You're so right.. And I even checked the website, lol.. Well, still the most important thing: how about fairplay? More info about it.

Now there is more info. And what else?

Keppana · Post by **Keppana** » Thu Oct 25, 2007 8:38 pm

Race date could be changed to tuesday or thursday, noticed that the wednesday is Champions League day. Also amount of players can be rised to 16, but that may cause kind of traffic on track and that way rough. I want it clean and pure racing.

Edit: Champions League on tuesday, Uefa Cup on thursday. So we keep wednesday as a race day then.

I'll join this - wed 20:00 sounds fine, since we need only 1 hour max.
Probably i'll team up with swos in a green or sort of yellow color, we'll still have to discuss.
Haven't tested other tracks yet, but: are all tracks like that, that you slide easily when touching sand/grass with this car?
In addition we need some more concret fairplay rules maybe. For example: when someone slides in front of you, he is still allowed to block and defend his position, right? While pushing a slower car out because it suddenly slows down/slides in front of you means: you have to wait and let it pass?
Nice testing today? Only less lags/warps and good fuel settings. Qualification was a sort of chaos though^^

Yes I know that problem and have worked with that. Car should have less weight or less steering, not very sure.. If less steering, it feels like driving a truck ^^

Player is allowed to defend his place when is battling for same position, he is not allowed to change his race line to block faster car behind. If player makes a mistake, like first he hits the wall and then second player hits him from behind, he must give his position to second player.

Good race at all, but there was a few blockers on track. Sorry for that I didn't inform before practise session for startfuel.

For an offtopic; Would it be better if nick name is in format like <number> <TS nick> instead of <surename>? For me it would be #79 Keppana.

<number> <TS nick>

That way you know who's the driver.

Post by **Mike Nike** » Tue Nov 06, 2007 12:31 am

Allright, 1 team:

#55 Jarkko Honkakoski aka swos
#33 Michael Opfer aka Mike Nike

color: green (0 250 0, 0 250 0, 0 250 125)
teamname: [ATec] AntiSlider Tech.
hrhr, have to reserve [xTec] as fusion of xS and Slitec ;D
Allright, 14.11. then!

Player is allowed to defend his place when is battling for same position, he is not allowed to change his race line to block faster car behind.

I personally think this is a bit contradictory.

I think that if a driver is battling for a position, he can change the racing line to block faster cars (not lapping cars!)

Example: Driver A left the race with 60% fuel, while driver B left with 85% fuel. Driver B is in front and behind him Driver A. Driver A is faster cause he has less fuel so he will try to pass Driver B. I think that driver B (having a different startegy) has all rights to block driver A. I mean that driver B,can change race line to block driver A.

I think that is what they do in F1. They look in the mirror and try to block the car behind.

Stand to be corrected.

Regarding the car: I personally think that last test race we were too much on track infact first laps were a bit rough. I think that if the car is a bit smaller in size would conpensate for many players on track.

I'm not sure, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that in F1 the driver in front is allowed to change his driving line only once.

Keppana · Post by **Keppana** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 7:48 pm

Hmm.. I have been made F1 season 2007 car pack and I do have now an idea if we use these cars on this series? There is another point also, players are shared to teams by their skills, eg. high skilled players can choose teams from high skilled class, like in real life no Spyker can ever beat Ferrari ^^

Here is teams list:
High skilled - Ferrari, McLaren, Renault
Medium skilled - BMW, Williams, Red Bull, Toyota, Toro Rosso
Low skilled - Honda, Super Aguri, Spyker

Edit: Nvm bad idea

Let's use the normal teams and colors as planned. It's hard to put players in specified class and if later come some higher skilled player to low skilled team then this idea does not work.
