Karen - Your last race with us you pulled out after something like 27 laps i believe due to a tech problem.
I would say you are on a 2 stop strategy - if you car is all <50% wear and you are not running risks then you could finish 5th-6th place as i expect people to not finish the race :)
edit: - Karen! I will call you that. Why are you using that name? If the admin staff find out you could be banned from the game.
....
Luke, good to see you back again :)
Good luck in your race. Very quick Q2 time compared to Q1 but i got a hunch you havent got much fuel onboard - or your driver was just awful in Q1. May work out this race if you havent worn your car out from testing (or if you upgraded after testing). But hope you not making 5 pits stops. lol :D

cool thats good i need some points
|
|
|
how do you find out other peoples fuel and all that stuff
|
|
|
I have a new driver for this race, and the car should be fine. will see how it goes :)
|
|
|
what is the greatest tyres for races
|
|
|
|

Karen, you cant find out other peoples fuels but you can make guestimates from the difference between Q1 and Q2. However these are put out if there inconsistant drivers as they can make times 1+seconds worse/better.
Vilius. The best tyre for a race depends on 1) the track, 2) the weather.
Extra soft is always the quickest, but depending on the above they could last stupidily little laps (like 10-20) meaning you have to pit many many times.
edit: Luke, no idea what your driver like.. but if nothing else it got a good name. lol

You know unfortunately with this group the game to play is "Who, won't be smoking by the end."
|
|
|
i choosed a soft tyres :) for race it is not bad?
|
|
|
that the game for every group in the 2 races at this point (last race and this) as they quite nasty on the car.
THere are people that be smoking for at least the next 4 races judging by their money as they cant upgrade.
Some the promotion people may smoke for a long time as well, being that they may feel they dont need to spend money on a car as got enough points. All be interesting to see.

vilius, soft tyres be fine in this race. they would easily get beyond the half way point.
|
|
|
Yeah and the parts I'm getting to are at the point where they're about the max part level I want to get in Rookie, so some of these parts won't increase in level, just newness.
|
|
|
I understand it saves what, about 8m or something i think if you dont upgrade from 4 to 5. Maybe a bit more. Cant remember off hand. Think my upgrade cost 33m last time round which was 3 and 4 parts, and be arond 38m+ for 4 and 5 parts.
.... Who wants to guess how long extra soft tyres will last this race then? <hoping i get no tech problems as really would like to see the life of tyres>

good luck everyone hope most of u get good points
|
|

Aye indeed. Hope everyone has a good enjoyable race.
Winning isnt everything. Remember this first season for us guys is about learning mainly. Only reason I do well is i got experienced people backing me, so dont base your performances on the top guys. Just see how well you do compared to the people with your level of experience :)

Winning isnt everything.
I think I'm the best example of that. Nearly 100 races and 1 win.

Hello, today I will be first!!..................... out :)
good luck.)

Heh, never realised that was your stats.
Just constantly being in the points is my aim next season. Be more people relegating down again. Im praying that we dont get one the resetting Elites. There like 5+ of them that got R by their name at the moment and guess most be resetters and not retiring oO

oh dear... hope people get past me quick. lol. I expect driver errors btw which can let alot through at once
|
|
|
my driver never has good start xD
|
|
|
may get better with training, if you can work out what may relate too.
i think i be costing tim about 7/10ths per lap at the moment with being behind me. May let him get overtaken if there high OT risks in play further back.
edit: there we go. 2 people through at last. lets see the difference :D
|
|
|
To be honest that doesn't really bother me since Tim isn't so fast that it creates a huge gap...yet.
|
|
|
not yet, but as loads get lighter it could make a big difference if i still got the train
edit; hmm about 1.5seconds could be the difference now. lol. but then i be getting slowed by being on the defensive

dont know what my driver is doing,he is a little asleep
