Well, you only need to check in to run your practices which doesn't take much time at all and report your numbers to your teammate. :thup:

We need three more racers before we can start so if you played with us before and wanted to joinup again do so now :racing: I think we only actually need one new recruit as I'm sure Tom will play again and BC said he'd rejoin the fray this go as well.

Hmm... new page better post the info again:
Players will need to be registered and logged in before they can enter the private game. When logged in, clicking the following URL will take you to the join game page:

http://batracer.com/-cj?&D&9302

Alternativly, you can select "private games" from the menu and enter the number "9302" into the box. The game password is "tblracing". Take care not to accidentally join a public game by mistake.

Presumably I shouldn't captain a team as I don't know what I'm doing, which team should I join?

As the winner of the first TBL raceing season, I hearby invite you to join my team, who will be driving Toro Rosso. I thought it was a funny coincidence that the description called them mini red-bull or something of the like. 8-)

His username here is danny_helmer. But he hasn't been online for a long time. I post for him instead. 8-)
No, he doesn't mind it at all. Actually he and one other player won the team championship with Super Aguri on Batracer once. So he has more merits on that game than I got. :nerd:

Every of them got ther good/bad things. Read the descriptions. They all do some matter, I think..... :doh:

Ok ta. Just wonderd you see if ti was best to work with what your team mate has got but pick different ones.

Right im joined up in the league. Look forward to racing you all. (I think I chose the correct flag for English hehe)

EDIT - I chose the wrong flag. Silly me, should of paid more attention.

I don't think it will matter. Some characteristics will get you better results from practice. But I've got good results without those characteristics too.

Wait, with that. I think Dan has done his practice. Load his setups instead.
They are in "Car setup" then you click load, and there's his name. Click on it to load his setups. :thup: :-D

Ok just done that now. Thanks for that. Saves me doing all the tuning myself hehe. Well trying to.

That is the bad thing with A1GP, you have to do all the tuning by yourself.

I guess being with your brother though will save me messing around with it. Especially if he won it.

Does your brother use these forums btw?

No, I do it for both of us at the moment. but soon he will get Internet access to his appartment. But I don't think he will get active here. Maybe if I start telling him too, or starts to threat him that if he isn't going to be active here I won't borrow my license number to EHM to his game. :-p ;)

Bribery always works between brothers joe ;)

Some people might not know it but Calv and Archi are also real life brothers :-p

As for the season we should be almost set now right? (Haven't checked batracer today yet)

I'm going to try and get the Beginners Guide written up and put on the Knowledge Base tonight some time if my migraines hold off... I was fairly worthless yesterday because of them :headache:

Apologies for dropping out, but I am off on holiday on Thursday so won't be about for 10 days. If there is a space when I'm back I will pick it up then.

10 days isn't really that big a deal, if you want to give you partner your password (you could rechange it later if ya wanted) to cover you, that's only like 3 races I think maybe 4... so that's still an option if you want.

I take it, by the lack of new posts, BATracer has died out? :-k

It really is a blast but getting the minimum number of people has been a challenge obviously, as we can't star without the required amount. We should give 'er a shot again though as it's worth fighting for in my opinion, I'd love to play again.

If you guys get going on this again, I'd love to join in. :thup:

With the "Big Race" right around the corner(tomorrow to be exact) I'm getting in the mood for racing, and this game popped into my mind - I registered, but didn't see any fun in teaming up with some random person, so I kind of went into limbo... and then realized that you guys had a league going over here.
