Inspired by SPARC's F1 2010 Time Trials thread, it seems that it is about time we started an equivalent race thread.

This is all theoretical at this stage, but I quite like the idea of running a multiplayer grand prix race at the same point as the current F1 season visits a track, tallying up points after each Grand Prix, and running an OCUK F1 Championship.

I'd envisage that most folk viewing this thread and even perhaps those thinking of participating are indeed F1 fans, and as such would be available on the Sunday of a GP. This would synchronise quite nicely with SPARC's time trial thread, as everyone participating within the time trial would be well prepared for a race at the end of each time trial period.

15 Minute Qualifying Session
20% Race Distance
Equal Car Performance
All Assists Allowed (to accommodate everyone, of course)
Full Penalty System
Tyre Sim on
Fuel Sim on
Full Collisions
Dynamic Weather

Due to the Force India pitlane bug that plagues the game there will be 11 slots for each race.

After a successful first race in Sepang and a hilarious run round Melbourne, this week it's the turn of Shanghai at 18:00 17/04/11

Please don't be afraid to participate - it's more for a giggle than anything else so drivers of all abilities are welcomed - no 107% rules here! :D

I'm just trying to think how it could work with only allowing 12 people per race. How about this.... A league based system (promotions/relegations every 5 races) splitting people based on ability. The time-trials thread is a good indication of ability.

I'd guess if we have more than 12 folk, we can just run separate races split by ability.

I've just edited the main thread to request LIVE tags, could you post your gamertag too please niggyg?

20% race

Too long and it will exclude people with time pressures. I will have to sit the first couple of races out, unless I can use the 360 pad. I don't have my G27 with me at the moment.

Not a big deal if you need to use a pad, is it? It's more than compatible.
 
Thinking that we schedule the race for 4:30pm on Sunday, as that's about 45 minutes after the re-run finishes on the BBC. Will update the first post to reflect this.

Oh, and I still need niggyg's live tag.
 
Changed first post to reflect the fact that everyone wants a 20% race. No need to post a preference from here on out. Could do with five or so more registering their interest so we can get a full race going.

Remember ladies, Sunday 4:30pm!
 
Two more spots for tomorrows race, though we do still need niggyg's LIVE tag! I'll start adding those of you who aren't on my friends list in preparation for tomorrow.
 
Race is still on, try and be on GFWL by 4:30 so we can set the lobby up. We'll only be running a maximum of 11 cars due the Force India pitlane bug.
As a result, one spot (possibly two spots as I don't have niggyg's live tag) remain for the race this afternoon.

Please make sure you have me as a friend on LIVE so that I can invite you all - my tag is ayeeTEE

18:00 would be better for me.. got a shed load of work to do, so I may miss it out... If there is only the force India spare, I'd go in that slot, as I don't think I'll be that competitive..

We'll have space, don't worry! :) Just make sure you have added me on LIVE
 
Sorry for our collision in that Spa race SJCF1, totally my fault - should have let you pass before rejoining the track.

At least my DQ means I can go make dinner! ;) Let me know who won.
