Re: 1923 Grand Prix Championship - Targa Florio race up
Sunbeam will enter Spa with the same lineup. The only difference will be that Kenelm Lee Guiness's car will have engine 4 in it instead of engine 2 (unless it doesn't cost anything to repair engines or cars, in which case use the second engine.)

Re: 1923 Grand Prix Championship - Targa Florio race up
After a fairly successful first race, Maria Antonietta d'Avanzo has decided to attempt the Belgian Grand Prix too.

Entries are race by race, so you can't enter the French Grand Prix yet, unless you're planning to be away from the forum for a longer period of time. But your entry for the Belgian GP has been registered.
Ah, okay.
Then only register me in Belgium then.

Re: 1923 Grand Prix Championship - Targa Florio race up
Pierre de Vizcaya is still looking for a chassis and would really like to have a French one.
Therefore he approaches Rolland-Pilain with an offer of 22 000 fine francs.

Rolland-Pillain accepts the offer and therefore, we built a RP001 to be send to Pierre de Vizcaya.

Technically, you entered after the deadline, but I'm going to accept the entry, as it took Normal32 so long to confirm the chassis deal.

Belgian Grand Prix - Timed Practice
The Sunbeams lead the timed practice at Spa-Francorchamps, with Henry Segrave setting a fastest time of just over seven minutes on the 15km circuit. Antonio Ascari didn't match the times of the fastest two Sunbeams, but appeared to be the most consistent driver. The FIATs and Bugattis have chances for a good result as well. Pierre de Vizcaya and Georges Mignolet surprised with good times on their debuts, while the new Voisin, apparently down on engine power, was the slowest car on track.

Re: 1923 Grand Prix Championship - Belgian Grand Prix Up
1923 Belgian Grand Prix
Race report:
Starting grid
Starting from fifth, Maria Antonietta d'Avanzo had a brilliant start and went into the lead by the time they reached Les Combes for the first time. There, Kenelm Lee Guinness had to stop his car with a smoking engine. D'Avanzo led at the end of lap one, followed by Ascari and Murphy. Campari, Lautenschlager and Divo completed the top 6. Enzo Ferrari went off the road and had to retire from the race at Burnenville on lap 2. While Albert Divo made his way up to 4th, Murphy and Ascari battled for over half a lap, from Burnenville to La Source, where the american driver finally made the pass. The battle allowed d'Avanzo to extend her lead to over 10 seconds. But then Divo made his way past Ascari and Murphy, and began catching up to d'Avanzo. Jules Goux, who was running well in 5th, had to retire from the race with a broken axle on lap 6.
Divo took three more laps to catch up to d'Avanzo. But d'Avanzo was defending aggressively, and Divo took too much risk trying to pass her, resulting in a spin that dropped him to fourth. Nazzarro took advantage from the situation to pass Murphy. Local driver Georges Mignolet went off at Stavelot, causing significant damage to his Delage, and injuring his ankle. Meanwhile, Divo had passed Murphy and Nazzarro again, and attacked d'Avanzo once more. This time, he managed to pass her, but using the slipstream, d'Avanzo regained the position shortly afterwards. However, this wouldn't last long, since Divo's Sunbeam had the superior pace now. The french driver took the lead one lap later, and this time managed to pull away.
A meaningless, but entertaining battle for 21st between Lagache and Benoist ended after the Rolland-Pilain broke an axle. D'Avanzo lost another two positions to Nazzarro and Segrave. The race was calming down a bit now. There were less battles on track, and the drivers were just hoping to get their cars to the finish now. Nazzarro wasn't lucky, his car failed with just 9 laps to go. Neither was Targa Florio winner Ascari, who had to stop four laps before the end of the race.
Divo, having dominated the second half of the race, won one minute ahead of teammate Segrave, who completed the 1-2 for Sunbeam, securing the championship lead for the British manufacturer. Maria Antonietta d'Avanzo was the surprise of the day, managing to finish on the podium after having held the race lead for almost twenty laps. Pietro Bordino for Alfa Romeo and Jimmy Murphy for Bugatti completed the top 5.

Race report:
Starting grid
Starting from fifth, Maria Antonietta d'Avanzo had a brilliant start and went into the lead by the time they reached Les Combes for the first time. There, Kenelm Lee Guinness had to stop his car with a smoking engine. D'Avanzo led at the end of lap one, followed by Ascari and Murphy. Campari, Lautenschlager and Divo completed the top 6. Enzo Ferrari went off the road and had to retire from the race at Burnenville on lap 2. While Albert Divo made his way up to 4th, Murphy and Ascari battled for over half a lap, from Burnenville to La Source, where the american driver finally made the pass. The battle allowed d'Avanzo to extend her lead to over 10 seconds. But then Divo made his way past Ascari and Murphy, and began catching up to d'Avanzo. Jules Goux, who was running well in 5th, had to retire from the race with a broken axle on lap 6.
Divo took three more laps to catch up to d'Avanzo. But d'Avanzo was defending aggressively, and Divo took too much risk trying to pass her, resulting in a spin that dropped him to fourth. Nazzarro took advantage from the situation to pass Murphy. Local driver Georges Mignolet went off at Stavelot, causing significant damage to his Delage, and injuring his ankle. Meanwhile, Divo had passed Murphy and Nazzarro again, and attacked d'Avanzo once more. This time, he managed to pass her, but using the slipstream, d'Avanzo regained the position shortly afterwards. However, this wouldn't last long, since Divo's Sunbeam had the superior pace now. The french driver took the lead one lap later, and this time managed to pull away.
A meaningless, but entertaining battle for 21st between Lagache and Benoist ended after the Rolland-Pilain broke an axle. D'Avanzo lost another two positions to Nazzarro and Segrave. The race was calming down a bit now. There were less battles on track, and the drivers were just hoping to get their cars to the finish now. Nazzarro wasn't lucky, his car failed with just 9 laps to go. Neither was Targa Florio winner Ascari, who had to stop four laps before the end of the race.
Divo, having dominated the second half of the race, won one minute ahead of teammate Segrave, who completed the 1-2 for Sunbeam, securing the championship lead for the British manufacturer. Maria Antonietta d'Avanzo was the surprise of the day, managing to finish on the podium after having held the race lead for almost twenty laps. Pietro Bordino for Alfa Romeo and Jimmy Murphy for Bugatti completed the top 5.

Wow! I wasn't intending initially to enter this race with Maria when this championship started, but a slightly promising result in the first race was encouraging, and this result may see further entries later in the year.

Sorry, but you currently don't have enough money to repair your third chassis. So only Chassagne's and Guyot's entries will be accepted for now.

Uhm, i have done the math, and i have 3000 + 7250 prize money, and i need 5000 to repair and 4500 to enter 3 cars? What information is missing that i didn't count it? And if the budget of 3000 is already updated with the prize money, how in the hell did that happen? If i remember correctly, i used to have enough budget to remain above 0 prize money not included. Sorry but i'm clearly missing something again. Getting a déja vu here...
I don't know what i want and i want it now!
