Everyone still up for this?

Should be ok here, got to get a few practise laps in with the 360 pad though, not sure how good it is with F1 2010. Glad there's no 107% rule!

Hope everyone enjoyed the real race today, without giving anything away, it was a good one.

Im still in, and as for the race it was a good one

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

Race will be going live shortly - still got places available so any last minute entries feel free to add me.

Sorry guys, my performances were absolutely woeful, I'm ashamed! I can't drive for toffee on the 360 pad, just oversteering all over the place it was horrible. That and a combination of getting nerfed and driving with front and rear damage just made it a pretty frustrating experience. I was practising for Sepang before I joined you and my quali time was 8 sec slower than my practise time! Couldn't get clean laps at all.

I'll be up for it again next week, if only just to make up the numbers. Still won't have my G27 by then, but should for the race after that I think.

In the mean time, anyone got a decent setup for the 360 pad? I have a feeling some of my G27 settings were still active and it was a real fight against the car!

Thanks all for an amusing couple of hours!

Sorry I missed that, was at my gran's.

Everyone else have fun though?

alex24 · 10 Apr 2011 at 19:41

Despite my floundering, it was quite a laugh. I recommend everyone join in next week for the Chinese GP!

yeh was good fun, make a change for me to race agains other people rather than on my own. keep an eye out for me if im on at anytime and give me a shout for some mp action

aeT · 10 Apr 2011 at 20:03

I'm surprised you aren't lambasting SPARC after he took you out on the first lap of melbourne!

mercyless · 10 Apr 2011 at 20:03

Had fun despite crashing in both qualy sessions, i also quit by mistake in Sepang race so missed out there but looking forward to the next time.

lol its ok im quite amazed i didnt do the same :eek:

sort of did in the last corner though, my tyres were red and really shot but i was trying to get a little bit longer out of them but it went badly wrong

pimper · 10 Apr 2011 at 20:22

Who was in the Merc in Melbourne? All I saw at the braking point for Turn 2 was the merc shooting past and taking me out

SPARC · 10 Apr 2011 at 20:23

It was good even though I'm ridiculous at times. Destroyed the car on the first race then got DNF in the second for pushing so hard I skipped almost every corner

I was up to a 60 second penalty, the game must have had enough of my and I got disqualified lol.

tummelv · 10 Apr 2011 at 21:34

Lol sounds like the race was a bit of a trainwreck.

First race was quite clean, second one was messy

tummelv · 16 Apr 2011 at 13:49

So is this happening tomorrow as well?

SPARC · 16 Apr 2011 at 14:40

I would think so. Add me again I fancy a go

aeT · 16 Apr 2011 at 19:39

Still on tomorrow provided we have the people.

alex24 · 16 Apr 2011 at 19:40

As far as I know, I should be available, so count me in too. Managed to tweak the 360 pad settings a little that helped a bit (but not a lot!) by increasing the steering linearity. Tricky track is Shanghai.

EDIT: I'm no longer able to make it today. Enjoy your race!
