Well had my 1st race last night Had qualified 23rd, in the warm up after my team mate handed me his set-up i was 4th.
Race started and some how me being a dumb *** had accidently started on Green Wet Wheather tyres in a bone dry race, luckily there was a smash and a safter car so i only lost about 6 spots and was right behind them. Safty car pulled off at the end of lap 8... Lap 78 i was in 3rd and hunting down 2nd at over .5 of a second a lap, eventually finishing 2 seconds behind him!!! Tonight running a similar set-up me and my Spanish team mate are hoping for a double podium although 1st is unlikly as the leader is Damn fast! If it wern't for me starting on wets it could have been 2nd place! Man im already addicted! |

Doesn't take much to become addicted! Trust me.
Watch that agression setting. That can ruin a race, and an entire season! Unfortunately a lot of the others will have their's thru the roof... So they collide with you! :(

Thats the mistake most people make. 60 is not low. 50 is not low. 20 is low!
Just because it starts at 50, doesn't make it low.

I have just started a private game for myself and a few mates but we need a few more players. If you want to have a go with us the game ID is 8062 and the password is lowndes.
Cheers

DJR are fine with the right people and the right setups. Same with WPS. I have seen them win a championship too.

A new team has been created "Paul Cruickshank Racing".
Just joined too - picked a single car team cause I've only just started playing & I didn't want to stuff things up for a team mate. |

Alway go thinker and then adjust the bars by 16. (only because it devides easier ![]() Most times I'm within 2 or 4 of spot on come the end of practise. Then use the warmup to finish of the last few. Retirements in V8's can kill your season. I went head to head with a guy... won 15 races to his 8 but he only DNF'd once to my 4 and I finished second by less than 100 points. (yes it was a public game and the pride is still hurting!!!) ![]() D

I've come second three times by stuff all. Won two private Championships, but haven't cracked it for a public win. I do have a F1 2006 public and V8 Public under different logins. (when I was hooked I had 15 games running at once.) Now I have Kool Tools I only use my one login.

Anyone want a team mate in a private game? I am due to finish a championship in 18 hours, and will have a private slot available.
Let me know. Cheers Darran
