2011 Nations Grand Prix

Nice cars chaps, agree Tomas, that would be awesome!

Tomas Torasen · Dec 29, 2010

Yep another quick thought that just crossed my mind while looking at a previous replay of our Suzuka race was, we should have every participant of every race to choose at least one moment of the race that they want to have in the replay. It can be a terrible crash, beautiful overtaking, crucial moment of any kind. That will make it so much easier for the one making the replay video too that might have missed many of the interesting moments.
Kind of get a system for it already before we start the first race.

If we could just get a commentator for the replays after each event it would be just fantastic.

Anyone here up for it? Or maybe RD staff have already thought of it?

I second that Tomas. It would give that final touch..

Tomas Torasen · Dec 29, 2010

I almost forgot, Steffen. I changed the car liverys again

That flag looked very strange to me, graphically.

Heres the new front:

Also a new "team logo" or something on the side. Not sure about that one though:

agree to the league rules: yes

I will bet from now that no one from Libya will join, so is it alright if I miss a race or two? If it's only about the points; the KS2 still spins at start up, this will give you a clear idea about my driving ability :lol:, so I don't mind losing points as long as there are no other issues regarding a country missing a race or two.

Libya is spelt like this in English. 'Libia' is also correct, but it's not English. I'm being pedantic right? lol

Tomas Torasen · Dec 31, 2010

I see we will have realistic weather, which surely will create some interesting drama =)

But, how far ahead will we know which races will be in rain? I havent played this game for more then almost two weeks now so making setups will take some time for me.

Jon Denton · Dec 31, 2010

Surely if it is "realistic weather" we will need to monitor the weather forecasts in the region in the days coming up to the race to see what it might be like.

Potentially, we will have no notice of the rain and have to drive on our intincts, much like real life.

Of course, with Suzuka on 27th Feb, Spa on 27th March and Brands Hatch on 10th April we've got three races with a very high chance of rain!

Btw, has anyone considered the GP4 converted Silverstone for the England round, it's a better and more accurate track than Brands, which is not so good imo.

You have to tell me if I'm going over board with this, Steffen

Added new replacable front wing:

Hopefully this will make the other racers more nervous!

Abdulhaq Elhouderi · Dec 31, 2010

how do you guys take the screenshots shown in the skins section (F11 then F12?)

I just numbered the skin to see which part is which, 1 2. These are nothing like the screenshots the guys post. eg. how can you control the height of the shot in doom mode (F11).

Tomas Torasen · Dec 31, 2010

that is actually not a bad idea, to let the real weather decide

But in real life they have a race team with engineers and staff the constantly monitor and anticipate weather changes, and also the team can change car setup in the right way.
A little time before the race would be really helpful. I'm guessing the KS2 with a dry setup and low downforce will be nearly impossible to drive in the wet in this game.

I believe you have to press C for crouching.
