Since xzeal, Jarno and some other Turbo-GPROers have left our TS-GPRO team/game, we have currently 3 free spots. Obviously it would be nice to have greater Turbo Sliders presentation there, so i'm now asking for you all to join the game and our team.

You can join the team by first sending me (team leader) a private message in GPRO where you state the fact that you actually are TS-driver. After that, send application to our team and I will accept it. only criteria besides being some what active Turbo Slider is that you would be willing to play GPRO actively. At least I'm ready to help with basics of the game once you join.

Let's go!

It doesn't require much spare time. Max 10-15 minutes every three days.

Done! - Just waiting for you to accept me now

Can't believe joining a team costs me £3mil straight off though!

Anyway, I've qualified for tomorrow's race ahead of at least 3 other people, so I won't be starting my first race from last position - had no idea at all about fuel strategy though, I just guessed lol

Waiting to my account being activated. So I am in if there is still room when my account is active.

Tip to all new players: read through newbie guide, game rules, and faq. That will really help you. And it's important to save at least every race analysis and car wear to learn doing better and better strategies.

True, the game is explained there. I screwed up my first races because I didn't read documentation carefully. An alternative would be to send all of your questions to xzeal, who will be happy to help you too.

Even though I'm failing all fuel strategies, I am using a program to save all that data the GPRO Organiser. Enjoy.

ROFL!!! I wanted to ask how it was possible that you had better lap time than me in quali

Scud · Post by **Scud** » Fri Jul 17, 2009 2:10 pm

Thank god it rains about 95% sure so I still may have some changes if rain can effect in this game like it does in real life... Anything can happen. About the game, i first thought it must be boring but i was wrong... Actually i have been looking for game like this for long.

Post by **dede** » Fri Jul 17, 2009 2:19 pm

Some suggestions for newbies, since I screwed up my season already because of mistakes:

1) do not update your car unless you have high wear
2) it looks like money is more important than getting victories, so don't throw millions away (suggestion nr. 1 is part of this also, since your "old parts" won't remain available for downgrading with same wear as of when you changed them)

I can give more tips, but I don't want that you promote before than me, so figure out by yourself!

That's very true. There's no extra money even if it feels like that after race or two. So spend money only when you really have to or have some other known reason to spend.

I also send some information about drivers to all team members in GPRO.

I've messed up fuel strategy too. I assumed it was compulsory to make all of the pit-stops listed. But now I've realised it isn't.

I did read that it usually doesn't take more than 280 fuel for a race, so my 5-stops only takes it to 300, meaning that I do actually have to make all of them...

Something tells me that a 5-stop strategy may not be the quickest option

It's wet race, so fuel consumption is lower than expected. Probably you can make it in 3 pits or 4.

Check fuel consumption in track data anyway

Scud · Post by **Scud** » Fri Jul 17, 2009 8:29 pm

First race completed, i was 11th... Some sort of technical probs and one unplanned pit stop. But anyway, i like about this game. I already donated 2euros because i am millionare.

We need 3 more supporters to get our team color in use (if i got it right).

iBlaze² · Post by **iBlaze²** » Fri Jul 17, 2009 8:32 pm

Wooo, first race and first points also!

Finished 7th after starting 12th and getting a bit lucky on strategy too... I finished the final lap with 0% remaining, meaning that I only ended up making 2 of those 5 stops

Like Scud, I'm also enjoying this, roll on tuesday!

My engine wear was 95% so i needed new one. Or was that mistake?

Did you use high risks in the race? If you didn't, you were just unlucky.

Scud · Post by **Scud** » Fri Jul 17, 2009 9:28 pm

No i didnt use high risk. I had technical problems so i quess i was just unlucky. I think this first season will be "learning things season" anyway so it doesnt matter if i ran out of money.

registered for this since i like manager games so how do i get in the turbosliders team? after im approved?

Janne · Post by **Janne** » Mon Nov 09, 2009 3:17 pm

After you are approved, first send a PM to team leader (Chris/Kova), so he knows that you are a TS player and then send application to the team.
