I always remember the dreaded ‘spin off, but do not alter gauges’!<br /><br />I really must track down a copy (no pun intended....).<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-28692467891006775962021-04-23T20:45:45.000+01:002021-04-23T20:45:45.000+01:00This brings back fond memories of playing F1 with ...This brings back fond memories of playing F1 with Laurie (Bryson). I never once beat him - how he used to chuckle when he caused me 'tyre wear one, brake wear one'. To this day I firmly believe that he learned to drive his van by playing F1.<br /><br />IainEBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10441335989845488102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-69435541783026941092021-04-23T19:59:54.778+01:002021-04-23T19:59:54.778+01:00Hello there Peter,

Back in the day I used to play Waddington’s Formula 1 almost as much as Campaign - even as far as organising a world championship with some friends. <br /><br />I will take a look at your blogpost so don’t be surprised if you get a belated comment!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-54422310204328586932021-04-23T19:33:06.344+01:002021-04-23T19:33:06.344+01:00David

I cannot speak for the game play as yet but it looks like a lot of fun with all the right piratical elements.<br /><br />You could always use Galleys and Galleons.....:-)<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-2532109485166815112021-04-23T16:56:57.339+01:002021-04-23T16:56:57.339+01:00Hello there Mr Manley,

I would be keen on the 50s and mid 60s - at least you only had the number on the car to worry about!<br /><br />I would be ingested to see what you print out and will probably now need to watch ‘Rush’ again. Le Mans is a really iconic film but I have not seen the new film about the race.<br /><br />Many thanks for the email as well - I reckon a quick retype and away we go!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DC<br /><br />David Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-81000269866513752302021-04-23T16:47:23.896+01:002021-04-23T16:47:23.896+01:00Oh bugger, I’m really tempted to buy oak and iron....Oh bugger, I’m really tempted to buy oak and iron. Every month I think right that’s it...I’ve got everything I need now model wise...and then I see something shiny!

Steve Ward wrote the rules (they are similar to Waddington's "Formula 1" and Avalon Hill's "Speed Circuit". I typed them up for him but lost the files (although I was sent a set of photographs of the pages recently). Steve produced a set of 1980/90s F1 cars as well as some older ones (60s?) in white metal, but I never had any of those. <br /><br />There a great many STL files for suitable cars from the 30s onwards out there on the internet, I'm tempted to print out a set of Hunt/Lauda era models for my old copy of "Formula 1" (gives me an excuse to have a couple of 6-wheeled Tyrell P34s for Schechter and Dapailler's cars :)David Manleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15618853603602429096noreply@blogger.com
