Only just Mick. And those Toyota's are making a surge up the ladder... Better make use of that Pole (BAHAHA... I said Pole) you scored for this next race. I wouldnt want to have to disown my team-mate... ROFL.

You take out some of the front runners and I'll work my way thru the field, and a Ferrari 1-2 finish would be nice

Ok I don't get how this works, I signed up in some other game and it keeps saying "this game has advanced a session" but whenever i log into the site i cant find where to race.

All i can see it writing saying " _ _ _ _ has taken over _ _ _ _"

is that all it is? just writing and no actual game lol

You dont actually drive the car, no. Like I said previously, its all about setup and strategy...

Sparhawk wrote:Basically, you set up your car and driving style, qualifying strategy and race strategy. You run practice laps which give you feedback on your setup, and advice to fine tune your settings, and your setup is reflected in your laptimes. Once the game is running, there is a time limit to get all your settings right, then the Qualifying session is simulated, and the results posted. Then there will be a 24 hour timelimit for you to conduct your warmup laps before the race itself. Again you get to tweak your settings.
The race is also simulated, and the results posted, and you can step thru a lap by lap description of what happened thru the race. Then it advances to the next round of the championship where its all repeated.
Things you have to consider with your strategies, are things like Tyre choice, agressiveness, pitstop strategy etc etc.

is it just me or is the team talk thing broken?

Sparhawk · Post by **Sparhawk** » Thu Nov 02, 2006 5:22 pm

Must be just you... Mines working fine...
Maybe your team-mate doesnt want to talk to you anymore... LOL

I'm a bit worried about these Toyota drivers though, they seem to be catching up to me...

Post by **BorepYano** » Thu Nov 02, 2006 5:52 pm

No probs Shaun, 2 races to go in this one, then Ill start another.
On that note, do we want to stick with F1 2006 or try one of the others. I have tried most of the other championships, and the ones like A1GP and Champcars are very much reliant on luck, as the cars are practically identical. While you think that may be a good thing because everyone starts on an even playing field, it just gets frustrating more than anything else. The V8's are OK, but its a VERY long season to play. I havent finished my first season...
My suggestion would be F1 again, and Ill even pick a lower ranked team (not Ferrari or Williams or Mclaren or Toyota) to give you all a chance to beat me MUHAHAHAHA...

i'm just going to wait online 24/7 then rush in to pick a good team lol

Who thinks they are king now???

Cause, I have no chance. Only had one race and one practice session, still working it all out.

Addictive as hell though.

Oh, and I vote F1 2006.

Unless there is a different year of F1???

So when will this season actually finish?

Quite happy to be driving 'just' a Honda at this stage (assuming we stick with 2006). If we go back to, oh 1987, then I will be MOST happy to be driving something with Honda power

Penultimate Race today. So Qual tomorrow, and Final Race on Thursday.

Getting Impatient are we ? I can open another season, and start in a few days when the teams fill...

Post by **BorepYano** » Tue Nov 14, 2006 3:11 pm

yeah do that

it gives ppl time to sign up, so there will be minimal waiting for the season to start

mrx · Post by **mrx** » Tue Nov 14, 2006 5:25 pm

So what is the number?

And yes, just a little! Need some more 'racing' action....

Hmmm....perhaps need to get out more often
