rosier (only driver)
20,56 / Alberto Uria / Alberto Uria; Oscar Gonzalez

Calendar:
Races in the 50's lasted 500km.like i did in previous f1 championships,i do 10% of the equivalent laps.

Highlands (50 laps); Black Cat County ( 8 laps); Spa (5 laps) ; Highlands ( 7 laps) ; Silverstone 67 (8 laps); Monza 1966 full course (8 laps)


F1 1957
Car: Maserati 250f 12c

Livery nº / team / drivers
02;283 / Maserati / Jose Manuel Fangio; Jean Behra
14;29,54 / Ferrari / Mike Hawthorn; Peter Collins
15 / Vanwall / Stirling Moss; Tony Brooks
22,52 / Scuderia Centro Sud / Masten Gregory; Jo Bonnier
18,30 / Jo Bonnier / Jo Bonnier (only driver)

There are still a couple of liveries to use, that dont match with any of the most important teams.back then,some teams were a "one race" team.Some rich guy that wanted to compete in the local race so he would buy a car and a couple of mechanics,that kind of stuff.The most important teams/drivers are covered,so the rest is up to you

Calendar: same as the 1956 season (except for Spa,no Belgium GP in 1957 )


90's Endurance
Cars: Porsche 911 GT1 ('98 season); Mclaren F1 Gtr (95-97 seasons); Ferrari F40 Step 3 (as a Ferrari F40 LM,from 1994 season).Drivers/teams at Le Mans.

39 / Bigazzi Team SLR / Nelson Piquet; Johnny Cecotto; Danny Sullivan
24 / Gulf Racing / Mark Blundell; Maurizio Sala; Ray Bellm (repeated driver)

Calendar:
The calendar is more random than the other championships i made, because this championship is actually 2 in 1: the WSC in 94 and the FIA GT in 98. Highlands Long,as always, replaces Le Mans,with 24 laps. Most races of the FIA GT were 500km races, and Le Mans was not part of it (an unofficial race of some sort).i do this:
Nurburgring GP ( 9 laps); Silverstone (9 laps); Highlands ( 8 laps) ; Brands Hatch (13 laps); RedBull Ring (12 laps); Laguna Seca (probably 12 or so laps - wait for the next DLC )

 

This is amazing

 

Very nice stuff!but arent you missing the Nurburgring in the 50's f1?

 

Oh my God,yes i am,sorry about that guys,and thank you for noticing.yes,in both championships,its missing a 3 lap race at Nurb,before the italian GP.the 1957 was probably the greatest drive/win ever in a GP,by fangio!

2. Barcelona GP (35 laps)
3. Mugello (30 laps)
4. Monza (30 laps)
5. Black Cat County (25 laps)
