Thanks once again Ardius for dropping by. It's important to get a little practice in before the season gets underway.
It seems to be just me who's struggling seriously with fuel consumption at Bahrain. As a result I have to run a pretty compromised set up and keep the engine in its standard setting which means I could be a sitting duck in the race even if I do qualify near the front.
About pace, I think the gaps between drivers are exaggerated in Bahrain by the extremely long lap time, in the same way that a tenth of a second at the Nordschleife isn't worth the same as a tenth of a second at Monaco. The field will most likely get pretty strung out in this race in particular.

James! Welcome to our glorious championship đź‘Ť
I'm busy tonight so can't practice but i'm free most of wednesday for practice.
P.S. Practice a 50% race and watch your fuel consumption. If you can't find anyone to practice with, just do a single player grand prix and pick the Red Bull as that is the car that the online cars are based on apparently.
See you out on track soon

I'll sign you both up. However, you both need to read the first post very carefully to make sure you can take part in the championship.
There are 3 teams to choose from to be reserve drivers for - Brabham, Brawn and Hesketh - take your pick.
Manios, you only need to post here, there's no official way of entering the competition. Just read through the original post and you'll be fine

Jiu Jitsu?? Since when did you start that?
I'm just back from go-karting at Eddie Irvines, I rather sucked although my pace started coming back to me towards the end. The race ended early just before I was about to get back in the kart (we were doing a team endurance event) with a really nasty accident. One kart actually lifted up over the tyre barrier and collided head on with a kart coming the other way on the adjacent bit of track, mid-air. He did the guys arm in and it was bleeding quite badly but thankfully he looked like he would be all right. Had he been any higher though he could have taken the guy's head off, it was a bizarre accident.
Has to be said though, F1 2010 is way more fun, and safer đź‘Ť I hope we'll all race a lot more carefully than the morons I had to race tonight.

bloody hell, that sounds horrific. That place is too small really, nowhere to overtake. Whenever you're next over here we need to go to Raceland again.
Yeah, been doing jiu jitsu now for 4-5 months. It's great fun and an amazing way to keep in shape. Try to do it at least 2 times a week but work tends to get in the way, like it will for the rest of the week.
Just did a 50% race at Bahrain. Got black flagged after 15 laps lol. I went wide at 6 (that sort of blind left hander) and couldn't be arsed getting back on track so i just cut two corners or so. Wouldn't do that in a real race obv.
Playing the computer is a good way to get a feel of a track again but I did find my attention span wane a bit which led to the mistake. Will be cool to get some real practice races on the go.
Was reasonably pleased with my pace after not playing the game for 3 weeks or so. I'm just inconsistant which should be ironed out come race day. What laps you getting on a full tank with softs Ben? I've no idea what good race pace is for this track but I'm guessing consistent 158s would be alright. Don't really know how fast I can be tbh.

No problem manios, you are now Brawn's reserve driver đź‘Ť
Sure, that'll be the last slot for you then, you've got Brabham or Hesketh to choose between.
I'm afraid since you haven't actually asked for a slot in the championship i'll have to go with mattymc even though he posted after you.

Yeah, that's a full house now I believe. 18 participants in total đź‘Ť
I've just to hear back from mattymc and maclaren_no1 as to which teams they want to be reserve drivers for.
P.S. Should I be the first one to break it to maclaren_no1 that he's miss-spelt his own screen name?
EDIT: Unfortunately it looks like I won't be free to race any time tomorrow after all, but I am free shortly tonight, from about 12:00 if any midnight racers fancy a practice together?

It's me who got all the people who want to be reserve drivers interested due to my facebook page and by the way I have been ill these past couple of days so I won't be on until Thursday or Friday and just a quick question...I can't find the Driving Force Pro anywhere apart from ebay, should I just a Driving Force GT instead?
