It's really great idea! My input for track selection - Spain, Spa, Suzuka, Singapore (?).

However, it will be bloody hard to balance the race. I don't mind to race with 2013 performance but the only input we will have is the final standings.

Trying to get some fun back into the f1 2013 scene.

exactly as it says in the title, no restriction on assists as all are welcome.

Will race if we can get 10 drivers

The price of Internet is double here in the states than in Europe. You guys get fast speeds for cheap. For me to get 25 - 30 mbps down and 12 mbps upload, we pay around $83 a month. Such a rip-off.

Sweden - fiberopt. 100mbs upload/downl about 20$ a month...

 

[Peter Hooper]

How many races have you missed?

Both one so far.Karls next lowest score is 8 while Mitch is 10 so at the moment that leaves Karl at +2.. see even when he loses he comes out on top

Chris Hempsall said to include the cup guys in the champ standings.
its was discussed beforehand in the stewards thread about not including the champ guys in the cup standings and I thought it was clear that the champ drivers (who classified as champ drivers at the beginning of the season because they were faster) would not be taking points away from the cup drivers.[/quote]
Thats fair enough then, my view was that was referring to now and again drivers rather than Mark who wants to race here full time.

 

[Richard Alexander]

Do you still have the full video on your hard drive?

Yeah, do you want to see something?

 

[Peter Hooper]

Peter why not host the next few races! you have a good connection, the host never gets kicked its worth ago

Cheers Gav, unfortunately I think it might be a bit risky to be honest. As we have no idea why I am getting discoed I can't rule out the possibility of a problem my end and it would not really be fair to have others suffer as a result of that. Plus I generally just jump on accept your invite and then leave it until we go to the quali as I invariably have things going on at that time (trying to usher people out the door for instance ) especially with the early starts.

Both you and Nick have good connections but the signals in the lobby were still nowhere near as strong as we were getting two races ago. I just think something has changed, I have had a couple of XBL updates recently and the deterioration has defintely been since then. Wondering whether some update to improve the gaming for the XBO has had a adverse effect on the rest of us.

I think it was because Imola was rescheduled after getting postponed and replaced the 90's Silverstone race which is now at the end of the season instead. @Robert Waddell will correct me if I have got that wrong.

You are right on the money Peter.

You seem to really like these cars. Do you want a permanent seat here? You would be paired with Ben and know your car assignment for every race on the calendar, which goes into September.

We basically alternate Sundays with the Cup league and start a few minutes after Champ ends, although some weekends, I think, we are the only game in town. Regardless, it's the most FUN racing in town and a super great group of guys.

 

[Daniel Smissen]

yeah count me in, i prefere 90's but i can go 80's

edit; I've just fully read the car mixing and maxing stuff. looking forward to it

So good to have you. Be sure to read through the posts on how these cars are considerably different than the modern counterparts, both in how they handle, how they should be set up, and how wear /fuel rates differ. The turbo lag is the first thing I noticed, but then found it actually helped my driving style.

If you can at all manage no assists, that's what the league was based on, but I'm sure we could add auto gears until you get comfortable (@Carlos Jimenez hear that?). Also, the original intent was to run no HUD...and quite frankly, that's the purest way to enjoy these cars...but most of us have found we need one or two things on screen for safety and realism (except for Gavin, who just chucks them all on, like a FOX NFL football broadcast ).

last couple of nights I've been running round in time trial without assists and Ive been doing already haven't even given thought to fuel/wear. have my daughter tonight but will give it a look tomorrow

Hints: Ignore your engineer...tires last much longer than game thinks or modern car equivalents; and also fuel can be used more aggressively. Setups are very different, but in specific areas, such as gears. These babies have so much power, they have to glide more, instead of dart around like waterbugs. They are beasts if you are too aggressive on the loud pedal.

Also, forget wing damage...it does not happen. But flat tires do instead, if you hit hard enough. If you can beat the A.I. on "Legend" at any given track, you will be competitive, although there are some top notch drivers in this league.

this setup thing is a concern, hopefully in the set up sections they got a classic section i find i glide more in the 80's then 90's the grip and power is great, make striving the 2013 feel awful

Yea, I still maintain Codemasters used different coding or physics engines to model these classic cars. The feel much closer to what I have experienced in real cars (not that I have been in one or anything), and while they are less forgiving, they are more enjoyable if you get it right (in the groove).

My router has been playing up these past few days so I might struggle to race. Haven't been able to sign in since yesterday so it's not looking too good. It's really disappointing but if I don't race I hope I can make up the points elsewhere.

 

[Rob]

Looking forward to this one now after last nights disaster.... @Robert Waddell now Daniels signed up for the race it needs to be decided on what car he takes so he can get some practice in If @Chris Benham is now back in the fold with the change of race times that leaves me as the only one without a team mate as it looks as though Gareth is out as far as I know.

I thought Gareth was undecided. If he's definitely out, I think you would be paired with the next signee, which would be Ben, no? Daniel would then have to wait for another person to sign, if that happens. Also, don't know if Chris is coming back, but hope so. If not, you and Gavin could make a pair and we would have four complete teams, with Ben and Daniel making up their own.

OK Jeremy - all you pal!
