pretty ****** quality I know.

In Monaco there's obviously going to be problems with drivers getting in the way whilst your on a hot lap so can I just suggest that we split the session in the 3 segments so for example, for the first 5 minutes 3 drivers go out and set fast times and repeat the same for the next 10 minutes?

Nice idea Tom, only problem I can see with that is each driver will only have 5 minutes then which is more or less only 2 hotlaps.

 

[Tom]

Yeah true but it's better than having drivers blocking your hotlap

 

[Mutu20]

Na, the emphasis of this championship is realism. if you get held up you get held up.

I imagine Shaggy will be of the same opinion.

Actually, a permanent slot is available if you want it. I noticed you said you're new to this so i'd just emphasise that it's very important that you're familiar with all the rules and understand what it means to race fairly and cleanly. So long as you are, then welcome aboard 👍

You can take Mattymc's seat as he has pulled out of the championship so you will be driving for Hesketh and your team mate will be kcheeb

Yeah, Monaco can be tricky for this sort of thing but it's a part of qualifying that we all have to deal with. It's a quick lap so you've effectively got more time to get a lap in compared with the previous rounds (plus you've got the run off after the tunnel which you can drive straight over saving time on the in and out-laps) so I can't see it being that big an issue.

When do you guys usually practice?

I know I usually can't make the races, hence when I don't really want to sign up officially, but I'd love to get in on some sessions with you guys if I'm at home

 

[Akmuq]

On Ultimate-Racing Series F1 a few months back, we had our Monaco qualifying in the wet. I don't know what you are worrying about. It was a strange quali. Me and two others taking position 1,2 and 3 by 1.5 seconds and others back being to cautious. They were right as I crashed when on a lap that would have put me pole.👎

Usually they're pretty impromptu. Just check this thread regularly as we usually advertise it in here.

You didn't see my pictures then!

This is for anyone who is using a G25 in the championship

I'll have to check with one of our members who's likely to give you his slot because of other commitments. However, are you sure you're really able to attend this on top of your GT5 series? Also, is the race time suitable for you? Where are you from?

I'd love you to join, it's just I hope you'll be able to attend nearly all the races 👍

I'm very impressed with the video you made over at your LeMans series thread (i'm partial to a bit of Justice myself also ). If you were to join, would there be the possibility of filming your races as well?

Thanks

I'm in Eastern Standard time, so that means the Sunday night races are mid-afternoon my time, which would be perfect. I could commit to at least the next 11 races, after that I might need to step away for a week due to moving apartments, but would be back after that.

Sorry about not getting back to your PM; I had it open to reply and then got bogged down with work this week.

As far as that video, it was made using the crappy camera on an iPod Touch, so there's not really anywhere to prop it up to record entire F1 2010 races, unfortunately. I'm counting on F1 2011 having some kind of multiplayer replay system, hopefully anyway.

Anyway let me know if there is a spot or waiting list spot open.

I'd just be happy to get in on some practice races as well.

Nice one, i'll add you on PSN. You may have DonkeyFuzz's slot as he has left the championship so you'll drive the Mercedes and you'll be in team Benetton and your team mate shall be DarkPSI.

There is no race this Sunday because of Easter but we'll resume the following week.

No worries about the vid, that's only a bonus but if there ever is a way of propping up your camera to record that'd be awesome.

Welcome to the championship anyway mate 👍

ATTENTION!

I'll be on holiday in Spain from 2nd - 18th May so obviously won't be able to host the races on 8th and 15th May. If anyone feels they're able to step in to host please let me know.

 

[MikeTheHockeyFan]

Cracking, looking forward to getting on track with you guys. Are there any plans for a practice or open session this weekend for those who want to get the car out of the garage for a quick spin online? If not we should get something together, not interfering with any delicious Easter dinner of course

That's a good idea. I'm free today until about 17:00 UK time for a practice if it suits anyone? Probably won't have any free evenings until the race unfortunately.

 

[pipeslice]

I'll be free tonight for some practice from maybe 8:30pm onwards

 

[Tom]

Well PSN is still down and maybe James could step in and be the host as he is your team-mate and you know him really well?

 

[Mutu20]

Yeah, I'll be happy to do it. Thing is, I'm off work at the moment and I don't know my shift pattern very well so i won't know until I get back to work if I'll be able to race myself. Ben, text me on Monday during the day to remind me to check.

 

[HamiltonMad8]

When does the season start because whilst i have been away i have been enterd into an Online Racing Championship. If it is before the 7th May it would be great, But if not i will have to give it a miss.
Sorry
Its a shame because i would love to take part in this but i fell the championship i have enterd is better for me because of my ability and i wouldnt want to slow any of you down.

If it is possible could you put me on the reserves so i can pop in if i dont have a race when needed ?
Cheers 👍

 

[Mutu20]

We've already had three races, next weekend is Catalunya. Reserve driver sounds like the best bet to you since you can't make every weekend.

If the weather in the UK keeps like this I'm not sure if I'm going to get much practice in. Beautiful over here at the moment.

 

[Tom]

It is brilliant! 👍

 

[AliT12]

It is brilliant! 👍

Even here in Wales haha 👍

Will do, cheers.

OK, James is right, it's probably best if you're a reserve driver. I'll make you Hesketh's reserve, they only have one full time driver at the moment, kcheeb. Just so you know kcheeb, if you want HamiltonMad8 to fill in for your or to join you for a race it's up to you to let him know of the available slot if he hasn't already himself. I'll obviously suggest it if I notice as well though. In fact, as things currently stand there will be a free slot in the next race as Mattymc has pulled out. I'll advertise the vacancy.

Will do and welcome HamiltonMad8! I'll add you when the PSN is back up.

First time in months I've checked this forum. Wish I'd noticed this earlier, I haven't played F1 2010 in a month or so but I took part in 3 of the GTP Championships on here which were great. Saw that there was a slot available, I'm not sure if this would be allowed but as I'm a bit rusty and the race is tomorrow, could I take the slot and skip this week's race so I could get a week to get over my rust? It can be hard with only a day to get back into a game lol.

Next race is May 1st, due to Easter. That should give you enough time

Shaggy takes care of the participants, he'll be along at some point to give you the 👍 or 👎

 

[Mutu20]

I'm sure that'd be fine Jordy. As Kcheeb says, next race is 1st of May so that should be enough to get some practice in for Catalunya.

Nice to see we're getting replacements for the people who dropped out.

Nice one Jordy, welcome to the party 👍

You'll drive for Hesketh, your team mate will be kcheeb and your reserve driver is HamiltonMad8. You can pick between either the Mercedes or Lotus to drive.

 

[jordy7777]

Looking forward to it I'll take the Mercedes and I'll add my team mates when I next get online.
