Chris2K Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Hey Chris, I see you did 65 laps at Okayama. You can easily get around 100 out of one set of tyres, you will rip them to ribbons but it's only practice so I don't care about setting times. My single set of slicks are at 0% after using them for 103 laps. And awesome helmet design btw. I'm all for more Johnny Herbert helmet designs in F1. I think I'm getting better at my car setting up, I just struggle with actual qualifying and racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonM Posted April 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Just uploaded 18 set-up pics of mine, 12 tracks in total, all F3. Feel free to tinker with them as you please. http://www.mediafire.com/download/mvb5jxx1qlamkqp/Car+Setups.rar The 12 included into the pack are... Bulawayo, Charlotte, Estoril, Guapore, Iowa, Laguna Seca, Le Mans long, Okayama, Pocono, Red Bull Ring, Slovakiaring, Yas Marina Maybe we should think of forming a sort of library of setups, to make sure EWB drivers get the best possible chances Edited April 23, 2014 by Jasonmufc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berober Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 http://www.myracingcareer.com/en/user/31318/ I didn't come last in my first race! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonM Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Just had my First Top 10 qualification with this character (Driving at Pocono), I am quite pleased with that accomplishment seeing he has no driving skills to speak of. Hopefully I can follow that up with a good raceday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky316 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) Probably not, some idiot will probably try to over take you on the second or third bend and crash into you again! Just logged in to see me and Chris2k will be meeting on the track later today. He's qualified a couple of places above me but not by much, tweaked the car a bit in practice and got a quicker time than him so we'll see how that translates for the race!

Gazz Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Qualified 23rd and 22nd for my first two races. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonM Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Qualified 23rd and 22nd for my first two races. :/ If it's a custom race, it's gonna happen a lot and don't expect much better until your driver starts catching up with his training. I have gotten a 10th spot in what are just about as many races really. Custom's are filled with all sorts, including guys that are punching way below their weight class. They do that to get better set-up's in general, since Custom's don't give a lot of money (or anything). Rookie Series are a whole lot more open for having a fair shake, but that also depends solely on your driver skill and my shitty Int+Man build isn't going to compete a lot in the next few seasons. Also, learned a new thing... Apparently you can have multiple sponsors, so now I got 2 sponsors paying me around 11K a month making me an actual profit of 2K whilst having two staff members on the books.

Gazz Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I did notice that the guy on pole in one of my races is the #2 ranked driver in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Well let's see how Lanky and I got on... Ray Smithson (P21) and Chris Dewing (P20) were in the battle for position and Ray Smithson (P21) got through! Chris Dewing (P17) was fighting with Ray Smithson (P16) for position and did overtake him! Ray Smithson (P14) crashed after a driver mistake! Chris Dewing (P15) had a problem with the geometry of the chassis and stopped the car. Chris Dewing (P15) is out of the race! In more positive news I finished 9th in one race today after a late safety car allowed me to put my insane overtaking skills to good use. I still make a mistake on almost every lap though, how do I stop that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Lower 'Risky driving' on the race tactics I would assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also putting risky drive lower no doubt helps so he won't go aggro and try silly actions. Edit: Also, yay a second page!

Chris2K Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 My risky driving is already down to 20, any lower and I'm worried I'll stop driving altogether . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonM Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 My risky driving is already down to 20, any lower and I'm worried I'll stop driving altogether . I got it at 10 by default and I still DNF'd at Laguna Seca and Marina Bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky316 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Probably a huge fireball... Well let's see how Lanky and I got on... Ray Smithson (P14) crashed after a driver mistake! Correct, but at least I didn't crash into him in the process, I'd like to think that was the reason he withdrew a lap later. In my other race I was last of the finishers but at least I got round the track! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonM Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Just watched the qualification of Le Mans, noticed Berober was part of it too. he almost got into the top 20th if some slovakian prat didn't kick him out, big shame man. I got 17th, which is pretty nice for a skill-less driver. Those star drivers are a whole different ballgame though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonM Posted April 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Finished 10th at Le Mans and i'm very chuffed about that. It's funny how on a 6 lap race there was a SC on the track for half of those. Also Rober got 15th so grats to you man Followed that up with a 25th Q spot at Estoril, lol.

Chris2K Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 I'm just staying in my 20-25th range for qualifying and races. Have to say its getting a little frustrating but I guess it's a learning process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
