someone join Honda and steal my setup

we have to stop Saytan and his Schumacheresque domination of his team mate (1st and Last in practice currently) ;D

As Sone and I have been discussing, this could get quite interesting a few races in, so long as everyone remembers to play.

Stoofer, us Renaults will be giving the 'raris a run for their money. We should all unite again them

The FIA won't be here to save them now

Saytan · 23 Jun 2006 at 12:21

it emails you every session change, so there's no risk of forgetting about it

For sure, I'm hoping we can have a proper battle on our hands.

the quality of the team doesnt make that much difference

i run BMW in another private game and i'm coming into the final race of the season in a "winner takes it all" situation with a guy in a honda. the mclaren and ferrari are nowhere to be seen

Cool. So there is a chance we could see a Super Aguri on the podium? I'm guessing it's all down to how the car is setup and who has the best strategy?

stoofer · 23 Jun 2006 at 12:27

so how come Stupid Aguri is such a challenge?

does it make the car harder to setup?

I took a risky stratergy and the risk ate me up and spat me out the other side.

if all the cars were setup to the same level and on the same strategy, you'd probably see a pretty realistic order

the person doing the setup work is more important than the car itself to a point. i've yet to reach the point where the car itself makes a huge difference to my speed, (this ferrari is perhaps a tenth faster than the BMW is in my other game)

to put it another way

even as i am now, nearly a second quicker, i'm still the best part of 3 seconds off the lap record...

no where near a second, only 8 tenths

Now must get some work done!

We waiting for the boys at work to get home and sign up? Probably better with more people.

Sounds like a good plan

Don't restrict it to just us who get to browse at work (or just are lazy students

)

Saytan · 23 Jun 2006 at 13:23

ok, i'll make 9pm the cutoff, if it isnt full by then

spike's · 23 Jun 2006 at 13:47

eek, don't cheer too loudly... you haven't seen my rubbish 1st run :eek:

molinari · 23 Jun 2006 at 14:09

Did my runs and got down to 2.4 seconds behind the leader

.
Is there a circuit guide to give you an idea on what the circuit will race like and hints on a god setup? What about a guide to how changes in the setup will actually affect the car and the other areas of the car setup? That would be handy because at the moment a lot of it is guesswork for me.

fuz · 23 Jun 2006 at 14:13

Go to car setup then click engineers advice, I guess this gives you a rough guide of what to set it up like. As a general rule, downforce is the main factor between tracks such as monaco and monza
