For
@Andrix, who asked.
Every time I do one of these, I learn a little more. That's my story, I'm sticking to it.
Didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped, but the model (optimised for online racing, I believe) doesn't do it any favours either.
Special car, only because of the personalities involved. Schumi never raced this car, only did a test at Mugello in July 2003.
He was testing the F1 Ferrari, and the Autodelta team were sharing the circuit for the test day, and so there was a 156 livery-ed up for Michael. Gabriele Tarquini, who was leading the ETCC championship at the time, was on hand to "introduce the German ace to the secrets of the 156 GTA."
The story goes...
Tarquini did some laps, and then Schumi went out, and immediately went
"more than a bit" faster.
Now, Gabriele is a lovely chap (as we all know) and a damn FINE driver, but he IS Italian, and there were some impassioned remarks about engine settings having been altered "out of regs". These cars were massively sensitive to ignition, cam and injection timing, and these items were heavily policed.
Schumi, ever the gentleman, didn't even raise an eyebrow, simply asking the mechanics to review all settings to regs, AND to Gabriele's satisfaction.
That done, he got back in the car and went even faster.
Ya just don't tug on Superman's cape.
