Monaco was hell to drive in those powerful cars, but to survive the entire race with a full grid of humans when over half the field retired, was such an accomplishment, one felt as if they had landed their first solo flight or given birth. Silverstone, for instance, was basically flat out for most of the circuit. The ‘79 mod pretty much ticked all of the check boxes with how the cars performed and what the tracks of that era were like to drive. The Legier might have been the most balanced of the bunch, but could be beaten on fast tracks. The Ferraris handled incredibly well, except when they were upset, and then lost all grip instantly. The Renaults had massive power, but horrible turbo lag. It was a time when ground effect was heavily used, but not completely understood. I probably missed a few and undoubtedly slaughtered the spelling of most their names. Villeneuve, Scheckter, Andretti, Lauda, Piquet, Regizzoni, Tombay, Hunt, Arnoux, Fittapaldi, Rossberg, Jones, Depailler, Ickx, Laffite, Mass, Stuck, Patresse, Watson, Daly, Reuteman. Did you ever try the ‘79 season mod in rFactor? All of the cars and tracks.
