2nd GTPlanet Formula 1 World Championship (Finished - Season Over!)

[mofongo273]

Last night informal races were a good test. Specially on a track that I'm not familiar with. I found out two things: 1) Penalties must be on, and 2) collision must be on.

 

[Sumpington]

Yeah at magny for sure. The 1st chicane after the main straight and the longer sweeping chicane before the last bit are too easy to cut with low kerbs. Those also both seem to be the key to a good laptime.

FastDuck-for Gods sake SLOW DOWN
That is one swimming duck.



Hey Lennon why you taking so many pit stops...LOL

only took 2 (lol) , your Ferrari had to have been running the final laps on fumes only (the fuel cell was getting sucked in because of no gas) , and the cords had to have been showing through on your tires. still got P3 , it's in the points. Nice practice run guys , it was fun. 👍

[Ardius]

Hi All,

I would like to take part in the PAL races if possible please.

Thanks.

Uh oh,
Of course mate, I'll stick you back in your old team with your well deserved number 1 👍

Righto, so is Sunday a preferrence for you? I might leave it as Grand Prix on Sundays, and practice races in the week.

This is one time I'm glad F1CE is "Region locked"!

 

[Sumpington]

So NTSC Guys are we still doing 20 laps practice at Magny tonight at 9pm Eastern? My plans were canceled due to all the snow we're getting.

Yes thats the plan,we'll see who shows and go from there. Same channel same password.

 

[Nicksfix]

I also have the NTSC version of F1 lying around somewhere 👍

 

[mofongo273]

is it just me or the PlayStation server is unstable today???

It keeps on quitting on me

ooooooooh a good match-up in the making hmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[DaddyVDUB]

ooooooooh a good match-up in the making hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Has the Challenge been thrown down?

 

[Sumpington]

RESTART! Everyone wasn't there yet!!!!

 

[Nicksfix]

Seems like there were some server issues on the NTSC side for an in-formal run @ Magny-Cours tonight. DaddyVDubbs got booted , Mofongo273 could not connect , game had a few lags here and there @ nordkurv.

SO :

STARTING THIS WEEK WITH THE BAHRAIN PRACTICE RUN

ALL NTSC DRIVERS PLEASE REPORT TO ROOM " R130 "


Please report 15 minutes in advance as well so all can be accounted for , especially when the "real season starts" , this will be for scoring purposes so we can see who is present and who is not and make life a litte easier for all involved.

Item #2 :

We all know the F1CE servers lags sometimes and we see funny things happening on our screens.The scoring of points will go as follows,and this is how we do it on our Wednesday league as well.

*****The final points total will be recorded from the final game screen*****

even if you think you ended up 3rd and others say no way , I lapped this guy a couple of times and he should not even be in the points , well , we have to deal with this , it is an issue and we are aware of it , but it is beyond our control , we are not the server , glitches do happen.

So once again :

*****The final points total will be recorded from the final game screen*****


ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE POST THEM OR PM THEM TO "YOUR" ORGANIZER ON THE PAL SIDE OR THE NTSC SIDE.

We will discuss issues and keep everybody informed as to what is going on.

Your help is deeply appreciated by Ardius , GT4Genius , DaddyVDubb , and myself THANKS GUYS !!!!!

 

[DaddyVDUB]

Very Good post Lennon,seems connection on F1CE servers is a work in progress. If any NTSC Guys want to run some races Wed just PM me or PS3 message me I will be off work tomorrow so I will be playing around quite a bit.Also anyone having any trouble with Pit Stops I reccomend Lennons tactic,setup an online race & just do a pitstop every lap all you have to do is hit the pit request button,really helps to learn button sequence,penalty lines etc.

Also just in case any of those that are not as familar with F1CE for the purpose of practice it is reccomended to ONLY practice online because everything feels & behaves differently.Not to mention that the cars are totaly different setup wise.

Are the real races still going to be Sundays? Not sure if I'll be around Friday.

 

[Ardius]

*****The final points total will be recorded from the final game screen*****

Just to be clear though: AI positions will be discounted, for example:
1st [AI] Schumacher
2nd Ardius

I would still be awarded 1st place even though I did not finish the physical race in 1st place, the AI's only use is as a function for late joiners to still have a chance to race a bit.

Also, we realise that some tracks have weird glitches where they place random players 1 lap down from the very start, so if this happens to you, we will try to notice, but otherwise please inform us when this happens to you. Just a warning: this nearly always happens at the Nurburgring for some reason.

I'm planning on holding Grand Prix on Sundays and practice races during the week. There might be times where will hold some Grand Prix on weekdays but I'll try to stick to Sundays for the most part.

 

[Shaggy Alonso]

Good news, I've ordered an Ethernet cable today so I'll be be able to participate around Christmas time.

 

[DaddyVDUB]

Hey Guys I'll be on later if anyone wants to do a little practice @ Bahrain.

Now thats one I've yet to encounter , but will keep eyes open for this , thanks for this one Ardius.👍

Hi,

Any of the NTSC guys around Friday at GMT 23:00. After the PAL Bahrain practice I hope to fire up the NTSC copy of F1CE. It's never been in the PS3 so I hope it works

Bring it on. No fear here!!!

 

[Ardius]

Sorry PAL guys, but I've caught flu and I feel like crap today (just managed to get my two programming assignments handed in to a decent quality - my lord that was an effort), so I won't be hosting unfortunately, can someone else host? Or shall we just re-schedule for Sunday or something? I won't be hosting on Sunday, but it might be easier for some of you to make, I don't know.

 

[Kakundoo]

I'm willing to host it

 

[Ardius]

Ok, I'll send out the PMs then and I'll add you as a race organisor if thats ok? I still need a more permanent host for the PAL races as both me and Genius can't reliably host all the time.
