Dude, I rule.

Actually I forgot all about the qualifying, was spending a bit too much time looking at jobs online.

Qualifying is overrated

It's the race that matters!

BTW - This is when you'll want to make sure you check out your 'Driving Style' and 'Race Strategy' setups in your garage.

Make sure you and your teammate aren't set to pit on the same lap for example.

He's going to be cranky... I'm glad I don't work in his pitcrew.

Gah this is all set to North American time. I wasn't aware the game had started so I hadn't set my qualifying strategy

Ah well, I've improved my setup in the warmup and was ripping it up. Hopefully I'll get up the grid on race day.

I think a lot of people didn't ahve qualifying set, actually I didn't either

So the first race will be a war

but remembering back to last season (which we ran in the mid 1980s I think it was? lol) we had people come from last qualifying spot to win or at least podium many many times so it's not that big of a deal. Just make sure you get your race strategy stuff setup in the next 12 hrs or so before the race starts.

WOW!

Me and Catchup, 1-2 the whole race!

We own dis.

I saw the way I kept the basement cozy for half the race, then shot up to the middle of the pack, then made a pit and never made up for lost position. That was cool.

Kudos to the three reckless guys for keeping me out of 12th place

I'm sure I am Calv's favorite today

On the final lap I passed him to take third ending the race .005 seconds ahead of him.

It's always fun to see the events of the races unfold, you'll see I've made many comments

You can make comments at each 'event' in the races.

The Bull rush was on as Team Bull as we made the most passes by far, and we also had the best pit times, so we'll just have to work on getting to the podium more effectively.

Game note: don't forget to set your Qualifying strategy if you haven't already. See ya all at qualifying, you'll notice there is a set time countdown for when each stage of a race will be completed.

Archibalduk has collided with Vile whilst trying to defend P5! Vile is out of the race! Archibalduk is out of the race!

Get outa my way then! Let faster cars and the better drivers through!

Uffff.....hope next race will be better

Post by **Minstrel** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 11:38 pm

I hate math

I hope this rain clears before the race.

Post by **E5150_ca** » Sat Mar 03, 2007 12:42 am

I feely silly. I changed my set-up for wet conditions, but forgot to change my tires.

Post by **Minstrel** » Sat Mar 03, 2007 2:27 am

Qualifying 1&2? Team Bull!

Yeah the tires were the difference...

I hope we don't have one of these races where we adjust our specs for wet and then in the second lap it clears and all we can change is tires... I hate that

Well I'm sure your teammate will be glad to hear that. But given that I know that that's what cheeses me about the rain thing, I know that instead of sliding off the course like you should you'll win instead because the rain wil clear after the second turn and we'll all be punished for adjusting and you'll be blissfully home free. If find that fantabulastically annoying
