team woodcar - virtual formula 1 racing


	The team woodcar was born in August 1995 for competing in the "Little Formula Racing Series"- LFRS. This is a virtual, 'arm-chaired' Formula 1 Season using the GP2 Simulation Game from Microprose.
	The team is owned by Ralf Ernst and its headquarter is Aachen, Germany. This is near the border to both the Netherlands and Belgium. So there are 2 GrandPrix circuits within the reach of 75km, Spa-Franchorchamps and the Nürburgring. But the real Home-GP is, of course, at the high-speed Hockenheimring in Germany.
	The highlights in the history of the team have been a place on the podium at the German GP in Hockenheim, and an invitation for the 1996/97 final Master-Race event. In both the drivers and team standings team woodcar has been able to finish inside the Top 10 of class B. In the 1997/98 season team woodcar finishes on 6th place in the class B final standings.
	In the current season team woodcar takes a pause for inspiration. For this reason driver Ralf Ernst joining into the Finnish team Karjala-Racing.


	This season the woodcar will drive again with the incredible overdrive engine. The team took the option for renewing the contract for a second year. It makes the team really competitive in the championship. The engine is well known for its reliability, and it is nearly maintenance-free. This allows the team to concentrate on setting-up the car, and the drivers on driving it ;-)
	The chassis of the woodcar done several tests in the wind-tunnel. Finally a high-nose design is choosen. The monococ is tested in crash-tests as extremly robust, too. It is produced in a carbon-wood sandwich style. So there are no risks for the drivers in case of accidents.
	The car is painted in a very woody design, based on the last seasons painting of the car. Now there are added the logos of the 3 virtual team sponsors and, of course, of the team woodcar. Download the new design of the woodcar, including the driver's helmet designs as a zipped BMP-file.
