Wrong. I would flirt with the ladies myself, and screw the race :D

Chicks > anything... joe should know, right tiger? How was your date the other night? :-D
I will put the answer to that in the "Trash Talk / General Discussion Thread", as it doesn't has anything to do with BATracer. :thup: :-D

Joe, how can we Warm-up in 1st and 2nd, yet we are majorly off the pace in qualifying! I hope theres a huge pile up into the first corner, and all i have to do is drive around you all and coast the car home! :-D

It may have been because that the cars weren't equal at the time of qualify, but they are during warmup. :dunno:

That would explain why we were about 8 seconds apart in warm up but now about 0.5secs in the qualification. Nice one, Joe! The Hostmaster strikes again! :thup:

Is there less of a difference in performance between the F1 cars? I don't remember having to go through all this tweaking. :-k

The difference is simply because you had a bad setup after practice. In the warmup you neared some settings down to better setup and now you got faster which is shown by your warmup times.

In all F1 series you have a huge performance difference. With the Force India or Super Aguri you have to be very clever and lucky to gain some points. ;)

Wow, that special title on me has been since the first NHL EHM when we were setting up a TBL league, but because of the stupid time zones no one had time. :-D

Yeah, I think they are, especially in the one that we used, which was one of the most equal. I remember that I was in a public game using Super Aguri and ending up in second place in teams, behind Ferrari I think it was.

No, but I have my mechanics' contracts ready to be burnt, if my car breaks down during race thanks to something mechanical. :-D

I already sent you one of my mechnics with a screwdriver to help your tyre pressure. :-D

Thanks, I'm considering taking the screwdriver from my mechanics and fix the car myself. :-D

Nah, all I need is wings, and that I get from our sponsors! :-p

Here's the final map, I really feel sorry for Archie and his lawn mower.... :-k

Nice I had changed to wet tyres for practice, but still I ended up driving on slick for some reason. ](*,)
