The effective quark interaction in a relativistically covariant constituent quark model based on the Salpeter equation is supplemented by an extra-phenomenological flavour-dependent force in order to account for some discrepancies mainly in the description of excited negative-parity Δ resonances. Simultaneously an improved description of some other features of the light-flavoured baryon mass spectrum and of some electromagnetic form factors is obtained.
