Hey guys just create a f1 thread

Yeah, I think it's time we go ahead and start a thread over in the Codemaster's F1 forums, and just remind everyone every now and then of the new league on here so they know it exists.
 
VELOCI_2NR
Can somebody qualify me tomorrow morning? like around 10 PST? Lets see if I can remember how to drive my Arta :P

I've forgotten what my arta looks like. :lol:

Sheffield Hallam lol. Engineering has a massive shortfall of employees lol. You're pretty much sorted for a year in industry then often that company employs you when you graduate.

British Motorsport creates more money than the British music industry.

How everyone can't find jobs it's cos they ain't looking in right places. Manufacturing firms are massively understaffed and they love graduates/students it's great. I have some experience using lathes and working with a F1 team supplier :D.

One way or another I will make it as a F1 mechanic.

Getting. On topic. It's real easy to lose a second in the last sector here. There's 1 quick line which is obscure and hard to get right lap after lap.

I can get 37.8s regularly, but any lower will be hard.

Sheffield??!! Thats like the 4th best in the country for engineering. No effing way man...

Applied to Sheffield Hallam, Sheffield, Loughborough and Oxford Brookes. Oxford was best course, but the uni was just missing something :/. With Brookes Fernando Alonso sent some Spanish students there to study Motorsport engineering lmao. And Lotus have 20students from Oxford Brookes hired ATM.
Loughborough as all too plastic based for me so didnt accept that offer. And I didn't meet grades for Sheffield so ended up at Sheffield Hallam.

Doing automotive engineering :D! It's gonna be a good 3 years lol.


Just went on Fuji. And wow I had massive understeer. That's what I get for going on the tail happy F1 2011 yesterday lmao.

I intend to qualify today, in like 6hr time

Anyone up for some practice?

Yeah, let me know where you guys end up discussing F1.

I might be able to qualify you Veloci, but any time earlier would be even better :P

I want to qualify today as well , havent even done a lap at fuji yet.

Ill be on later . Next 3 hrs i think
 
Just pointing out something that can be seen for yourself, but the new update next Tuesday will change the amount of aerodynamic drag when adjusting wing settings. Hopefully this means there will actually be benefits to running less downforce now, and it's no longer fastest at every track to just run as much as possible.

Yeah noticed that. Also want to know what they mean by 'endurance race' when referring to the fact the tires will last longer.

I wonder if they just meant races in general that use tire wear, it seems strange that they would only apply it to single player, but it would be nice to have a race on mediums that last longer than 10 laps.
 
Can anyone qualify me? I finally got the car dialed in. Running 41.6

I don't wanna run anymore D:

EDIT: Nevermind, found alefin :) What a swell chap, that guy

POST QUALY EDIT: Damn. Choked with a 42.0

Qualifying Times @ Fuji F

skengdigi, Calsonic Impul GT-R, 1:37.742
VELOCI_2NR, ARTA Garaiya, 1:42.025
 
The aero I can live with. Could affect race setup more, as can add more on because of the draft. And take some aero off for qualifying.

This ride height thing tough. Sounds like its going to completely mess up the setups. :S.
 
Wait theres a new update next week??!!!

EDIT: Wow, that HSV's a beauty. Really wanna drive her. Tyre wear for online still the same though. They really should have fixed this. Aero drag finally.

Yeah just saw a video of it in a race at motegi if i am correct and the sound is epic
 
-Sidenote-

I'm putting together the F1 post now.
Will post when it's live

I hope they represent the aerodynamic levels of the HSV more accurately than the current Super GT's in game. At minimum, all the Super GT cars should have downforce levels equal to standard FIA GT cars like the Viper GTS-R, Vette C5R etc. IRL these cars produce downforce rivaling if not exceeding LMP cars. Notice the Premium Castrol Toyota Supra JGTC car has a higher downforce points than the newer SGT's. Kind of backwards. Sorry for my rant. I'm leaving now ;)

Hahah. Thanks for the input :D

Definitely see where you're coming from

I won't be on PSN for a bit so I can't see PSN messages, but if you schedule a time on here I'll try to make it.

A very valid point. Racing cars in general in this game are horribly unbalanced, with the older models constantly being faster than the same car that is 5,10 or even 20+ years newer. The '03 NSX is a prime example, as JGTC cars in '03 were not faster than 2008 Super GT cars. Another example is how the LMP cars all the way back from 80's and even the Toyota 7 are just as fast, if not faster, than the R10, R8, 905HDi, Pescarolo's etc. I just don't understand why it's so unbalanced with certain race cars.
