[FICA][B-Spec] 2016 Formula One World Championship--Bahrain GP on 10 April

[KuniKinoshita]

Went on a bit of a buying binge, looking for suitable games for B-Spec. Nothing outside of rFactor or GTR2 yet, and I haven't gotten GTR2 to launch on my computer yet.

I haven't gotten GTR2 to launch on my computer yet.

I've been struggling to get it running as well. Don't know why it won't work. Does it keep reloading the video configuration screen?

No, it says something has stopped working and to send the file to Sim Bin.

Is this the Steam version?

OS? I've got both on Win 10 and 8.1 and they both run decently.

Well so much for putting consistent driver ratings. My AI just plain hates me. Hoping FP2 goes better.

Spoiler: Andrew Draco on FP1 for the Australian GP

"Formula One is a whole new ballgame compared to just about anything I've ever run before. The braking points in particular are eye-popping to me and it's going to take along time for me to really come to grips with the car. The fact that I'm not in last on the time sheets is a testament to Black Rose Racing F1's preparation and hard work."

Spoiler: Black Rose Racing F1 Team Suffer Dismal Opening Day

The first day of the 2016 FICA Formula One season couldn't have gone more wrong for the Cincinnati based outfit. All three of its drivers took in seat time on Friday, only to be looking at the back of the grid going into FP3 on Saturday. "We desperately figure out what is hurting us so much." Evangeline Porter said following a short FP2 where she only ran a handful of laps before pulling it back into the garage. "The car feels fine. It's stable, it's controlled, it's all what you'd want it to be, but it's just so slow compared to the CDR crew and Polaris." Draco, who was ecstatic to get in FP1 to set 58 laps in Adelaide will get to run FP1 again in Ruapuna.

 

[DcrRaikkonen]

Spoiler: A great day for SRF

A Statement from Alex Rivera on FP1&FP2. AR-" We did great today. All of the hard work done by the team back in Brazil has produced the results. Our teammate missed the setup in FP1 so during the break we worked with him on that and it shows. On Virgin, I have to thank them for coming onboard so much!

 

[AudiMan2011]

Spoiler: FP2 Reaction

Much better. The car was awful in first practice, but we've got a lot of the kinks sorted. F1 is a whole different ballgame and is much more complex. It's a bit overwhelming considering the scale of things./SPOILER]

 

[KuniKinoshita]

I said this before Adelaide, and I'll send out reminders. If teams want to use their third driver for FP1 for up to 15 races, send me a message or state it on this thread what races they will do so in.

@Jahgee

So if you drive, does that replace one of me or @Michelin or does a 3rd car get added?

 

[Michelin]

It replaces either me or you @Jahgee. I'm up for that to be honest. Maybe switch per race, one race BKG drives my car and in the next he drives your.

If not, I would be fine with @BKGlover driving mine every FP1 since I'm the 2nd driver.

Sure, we can do that

@DcrRaikkonen

Stefan Montana will be used in the last 15 rounds of season for FP1.

 

[KuniKinoshita]

Okay, so is Glover and Montana switching between the two cars or are they sticking to one car?
