I have to change to manual somehow! I was pushing like crazy to catch croky, before he had some problem with the pits and i was consistently getting low 1.32s which was the fastest lap of the first practice and I dont think I have any chance of getting a 1.31 anything if I dont change.
 
I would estimate that manual gears will knock off up to 2 seconds per lap once mastered (depending on track) so that should give you low 1:30's at Bahrain GT4 genius. :nervous:
 
I can't decide if I should switch to the g25 for f1ce or stick with the controller. Gearchanges would be much easier but unsure if steering is as fast?
 
I used to use a Controller and recently switched to a wheel. I am probably around upto 2 seconds slower with a wheel than a controller, depending on the track. But I think with more practice the wheel is defo faster. 👍

I would never go back to a controller now even if I don't improve on my times, it's so much more enjoyable. I want to enjoy my gameplay rather than trying to get fastest laps etc, it's all about enjoyment and fun. :)

I actually bought a Driving Force EX and playing F1 with that wheel was pants, it was really bad, maybe there was a fault with the wheel but I couldn't drive in a straight line. I got rid of it and bought a DFP, and it is 10 fold better. I have heard the G25 is the best wheel you can use for F1CE.
 
Anyway, back on topic, lol.

When does everyone want the race to be held? Same time? I'd prefer it a bit later, but of course the majority rules. Also, which day?

I'm thinking tomorrow at 22:00 (or later if possible).
 
It should also be noted that this will a race where the results count, and its in everybody's best interest to turn up, if there drivers who are unable to race at the times we've had so far, please speak up, so we can arrange a time when can all race. Otherwise, it might be best to give up the driver slot for someone else (although....we haven't exactly got anyone clammering to get in on this yet, and theres still one driver to fill in a place, so theres no pressure for active drivers).

So far, Gnobody and Appie haven't turned up, shall I open up their places? Or this just because they are away at this time?

I'll PM everyone about tomorrow, to give some notice.
 
I got your PM, that time suits me, I hope. I'll still be using auto ofcourse since I havent had time to practice so I think this one is yours fishfash, it'll be closer around other courses though!
 
Ok, well, ive only had 4 people reply total, and one cant make it, one isnt racing for a while and 2 of you can make it.
Which leaves 4 people who have not replied and I have no idea what they are doing.

Theres little point in having a 3-person race, if we can just have it next week and have 4 people (or more?).
 
Hi,

I think the best thing to do is set a confirmed date and time and stick to it, and if people can't make it then so be it. I guess there was not enough notice given yesterday for people to attend today's races, and not everybody checks their messages every day :)

Anyway's I'm around tonight even if it means you want to do another practice instead. 💡

Thanks.
 
Hmmm, well, tonight was sort of dodgy for me anyway, so I think I'll reschedule it to next week....but also, we will hold a Malaysia Practice race and the Malaysian Grand Prix next week! I want to get this championship moving, so we will have both of the first two GPs next week:

Bahrain Grand Prix
Tuesday 8th July
22:00 UK time
20 laps + qualifying

Malaysian Practice Race
Wednesday 9th July
21:00 UK time
20 laps + qualifying

Malaysian Grand Prix
Wednesday 9th July
22:00 UK time
20 laps + qualifying

I may still hold a practice race tonight, for Malaysia. But if that happens, I wont know till the time, so any of you on PSN tonight, I'll notify.
 
Okay, np, i'll just watch 'House' with the wife and complain about the new events on GT5P later ;)
 
That should be ok with me Ardius, I dont know about Appie, I doubt he will turn up because he hasnt been on this since the 26th and I havent seen him on the PSN recently, maybe he took his holiday early.
I'll leave it until tomorrow and then I'll try and get someone else to team up with me.

Ok, while you're at it, could you try and find someone to fill in the Aguri spot?

That leaves Gnobody to reply, I'll PM him and if he doesn't reply, then I'll open up his spot as well.
Edit: Ive checked his online activity, and he hasnt been on in 5 days, so I will drop him for now and re-instate him if he returns or replies.

Ok, mindwise is now officially no longer a provisional driver for Williams and is permanent, I assume this because neither mindwise or chemicaL have said otherwise.
Appie and Gnobody are now provisional drivers and may be dropped, so any drivers watching this thread who are thinking of participating, speak up now if you are interested in the places.

J-PaP
times are good for me :) I may miss malaysia practice though.

Good to hear, should be a good turn out, the way things are heading.
 
Hi Gents

I have replied to Ardius's PM, been working away.

I would like to be re-instated if poss and all the above times are fine with me, I'm off work for 2 weeks from tomorrow and will be getting loadsa practice in, I need it!

Will also be up for any extra 'unofficial' practice races if anyone is up for it..

Well, that is good news, i wish my news was just as good, but i'm going to have to to let the let the idea of regular racing out of my head 👎

As much as i need the practice, i'm having too hard a time making it to practice and races.
It seems i have to settle for a lot less racing 👎 , i have to drop out to make room for someone that is able to show up. 👍

I'm sure the season is going to be a blast guys, i'm certainly going to watch the progress.

Are you sure? I can always move the times if need be, Id personally pefer it if we could move the times later.
But if you're sure, I have to find yet another driver for this....

Hi Ardius,

No i'm not sure ;)

That's why i thought it would be best if i just pull out, i thought that would be the most fair to my teammate as well :cheers:

But i happily function as a stand-in once a replacement is found.
And i will try to fill the seat untill we do find a replacement.

I'm not sure i will make it to the race tomorrow, i will try though.

Thanks for your support :cheers:

Well, you shouldnt feel that you have to stay because of that....we're having trouble finding more people as it is, I dont think we'll find a replacement any time soon. So you may be standing in a long time.

If you really cant make it, then I think its best to take you off, otherwise it'll just be a nightmare trying to see if you're joining or not every time.
 
Just had a quick run trying out manual and using the g25. Definitely need a lot more practice so will be sticking to the controller for this race.
 
haha, yeah, I was just doing the same. I cant get my time down any more, but Im satisfied with 1.34/33s, seeing as I havent had the game long.

Will be sending the PMs with the game name and password in a sec.
 
Got your PM, I should be on time, but just started downloading this new software thing, hopefully it will be finished by then. I've had no practice at all, very busy with just starting new work, so I wont be any better than the last night, this weekend I'll try to change to manual though.
 
Games up now if anyone wants to join, the race isnt going to start for a bit yet though.

uh oh, looks like some PSN trouble...(i assume thats why fishfash and gnobody just got disconnected?)
 
This update is only at 14%, it'll probably jump from 55% but it will be 10.15 at the earliest when I join sadly, sorry about this you can go ahead, I'll do a late join and battle my way towards the front.
 
You sure? Were still waiting for a couple of people anyway, because the PSN seems to be playing up again.
 
So sorry, but this is only at 32%, go ahead start the race if you havent already. I'll late join. :indiff:
Thought this was suppose to be a small fix, sadly I was wrong.
