So you want to race F1, eh? Join me at Batracer.com!! part 3

[QUOTE=Patrick Olsen]So, in other words, it's based on reality. How crazy! As I said in my first post of this thread, "Needless to say, the sooner you sign up the better your team will be - the good ones will fill up fast!" I'm running a Super Aguri in another game and I don't find it any less enjoyable. If racing was only about winning and losing then there wouldn't be 11 teams in F1, there would only be the 3 that actually have demonstrated the ability to win this year.

I'm in a Midland in one game, and I was happy with the 10th place finish that I had gotten.


It's all about gaging yourself and exploiting the other driver's weaknesses and hoping for the win.



And NYEJ25, you've crashed in both games we've played in, so I wouldn't doubt that your settings are a bit aggressive.

I was joking around, and my settings are not to aggressive. Let me worry about how I set up my car and driver.



Edit: I didn't crash out in the first race. I had an exhaust problem.



Nobody can take a joke anymore. :rolleyes:

According to the BATracer Forum, it's expected short-notice downtime. Should be back up soon.

Patrick Olsen 07-28-2006 05:33 PM

[QUOTE=XenoWolf]I've seen on the forums that Super Aguris can fight for championships in the right conditions... so I wouldn't sweat it too much.[/QUOTE]
I'm not exactly "fighting for the championship", but I'm 7th so far in my public game driving the SA. My "teammate" has yet to touch his car, so I get no help from him with car setup. :rolleyes: By myself I've outscored the 2 Ferrari drivers. I don't have tons of experience with the game (between the 3 games I've got going I think I've done 15 races), but I'm an engineer and understand how to go through and efficiently do my practice/warm-up runs to maximize my setup. That alone I think gives me a leg up on some of the other people in the public game I'm in. It's fun to perform better than the car should be, even if it is because the other "drivers" are idiots. :)

If you get kool tools you can join 4 public games at once. I'm not sure how many private.

I have 4 public games going and 1 private at the moment.
XenoWolf 07-28-2006 09:50 PM

Looks like your teammate got the best of you this time around, Matt.

[QUOTE=Tony]I suck.[/QUOTE]

[quote=Pat Olsen]Sheet, man, you beat both the Williams cars. You can't expect much better than that from a Super Aguri![/quote]

That should've read, "I suck at navigating the website." I checked the race results and the first thing I saw was the starting positions and thought that was the final result, doh! :o I'm pretty happy with the 13th place considering I missed practice and in a Super Aguri.

I missed practice again for Sapang but hopefully me and my teammate can get our setups better for the next track and see the full potential of the SA.

I can't think of a good tire strategy for A1GP. Only two sets of slicks? :(

the ferrari are finally taken from the top
hkerekes 07-29-2006 11:35 AM

Wanna start a new private?
I missed the first one and i just started a new A1GP only 4 of us so far, so come join me.

What gives?
Patrick Olsen 07-29-2006 07:44 PM

It's back up. The count-down is showing that the race would be at about 11pm Eastern, so I think I'll be manually advancing the game to get us back near our "normal" time. Only 20 people have done their warm-up laps thus far, though, so I don't want to screw anyone too hard.

Pat

Edit: Just raced Imola in my public game. Qualified the Super Aguri 8th on the grid. 4 of the 7 guys ahead of me had an "exceptionally bad start." On the first lap I pick off 1, then the 2nd, then the 3rd, and then... I hit the 4th one and crashed out of the race!! Dammit! :mad: Good news is that I'm still ahead of Ferrari in the manufacturers standings. :)

Edit: So now I check out the other private game I've got going. Had a pretty poor qualifying session, put the McLaren 8th on the grid. 3 guys in front of me had an "exceptionally bad start." On the first lap I pick off 1, then the 2nd, and then try to pass the car that was 7th on the grid (he had a normal start) and I hit him!! :eek: You gotta be kidding me!! At least this time I'm not out of the race, but went from 8th, to racing for 4th, back to 15th all in the first lap. My teammate was one of the bad starters, he went from 6th to 12th. Now, back to the race... Ended up fighting my way back to 3rd. Shoulda been 2nd, but I apparently am incapable of passing. :rolleyes:
XenoWolf 07-29-2006 08:06 PM

A1GP Qualifying in a few minutes.. we really need to setup a NASIOC A1GP league once the current public A1GP and private F1 leagues are done..

Well, damn. The link to manually advance the game has disappeared, so I'm not sure how to do it. :( Looks like the race will be at 11pm.

Crap Ferrari finishes 1/2 and then bridgestone gets another upgrade and Ferrari gets a better engine for the next race.

i guess i screwed that one up missed turn 4 twice once while in the lead good race ferrari

I looked over some of the vehicle setups... sounds like some of you players need to start working with your teammates more.

I'm going to Target to buy a clue.
ptclaus98 07-30-2006 06:59 AM

I was in fourth fighting for points, but I had to pit twice in a ten lap window.



There goes points.
hkerekes 07-30-2006 10:52 AM

I am in a public league, was in fourth and pitted. Well somehow i selected intermediate tires instead of slicks. I ended up in 13th. wtf
wvallwheeldrive 07-30-2006 11:40 AM

you got to be very careful of which tires you start on if you start on 2.3 cut slick hard on your next stop you will put on 3.1 intermediate. It uses the next set of tires avalible.

oh thats why opps
wvallwheeldrive 07-30-2006 11:43 AM

yeah you got to be very careful when using your tires in the other sessions

Its supposed to pick the best tire availible. If its going to intermediate it should be because thats what your tire sliders are telling the comp to do.
MattDell 07-30-2006 04:49 PM

Also, you should uncheck the box that says "Use this tire" if you don't want to use that tire in a race. I always just leave one compound marked, but that will probably change once we have a wet race.

This not having an active partner thing is killing me. I really want to know what this car could do at 100%.
NYEJ25 07-30-2006 04:58 PM

If you guys are interested, I set up a private A1GP season.

Follow this link: [url]http://batracer.com/-cj?&D&5568[/url]

Password is: nasioc

Come join and bring your friends, should be a fun series. I can also start a champ car series if anyone is interested.

Let me know.

Thanks
-Drew
MattDell 07-30-2006 05:05 PM

I hate running 3 series at the same time, but I joined this A1GP session in the hopes it becomes a large NASIOC league.


-MAtt
NYEJ25 07-30-2006 05:09 PM

I'm not going to start it till me get it all full. I want it to be a large series.
MattDell 07-30-2006 05:24 PM

Well hopefully much of the current F1 and A1GP series is through before this one starts up.

-Matt
wvallwheeldrive 07-30-2006 05:35 PM

Out on the first lap of public A1GP and finished dead last! :mad:
XenoWolf 07-30-2006 08:38 PM

Don't feel bad.. my champ car season is horrific. I crashed at surfers paradise, 'couldn't find my groove' during qualifying at Phoenix (qualifying dead last) and crashed again after moving up 10 spots during the race.

My A1GP season is going well, although I screwed up during practice for the feature.
