It's the fact that I stalled on the grid that made me laugh

Lol! Just found out that different cars do have different setups so taking over your car isn't that helpful to me!!! In fact if anything I don't Toro Rossi will be doing very well this race as I'm way off the pace in the practice including 2 laps where over-enthusiasm got the better of the driver and I lost about 4 laps

Darn it! I was in first place until my stupid front wing fell apart. Sort it out you lazy mechanics

Not a bad performance. We hope to enprove our car and win next race!

Who would like to join Ferrari? Parker? Flea? Someone who's free? Then we can share our car settings and become more performent!

You crazy drivers!

You're supposed to finish the race.

And man, what a come from outa-where 2nd place victory for me. Look at the grid thing near the end of the race-by-race thing. Right near the bottom to 2nd place

.

Congrats are off to Daniel of course.

Daniel says thanks. But if I hadn't got those problems with the electronics I would have finished better too.

Get ready for a 1-2 finish from the Honda boys in the next race

Post by **joehelmer** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 9:25 pm

Or a 1-2 finish for the Toyota team!

Post by **Minstrel** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 9:35 pm

Maybe if you mean 1-2 in the 'Retired' list

Beware the running of the Bulls!

I can finish first by myself!

I'm at a disadvantage

Well... when you joined you weren't forced to start your own team, there were open slots with several teams

Post by **inSTAALed** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 4:55 am

I didn't know if I was allowed to join them though

Didn't want to make someone angry

Heh. Was just abusing ya

I don't know this for sure but couldn't you start a new account and see if you could join up with someone and then (once it actually works) you could quit with your original character?

Wet,wet,wet...
Today is the first time we've had wet conditions, these mean your settings on your car will need to be changed. If you look in the engineers advice page it will say something like this:
Fully wet:
Front wings +20
Rear wings +35
etc..
However this is for fully wet conditions, which it rarely is. So to get the perfect setup you need to look at how wet it is going to be. Qualifying was moist so I changed my setup by about 1/4 of what the engineer said. Just found out for Rain conditions it needs to be changed just under half of what he says, e.g. if it says +20 then do it +9 instead. Also don't forget to change your tyres, I noticed that a lot of people were doing qualifying on hard or soft tyres but the conditions were moist so Intermediates were required

Hope this helps

K... but thing is it's raining in practice but set to be dry when we race so what's the point of practicing in the rain to get your settings when they'll be wrong once the starting flag drops?

If you have some in practice that were say 63-69 and then you tweak it before warmup so its say 75-81 then during warmup you get it so that it says spot on 77 in rain, then before the race you change it back down to 65 giving you a spot on for race conditions, do that for all of them and click on the save button
