I don't understand this track. Just can't get the consistency. 33.8 is my best quali time which is miles off. I think I'll just have to rely on my race pace again so hopefully that's up to scratch.

We can make our own 33.8 club

Good stuff. We don't have a race for 2 more weeks as we're on an Easter break so you'll have your license by then.

Just out of formality, am I allowed to sign up for races? I haven't officially been approved, then again I don't know if I need to be.

All the permanent seats on the Cup grid are taken at the moment, but there are seats available in Champ.

I'd rather not. The pace in Champ is set incredibly high and eventhough the game should've been delivered last Friday I don't even have the game yet, let alone the pace to compete. I was considering signing reserve on cup. Not taking the first come first serve, but rather the seat (if any) that remains available on the grid after everyone's slotted in.

What a race! I had a lot of fun!

I finished 10th, but I had two 10 seconds penalty that cost me a place in the end.
The first incident was at the first corner; It was my first race so I wanted to be super safe in the first corner. I believe I brake fairly early, the braking was fine, but as I turned in (still under braking) I still managed to hit the guy in front of me, Jeremy Sheppard. It was a little tap (bubble lag), didn't lose any of my front wing, but sadly he spins out. I don't know if he had to brake for another incident in front of him or something, because it was weird?


The other incident was with TheKartBandit. I had a different strategy than everyone, starting with prime and going for the prime again for the first pit stop. I knew many guys were faster than me and it was no need for me to defend, by defending I would have lost more time anyway. So I was prepared to let other racers pass, it wasn't a free pass, but I wasn't going to fight for it. So, during the whole race probably around 30 guys passed me (some twice because of the pit stop strategy). Everything was fine except one time in turn 1 with TheKartBandit. I am very sorry for the incident and I hope it hasn't affected is race too much. So, I was on worn tyre, lean mix and everything, I knew he was faster than me, so I really wanted to let him pass. This is why, as we arrived in turn one, I gave him the inside line, brake earlier than I normally do, but when I turned in he was already wide and I hit him. I believe TheKartBandit didn't have a great corner and the incident was inevitable, there was nothing I could have done. On many occasions I let other guys passed in that same way, but this time it didn't work.


I also had another incident, but this time I was the victim. I can't remember who it was, but I think it was with a Sauber. He tapped me from the back at turn 8, I hit the wall and lost my front wing. He made a move when I wasn't expecting it, so I believe it is partly my mistake. Knowing he was going for a move, I would have let him more room. If he had a penalty, I believe it would be fair to remove it.


I'm looking forward, to hear their perspectives (Jeremy and TheKartBandit). I let them judge if I deserve those penalties.


* Sorry if my English isn't that great, still learning it.

I don't even recall this happening mate, so no problem

 

[Dan Hemmings]

Stewards: Please review below evidence to have this in-game penalty removed

- Time period: Lap 22
- Drivers involved: myself, F1--Dragon (secondarily Dan Hemmings)
- Any and all damage incurred in the incident: Lost 6th place finish due to penalty. No other time lost
- Approximate time lost: 10 sec to overall race time only

Description: Was racing with Dan who had DRS on both straights and was approaching a slow car off to the right (much slower than should be traveling imo). I went to move left to avoid the slow car and I somehow got a penalty. At the speed I was traveling, had any of my right-side tyres made contact with the slow car I'm sure I would have been in the wall.

If this wasn't the cause for the penalty and it stemmed from the next corner incident, then this was severe lag but the penalty was issued before the corner so I would guess it came from the first or I suffered a serious lag spike.

The lag I think you actually hit me on the straight on my screen, but it didn't effect me much along with the half spin after so I'm not bothered mate.

You're in the wrong league you pesky Canadian bugger With your consistentness ud easily be top 6 in Champ Plus would give the Geordie a race for once im sure his bored of being lapped

Ya, so then just keep signing up as a reserve and the first spot that opens up permanently will go to the guys that are waiting in line......

blast this stupid game. if we could all be on the same grid that would be the best.
The only way to simulate that would be to turn the weather and the SC off and just use peoples race times to rank everyone..... but i don't think people want to turn off the weather and the SC....

The races will still not truely be the same. People in a 12 driver race have to deal with less traffic than those in a 16 driver race. Though the results will definitely be more comparable.

 

[Tobias Jansen]

That's a bummer :/

Ya, but the lobbies could be set randomly every race to mix things up. It would be fun (for a while) but i'd miss the weather and the SC more.

That's a really good idea.

What do you mean? It's only for one practice race to rank people.

 

[Timo Hoogendorp]

We did qualifiers to rank people for certain competitions. As to make the speed difference between the front and back less big.

 

[Frederik Dupond]

We can make our own 33.8 club

Yeah let us

I know. I was asking why he would miss the weather and SC if it's only for one race to rank people.

Because he wasn't talking about ranking, he was talking about a merger of the two competitions and a way around the 16-player limit from Codemasters. ^^

Gotcha.

 

[Mikey Woolford]

We only need to bring you over to the dark-side Mikey as others have already done.

Wouldn't want to show you up, my friend

 

[Jamie-Lee Mayers]

Yeah let us
