Pit radio is closed

Spoiler: Next Lap

 

[Milos]

damn, I thought I told him to pit

 

[Jimlaad43]

We're boxing twice again Nick. First lap put on new Wets and 90 fuel

 

[TTupsi]

And we're not even halfway there yet

Lap 1
Both BOX, new wets and 57l

Lap 2
Both BOX just for repairs

And PLEASE, no more mistakes!

 

[Sasha Jednak]

@Omer Said , what happens if we get 3 retirements during safety car. Does it starts 2 new laps under safety car?
I mean both Grips will run out of fuel and Vettel will destroy his chassis (I realize 100% how everyone except Toby and me felt last season), on lap 11. So does that mean that SC will be on track until lap 13 or lap 12?


Lap 1:
Ric: steady and low revs into the pit. Wet tyres and 86lit fuel.
Vettel: give all and high revs

Lap 2:
Ric: safe and low revs.

**** chassis ****ing failure again, p*ssing hell ffs, I'm done with all these f***ing retirements. Sorry @Omer Said you have a fantastic game here and I know why people like to play this so much but all this bad luck is doing my head in, for the first time in a long time I properly rq. Bye

Don't understand why so much Car Wear during a SC lap. Aren't these cars going only 100kph or less, and driving safe/low? At this rate, I'm probably going to lose Trulli before he makes it back to the pit, but just in case, I offer:

Ram F1
Trulli
Lap 1 Safe Low Pit for New Wets, repairs
Lap 2 Safe Low Pit for FULL fuel, more repairs.

If he has to, let him drive at 50kph just to save his car and let the gap build up in front of him. He's last anyways.

I tend to agree. A regular F1 race is going to have 2-3 pit stops per race. We've got 3 or more for some folks and we're not halfway yet. I think you need to consider cutting back on the wear-and-tear per lap. I have both cars experiencing 20+ % per lap on tyre wear and car wear. I've got to pit every 4 laps just to be safe, and that doesn't count for spins and such.

 

[the_sigman]

Both go safe and Pit in for wets and 90L fuel on lap1.

 

[Milos]

the thing causing the problem as I see it is this:

-Omer tried to implement a system where if you make a mistake you will get punished for it in terms of car HP. Which is great, but I personally think it shouldn't be so large. The effect is more than double (just compared it for Fangio, 40->32, no mistake and 32->14 with mistake, that is 8% without and 18% with mistake. But okay, mistakes don't happen often in the dry, let's roll over ther.
-Omer also tried to implement a system of lockups, a "special" type of mistake, that makes the tyres wear more. This makes sense, and I feel like this works great.

The problem is in the rain. It increases chance of error, which, fair enough, is great. But, alongside the two above, especially car HP, it just doesn't work.
let's say 4/5 of your laps will be affected by your mistake, so on 4/5 of your laps you will get double the car wear. Hence why so many people retired from chassis failures, and the ones running have nearly dead cars in terms of car HP.

The pitstops work just fine, I could've pushed one stop in Melbourne, without mistakes. After all, my retirement in Melbourne did come from car wear, which as i said above is mistake related, at least 15% in a dry race.

Retirements in a SC period does not affect anything. It will end in 2 laps as usual.

I am really sorry, but i can understand your frustration. I hope you might reconsider your sudden decision after the race. Schumacher has solid chances.

It was not a SC lap. The next two laps will be driven under SC.

The first race was not so as it was dry. This race is %100 wet. The drivers make many mistakes which result in extra car wear. But, I must probably decrease car wear values AFTER this season. The untrained drivers and non- durability upgraded cars suffer a lot indeed. It is a bit unfair to some extent. Also there will be a way to upgrade pitcrew which will improve their repairing rates.

 

[Aidan Keranen]

All 4 safe low, pit lap 1 repairs, wets, 40L. John use play safe ability lap 1 please.

Lap 2: Mika+John, pit, repairs, wets, 85L. Felix+Keke pit, wets, 72L

->(all 4 cars pit twice)

 

[Azabadaza]

Shame for Lella with the chassis failure, was fairly well placed
Jann continue lap 1
pit lap 2 - wets, repairs 70L

I know, and I like the concept of this game very much, it just hasn't given me any sort of luck has it. Schumi also was in a good shout last race, where he retired too...... I'll reconsider the quit till the results and will give you my answer then

 

[kedy89]

I like it how it is

I admit I was lucky with +2 durability from the risky at season start, but still after the 1st race it was obvious that it'll be important. As not many have upgraded it yet it's the same for most.
Think it's similar to last season when many were moaning about tyres. Tyre mastery up to 6 and it was fine

 

[Tim.E]

If you have the money..... guess what happens when you retire..... Yeah you guessed it

anyway
both laps
Kamui talk to Kevin
Felipe and Loris inspect your screwed cars

I'm taking high risks with my sponsors (mainly BRT). Can backfire quickly, like last race last season when I got nothing.

Sorry Toby, but top5 and top10 finish sponsors are not risk for your BRT team. And to be honest, I don't think that anyone can push you at the moment, in order that you need to make some extreme risks in races.
