Okay now my car totalled 4 times. I'd not mind but put the risk level down! :-(

What do you think I should spend my next lot of cash on my car so far has:

Engineering: 93%
Fine tuning: 60%

Stabilty: 12%
Performance: 799ps

Aerodynamics: 67%

I think stability?? How my car compare :-S

Redblurr · 29 Nov 2003, 16:04 (Ref:798283)

stability

Antrodemus · 29 Nov 2003, 22:43 (Ref:798474)

*lots* of stability

Phoenix1 · 30 Nov 2003, 22:08 (Ref:799591)

Thought so :-) Just needed by car to be fast first. Logic was all very nice being stabile but useless if no engine.

beau · 30 Nov 2003, 22:42 (Ref:799621)

A good driver can carry a bad car but a bad driver can still wreck a good car..
I didn't upgrade my engine power at all during my first 4 races, concentrating on the driver and not breaking stuff. You can still score decent points with a slightly underpowered engine. Consequently I've got 37 points and only 1 engine blowup - when I accidentally left everything on insane!

i sat out the last 2 races so i could get some money up.......lol i still finished 7th in one race even tho i had 0 track time!

allen_overy · 1 Dec 2003, 02:31 (Ref:799770)

1:28.317 Qualifying time. Chasing for top honours tomorrow.

BARrouette · 1 Dec 2003, 02:57 (Ref:799786)

F@@@ dam i just mist a practice day dam

Antrodemus · 1 Dec 2003, 07:53 (Ref:799974)

1:27.604 2nd of 4.
I'm 6 seconds (!) faster than 3rd, and 2 seconds off pole!

Dani Filth · 1 Dec 2003, 12:33 (Ref:800267)

second on the grid . i'm gonna risk a bit tomorow .. i want the win

Ryo28 · 1 Dec 2003, 12:36 (Ref:800269)

I won my last race, which of course puts me in a tough group. Having missed training, i am 8th out of 8, 9.3 secs

off pole, and 5.1 secs off 7th place!! My team Minardi tribute living up to its name! Heres hopin no-one else qualifies, then at least i might finish 8th and salvage a point...

ASCII Man · 1 Dec 2003, 12:49 (Ref:800280)

I badly need a setup!
Missed the last race due to me forgetting it!

Oh boy, i'm on P1 with a 1.29.789!

:confused:

**Asp** · 1 Dec 2003, 14:21 (Ref:800361)

I did a minimum amount of upgrade for this race - engine only; so I can take more money next round and splash out on bringing the new car and new driver up to a decent standard for the first race.

beau · 1 Dec 2003, 22:27 (Ref:800757)

2nd out of 15 so far maybe some good points
just got to hope that 1st leaves his driver on INSANE

Bomn · 2 Dec 2003, 01:12 (Ref:800927)

Bomn 16/17 Bomnjnr 11/17. Dare say I wont be finishing the season on the top of our group.

Antrodemus · 2 Dec 2003, 01:36 (Ref:800954)

Qualified 3rd, hoping for a big haul of points to get to the top of the team standings!

I've also had two other teams building nothing but uber-engines for a few rounds now - I've got one up to 841PS and one at 909PS compared with my #1 team at 814PS. The plan is that once everything is reset for the new season I'll have an 809PS engine ready to go! At least I will if the changeover goes anything like it's supposed to.

Omega99 · 2 Dec 2003, 02:54 (Ref:801004)

I've only got 749ps... I can't afford to loose 100! That'll cost millions to build up again!

Bomn · 2 Dec 2003, 05:11 (Ref:801087)

The lower your power the more you get for your bucks. IE: it is cheaper to go from 700 to 800 than it is to go from 800 to 900. So it probably makes more sence to let the money build up and buy the power in the new season. You could also start a new team now and let it build up for a full season without any spending and use it in the following season.

allen_overy · 2 Dec 2003, 08:21 (Ref:801194)

Stop Press: 1:27.481 personal best
topping the time sheets

**Asp** · 2 Dec 2003, 10:03 (Ref:801290)

As we're going to need a new driver as well next year - after one full season of practice have we decided which is the best?

DriverT · 2 Dec 2003, 10:12 (Ref:801301)

So what are the rules for next season? When does it start?

Where does it say you lose 100 BHP?

Bomn · 2 Dec 2003, 10:14 (Ref:801305)

I was wondering that myself. What if you set up a new account today and pick sunnyboy, get 10,000,000 then at the start of the new season if you can pick him again that should give you 20,000,000 to start the season with.

In help, End of Season

End of Season / start of new season

After each season, every racing team starts over with a score of zero World Cup points.

Money that has been saved as well as saved turns will be available in the new season.

Each racing team gets a new driver. Apart from the engine that stays the same with a few restrictions, each team gets a new car as well.

From people that have done previous seasons the "few restrictions" include losing 100ps

DriverT · 2 Dec 2003, 15:10 (Ref:801546)

Ah OK, what other things are given by "few restrictions"?
