What about giving your team mate your password for week, then changing it when you get back?

Yeah, maybe.....can I trust InSTAALed with my password though :-k...imagines commentary-'oh and Parker has driven straight into the wall at high speed for no apparent reason, meanwhile InSTAALed wins the race!' ;)

If you were to start it now, could people join in later on? But miss the first race or two?

Heh, I scaled and animated the TBL rocket pace car... but the other one was as is 8-)

I guess that I should have looked at those 'quall settings' earlier and it would have helped... :doh:

Retro-Edit: BC I assume that my statements here will show I'm not the best choice to help your team ;)

Okay I see some peopel have done warmups already but when I click on it I just get the list of people that have run. Am I missing something to enter warmup or is this an auto-generated thing pre-race? :-?

You go to 'car set-up' and then sort your settings out. Then click 'test'.

Heh- I just had a hilarious result in another one of my f1 games. Despite it pouring down, nearly everyone on the grid forgot to start on wet tyres. I carved my way up from about 18th to fifth at the end :-p
