3rd GTPlanet Formula 1 World Championship (Season Opening)

[Shaggy Alonso]

You are a legend! 👍

Now our tables will look a lot better lol. I'm not sure that you can edit my first post, or if there's anyway to give you that access. If not, then I guess you'll just have to send them to me after you've updated them each week.

A big round of applause for Ben please, for his excellent work here!

No probs mate, although it was a bit time consuming doing them initially, now that i'll only have to update them each week it should barely take any time at all. They do look smart on the first post.

Oh... I'm sure I've done it before and I've stopped several times before making it back to the pits.

Really? That's never happened to me. I'm beginning to wonder if there is something in the way everyone drives that saves or consumes more fuel. To be honest I've always assumed that the game never went into that much depth with things like fuel consumption, and that it's more or less universally the same for each driver - but who knows? I really wish things like this were clarified in the manual.

Indeed it is,
I really should have used Excel but I was too lazy, and as usual, laziness creates more work.

Funnily enough, I have Excel, and it probably would have been easier, and I have done night classes on microsoft office, and the job i've just applied for requires I use Excel, but even still I just couldn't be bothered trying to remember how to do it all! So instead I opted for copying and pasting everything and colouring in individual pixels instead because I figured it'd be a great laugh 👎

Lmao, I think I need one of those. I still am yet to have a consistent team mate I might have to open up the position soon, it's getting ridiculous, especially with Red Bull gaining so many points each race!

What happened?

 

[crooky369]

Why does it has to happen to me

Is that the reason you haven't been turning up or have you just got better stuff to see and do?

No idea what ur talking about, but my PS3 just died and i need to wait like 2 or 3 weeks atleast to get a new one. So take it whatever you like. 👍

 

[Kakundoo]

Aww man, that's a real shame Appie . Especially for Jordan who won't score any points at Silverstone. This could be a turning point in the Championship....

Btw Fishfash, Rob may be able to turn up, but his internet has been dodgy lately, so could you be online at 9pm tomorrow? Then i'll give you the details if he doesn't show up. I think this is an important race for both Championships, so I really need a team mate lol.

Sorry Kak, I will be watching the X Factor, now that the live shows have started

Dude, I know what its like. Hope you can sort it out ASAP, its been a headache for me.

Thankfully, after being PS3-less for a month, I will be up and running again tomorrow 👍

Good to hear Ardius, maybe you could drive for Brawn if no-one else turns up lol, just like in the times of Jaguar

EDIT: Don't worry about it Fishfash, although personally I never watch X-Factor, I really don't like it lol

Thnx Ardius and its just all of a sudden and i really hope i can get this over with quickly 👎 .

Won't be happening unfortunately, 9pm is just imposssible for me to do. Plus I really can't commit to any partiuclar game for X amount of hours a week because I've just started my final year at uni and I'm going to be focusing on project, my freetime is going to vary from day to day and I'd rather be organising myself around my work rather than my freetime.

No problem, I completely understand. I haven't had much time to practice either due to College, so I can sympathise.

Maybe i'll have to start a young driver programme lol, it might just be time for me to go scouting the F1 servers for some reasonable talent that I can mould into the shape of a decent, RELIABLE, team mate lol

That has to be a kick in the teeth for rob. Clearly a lot of unrest at the brawn camp unlike REDBULL looking at a strong run out at silverstone for both drivers.

Probably is a little lol, but tbh, he hasn't performed to the expectations. He told me that he would be reliable, and he hasn't turned up for the last 3-4 races!
I knew he wouldn't be the quickest of people, but Brawn would have more points if he had at least turned up each race. I know some of them weren't his fault, but a lot of them were because he just couldn't be bothered.
Yes, Red Bull are very strong right now, which is why I'm looking for another driver. I need a racer who at least turns up every week, even if they score minimum points, it all counts.

After I finish some assignments tomorrow, I might go scouting the servers, either that or i'll just practice like hell so that I can steal a few points from Red Bull

 

[kingmart1n]

We are looking for a 1-2 at silverstone are pace looks ok. I have some very good drivers on my friends list but red bull can't give information out sorry kakundoo.lol. Just look at what ive bought in 1st mark and he is one hell of a driver( probably up there with gyles), followed by ginty and he has been remarkable.

 

[Kakundoo]

Lol, I have a lot of information myself King don't you worry about me and good luck in getting your 1-2 tonight. I'm sure it will be one hell of a battle between me, you and Ginty since we seem to be on the same pace. I'll give it my best shot to come out on top as I always do, but as long as it's a clean race, then I'll be happy with my result.

 

[Peter]

Turns out that I won't be able to make this race either, I have to go out So, it's all in the hands of my team mate crooky.

The others my be in for it aswell kakundoo i only know us 3 are on the same pace

 

[HEMIata]

The others my be in for it as well kakundoo i only know us 3 are on the same pace

Well I don't know what the pace is but I probably won't be on it. I'm in the process of rearranging my PC/Entertainment/Play area It's something I've been wanting to do because I've been a good boy this year and I'm going to ask Santa for a 50 inch LCD for Christmas ........... Of course that will go in the den where we watch TV but that will give me the 32 inch we presently have in there for my entertainment area which currently only has a 23 inch What will a bigger screen allow me to do? It will allow me to see you guys farther down the road when you build those big leads I may even be using a controller which I haven't done in like ten years so watch out!!

 

[GINTY72]

i can't wait for this one really looking forward to it see you all there. and may the best team win ( come on REDBULL AVIT )

 

[Kakundoo]

Lol, with PJ out of this race as well, it could be Red Bull as the only full team on the track, depending what Duck decides to do.
All I know is that Red Bull are fast becoming the team to beat because of their consistent results, and after this race they will definitely be in the hunt for the Constructors title, being able to pass Jordan in points this race and depending on where they come on the track, one or maybe both of the drivers could close up on Shaggy, which would make it interesting in races to come.

 

[HEMIata]

Kak, you need to put you finishing behind me for taking me out and give me my rightful podium as a third place finish behind GINTY and kingmart1n. I have a meeting this afternoon and two more races tonight so it will be Monday or Tuesday before I can get the video up. The game put me a lap down at the start. Later.

 

[Kakundoo]

Good race. Usually I would give my congratulations to Ginty on his first win, however, there is a bit of a dispute, which I will go into in a moment.

Not a great qualifying for me, only managed 3rd with a time far off my best. I got passed King into the first corner and made it stick. The slip streaming behind Ginty caused a lot of annoyance for me because I couldn't get my usual rhythm going. However, after about 4 laps of this, Ginty made a mistake on the exit of the last corner and with a bit of slip stream, I was able to pass him down the straight. Going into turn one, I clearly had the lead, but then Ginty hit me and spun my car, I felt the impact but luckily there wasn't too much damage apart from somehow my wing had gone yellow. Because of this, Duck and King were able to pass me putting me into 4th, but Ginty never waited for me. Both King and Duck made mistakes on different laps, allowing me to get back to 2nd, but still Ginty never waited.
I also forgot to pit on my second stop and so I ran out of fuel, causing Ginty to be a whole pit stop ahead of me.

The rule is that you must let the person back through, even if you don't think you've hit them. I know there was definite contact.

My best lap was a 1:22.9xx and great lap King, I'm guessing that was from an outlap + slip stream

Provisional Race Order:

1. Ginty
2. Kakundoo
3. Kingmart1n
4. Fastduck
5. HEMIata

Fastest lap: Kingmart1n - 1:22.1xx

What do we do about this problem? The rules are pretty clear after all and I remember Shaggy having to give his place back to King a few races back.

EDIT2: I do remember accidentally spinning you Hemi, but I'm pretty sure you were a lap down weren't you? Because this happened no where near when the pit stops were taking place....

 

[GINTY72]

sorry Kak my car didn't touch yours i thought you spun in front off me thats why i carried on and i was on the line sorry mate

 

[kingmart1n]

Nah kakundoo HEMlata had the glitch mate

 

[Kakundoo]

Nah kakundoo HEMlata had the glitch mate

Ohh man, I can't believe that. That actually sucks. If I had known, then I would have given him the place back of course. It's a little different to the situation between me and Ginty, so what do we do?

If I gave the place back to Hemi, then I would go from 1st to 4th, and Ginty would go from 2nd to 5th, which is a little harsh. King would win, Duck 2nd and Hemi would move up 2 places.

I know that Ginty has to give the place back to me, it's the rules, and not a complicated one lol, sorry Ginty, you did put in a great race performance . But to lose so many places does seem very harsh, for both me and Ginty, but to do nothing would be harsh on Hemi

But that would be unfair on HEMlata applying one rule that advantages you and not taking the same action for yourself
