How on earth did I slip down so far?! I must have had a really poor start. So much promise in pratice and qualification but such a failure in the race

At least Calv got his team its first points.

Woo 8th place!

Post by **joehelmer** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 6:31 pm

darn it! A crash during the first test lap and all my test runs are out.

Seems as though I put the wrong car setup on for today's race. Checking the Best Setups page, my bro had it 98% correct whereas I only had a 41% correct setup. We were both supposed to be using the same setup

Edit: Wow, some of the stats it stores for each race are pretty impressive. E.g. you can see where abouts everyone was on the track when the winner crossed the line: Link

More conserning is my warm up session, I lost 2 laps due to a mistake... and now my settings for the race really suck

Hey, my best starting slot yet! Not sure if I'll know what to do from the 2nd slot

BTW Why does it say the weather has changed.... when it hasn't?

Good question, I'm not sure of the answer tho, maybe it'll rain during the race at some point

not sure whether to adjust my setup or not

I lost the whole warmup because of crashes, this isn't good.

So close and yet so far eh Mr. C?

I have to say it didn't look good in the middle portion there as I just seemed to be falling further and further off your pace but my second half was really strong and I finally made my way to the front

You keep it up though and we'll start calling it the "Calv Position" instead of the pole position

Back to Back for the Brothers of the Bull!! Looks like a tough track coming up, should be interesting!

Yep was

as fast as possible but i could always see the back of your car, need to change my race strategy again congrats on the win tho

We're now officially 1/6th of the way through the season and the driver standings are as follows:

Code: Select all

P  Name                  Team     Pts
1. Tommy Vile           Red Bull   24  =D> 
2. Octavian Susnea      Ferrari    18
3. Johnny Zippo         Red Bull   16
4. Calv         Honda      16
5. Daniel H.            Toyota     15
6. Ryan InStaaled       McLaren     9
7. Joakim H.            Toyota      6
8. Luis M Ledo          Renault     6
9. Ben Parker           T.Rosso     4
10.Archi                Honda       3

With team standings like this

Code: Select all

Team       Pts
Red Bull    40   
Toyota      21
Honda       19
Ferrari     18  =D> for only one driver
McLaren      9
Renault      6
T. Rosso     3

Still loads of time for this to change, and when i start winning some races then it'll definately change.

Don't think I've ever seen this before under best setups

Colin Archibald -38.50%(yes that's minus thirty eight point five percent!!)

Post by **inSTAALed** » Fri Apr 21, 2006 8:31 pm

Wow, Archi.

Have a bit of trouble setting your car up or something?

Hooray for fourth place finish!

Yeah... umm

how does one get below 0% correct? It's rather impressive. Appears we had similar problems on Team Bull as Senor Vile failed to update his settings as well. I forgot to set my race options for this one including my pitting options; then the one I do take took 22+ seconds so there goes the race

So, the hell is the deal with number of pitstops? I thugh for sure I'd be dead when I saw I was only set up to pit once in 63 laps?

If you pit more often you will get more speed as you'll have less fuel on board, however it takes longer for that many pit stops
With one pit stops you have more fuel just after the pitstop so you'll have a slower speed but you'll spend less time in the pits but you will probably end up with your tyres having less grip as well, slowing you down. Not sure when it's beneficial to use 1,2 or 3 stop strategies tho

Archi managed to get a minus score by not signing in for the past couple of days and not changing his setup, so he may have had low suspension when it should have been 95 or something! Altho this does prove that you don't need team mate to win races so there's hope for those without team mates!

Hey Calv... wanna form our own team next season?

Post by **inSTAALed** » Sat Apr 22, 2006 4:04 am

Your just going to blow off Tom like that?

Post by **Minstrel** » Sat Apr 22, 2006 8:00 am

Less about blowing off Tom more about sticking it to Arch stealing his brother/teammate

Muahahaha [/evil]

Aonther day another top practice time by Team Bull
