You could have dots moving round the circuit representing the cars, and the commentary could provide you with news of incidents/penalties etc. The main game would involve managing a race team-hiring sponsors and drivers etc. You have to work your way up through different competition formats to the ultimate goal of F1.... Licenses wouldn't be a problem because as ever the game would be fully editable anyway..Minty, I await the finished product

Oh my God it exists already!!!!

I have entered an F1 team and a BTCC entry. More importantly if any of you guys want to play please enter. I will set up a private league in an F1 2006 competition
Basically it is like EHM for racing. The main options are located along the top of the screen. You have to register to play but it is quick, easy and free.
To join the TBL racing F1 competition go to 'private games' in the 'game' menu. Our game ID is 'TBL' and the password 'murraywalker'
click here!
We need a minimum of 11 entrants, but a maximum field of 22 would be better. EVEN IF YOU HAVE LITTLE INTEREST IN MOTORSPORT GIVE IT A GO!
For your info, I have entered as Toro Rosso

Also, it helps to have team-mates, as you can privately share the best set-up info to get the best positons/results.
I look forward to seeing the Minstrel/Archi Ferrari team dynamic
The game doesn't require loads of time. You set-up the car, run the practice simulation and see how you do. The more time you put in tweaking the car the better your chances. Qualification is a randomisation of you practice performance and your car's general level of ability. The race tactics are the most interesting part-deciding pit-stops/ who to be more aggressive against etc.
You don't have to be at a computer to see the race-you can watch it back at any time...

Biggest piece of advice for this game is to constantly be in contact with your team mate. Teamwork can get you spot on's for most of your car, just make sure you don't do warmup/practice at the same time.

They're thinking of doing a Nascar one at some stage, flea. *Drools at thought of 43 human players involved in the races*..

Yeah c'mon guys- i have only got three other Bat racer games to keep me going

.
I like the races from what I have seen on the others-mechanical failures on the penultimate lap ruined my touring car race, and a bodged pit-stop saw me finish in 7th in another F1 game.

I'll see if I can open the game up to the public to fill a whole grid
Otherwise, feel free to invite people you know who might be interested

Heh, well I got the 2nd and 3rd best times in practice so far.
I was wondering if someone can give me a hand with something...
Whats is the difference between 'Cut Slick Soft' and 'Cut Slick Hard'? Other then the obvious that one is harder then the other?
