Today I had a great time racing w/ DOUQA and hm66 as well as peter until he diapered and akmuq was soon to follow, but Yamahakid showed up and made for a great practice sessions for the Melbourne race.
When I get home I will look at let you know. I will be online around 12am EST. Tomorrow I get off work early and I will be practicing a lot.
I am thinking that your practices should be in a Test n Tune flavor. They should be qualifiers and 10% races so that people could adjust their cars in the qualys and then test their setups in a short race format. After a while maybe run some longer races without qualys like 20 %ers or 30%ers to get used to the drop off on the tires as well as the fuel runs.
Tire simulation off ... I did some online racing with Drumc0de and I pitted 3 laps from the end to get fresh rubber and light fuel... I hit a 1'26.8 ... so turn tire sim on and you can kiss goodbye a 'casual' 1'25.It was online. And yes, they were equal. I surprise myself, I never expected to ever be this fast so soon. Guess i'm just naturally good at F1 games.

I'd be interesting in a second division, if the start time was later, maybe 8pm. So i make sure the kids are in bed. And during the week, so the mrs can watch the bloomin XFactor
Yeah, that was a bit disappointing. I was well off the pace. Ran 1.27's in TT's and then jumped in and was in the Virgin (?), completely different machine to the Ferrari. Couldn't hit the apex's. Even after switching to the Ferrari i couldn't replicate those times.
Same setup, not sure why it felt so different online?
Sorry it wasn't a bit more competitive for you waynz. You seemed to have things well sorted.
Sorry but I don't think that there is enough people for the 2nd devision. I don't know about your chance of being a reserve. But if you become a reserve. you need to bookmark this website.

edit: I'll ask grafpt for you.

Just watch the video of Richard Hammond trying to drive a F1 car.. It's like that.. To get optimum performance you need to work the heat into the tires.DOUQAIts as Waynz says. Tyre sim affects the grip enormously, even when you are on fresh rubber.Add fuel sim and grip declines further. TTing is running without either.
Try running online with tyres and fuel off, to me that feels just like TTing.
Peter is really good at this game already. I'm going to do some racing practice today. Hopefully some people will join me.
I just wish I can have the Ferrari on Sunday. I don't really like the Toro Roso's handling so much, it feels like the HRT and Virgin, but a bit more responsive. But I hate how it looks from overhead![]()
The Williams looks good from the overhead view.
