I agree. I would much rather race with lots of people but numbers have been very slim of late

majson83 · 04-07-2011, 7:18 PM

well it is summer time and it's been sunny. that affects it (and top gear is back on) so who knows.

WillyJohn · 05-07-2011, 10:04 AM

Im back in the uk this Saturday.

I'd be happy to race Monaco on Sunday if we can get a few drivers.

Anyone else available.

Should be, although i'm going hill-walking this weekend so if I'll be knackered, i don't know.
At the other end of the scale, I might be playing football sunday evening

majson83 · 08-07-2011, 6:53 PM

id be up for it

Rafe · 08-07-2011, 8:35 PM

I can't, I'm at Silverstone.

Look where I'm sitting............

Right over the start/finish

DR Kronenbourg · 08-07-2011, 8:49 PM

I know mate. Thought we would do it once to say we've done it. Bloody expensive.

I'm sure my TT is getting hammered.

WillyJohn · 09-07-2011, 10:32 PM

I'll open a lobby for the usual 7pm on Sunday.

Ive hosted a few open races before but I am not sure of the experience at the other end due to my slow connection speed.
If its a poor experience please tell me.

Not the best of races on my least favourite track but its over and we can move on.

I didn't expect the AI to give us such a thrashing but I have awarded the points as the game presented them.

Delvey you completed enough distance to get some too.

majson83 · 11-07-2011, 3:01 AM

Next time i don't qualify on prime tires lol. I could have won that race. Qualified 2nd on primes and thought i would have a nice long stint. The AI spun me in the 1st corner and i lost my wing. By the start of the 2nd lap i was already 50 seconds off Tue leader and would need to pit 1 more time than them. Bah

Still treated it like qualifying and pumped in some great times, hitting 1.17s on prime tires. Somehow beat bantga and delvey. What track is next?

WillyJohn · 11-07-2011, 7:43 AM

Canada next.

Again not a favourite of mine but I think its a fair number of peoples on heres favourite track.

Delvey · 11-07-2011, 11:22 AM

Absolute terrible yesterday!
Got a good start into 1st corner then bam! Straight into Majson and lost my front wing. Managed to stay in 3rd for the rest of the lap.
God knows how I killed my car, I slightly hit the barrier with my tyre and it was all over,only doing about 70mph as well. Need some practice for canada with my new wheel.
Anyone recommend some settings for the wheel?

Rafe · 11-07-2011, 11:24 AM

What wheel did you get buddy?

majson83 · 11-07-2011, 12:02 PM

Oh i thought it was Vettal that hit me Delvey haha. damn you to hell :-p

Yeh depends on the wheel to the settings.

I saw ya hit the barrier, i had come out the pits to find you infront (yet i think a lap down) and you just sort of veered left into the barrier. very odd.

Apologies for my no-show last night. Hill-walking sat/sun so was chilling out for a bit before heading to bed early

Can't play this weekend as I'm at RAF Fairford for the International Air Tattoo

It was incredible!! i have never seen so many people at a GP before. The support was immense.

I have the pics on my FB. I will put them on my MobileMe gallery so that you can see them.

The trackside objects seem to clip at Monaco.

Last year we raced Monaco three times in the space of a few days with the two Sunday groups and the Wednesday group.

In one of the races as I'm about 3 secs slower per lap than you guys I pulled to the right in the tunnel to let someone through only just glanced the barrier and my car took 100% damage ending my race.

I find it very tempting to try to do it on purpose when things don't go well like last night.

majnu · 11-07-2011, 9:26 PM

I'd be up for this but I've not even taken the game out of the wrapping yet.

Yeh defo will. The funny thing is that I am a F1 follower and have been watching it for years but never invested in a game.
