suddenly I am dreaming .The Honda empty slot cld perhaps in a later update be used for importing a BRM P 261 for Stewart, with an edited BRM.wav for the sound ??

Hi Michel,

again I have a question that only you may know the answer. I did the BRM P261 for Stewart at Le Mans for the murasama slot and I have to choose for the tyres.From what I know  BRM in 1967 were in general using the Goodyear. However, the P261 was modelled with Firestone at Montecarlo and I can imagine you blessed that. What shall I do for the French GP? Keep Goodyear for the P83 and Firestone for the P261, or Goodyear for all?

When you find the time to look at it, I will appreciate your answer so I can post this option.

Cheers

Hi Gianfranco,
BRM never used Firestone Tyres, It runs with Dunlop in 65 and 66, with Goodyear in 67 and 68 and in 69 It comes back to Dunlop.

Hi Irridux,

sorry you are wrong!Have a look at davef's posted video about the 67 French Grand Prix, at 1:31min you can see that Stewart drove Firestone tires!

You are right Silence!
Probably, He has borrowed the Tyres from Reg Parnell brother Team for this race...
Or, maybe, He shares his car with Chris Irwin's P261.
Check the nose of the P261...  
Anyway, the official BRM Team used the Firestone Tyres only on 67 P261.

Many thanks to all for the kind help. I quote here the "Motor Sport" report of the time: " Not unnaturally most people went faster on the second day of practice and it was amusing to see that BRM had snatched the V8 Tasman car away from Tim Parnell and Irwin, to give it to Stewart; and given them an H16-cylinder car in return. It was even more amusing when Stewart failed to equal the time set up by Irwin the day before, and Irwin improved on Stewart's time with the 16-cylinder car. (What a lot of old proverbs spring to mind)   "

I add also a nice photo which shows behind Ligier the orange nose of the P261 of Stewart with the BRM badge. The mentioned movie was also very  instructive. The car is in post #1 with Firestone tyres.

Irridux, Silence, thks to you I get unemployed


after a quick check, we can confirm the P 261 used Firestone at Monaco and Bugatti for Stewart; But the Reg Parnell car seems to have switched from Dunlop ( monaco, Courage) to Firestone ( Irwin)

Beginning the season on Dunlop,they were undecided on what to use; even at Kyalami, they tried Good Year for practice.
The work team used alternatively Dunlop then Good Year ( U.K GP) Dunlop ( German)  and from the Canadian GP until Mexico Good Year only

I don't know why, but the GPLEA BRM P83 have a second windscreen, only visible in cockpit view, which wasn't there in reality, at least not at the french GP.

fajanko made a file to delete the second windscreen.
