after some testing last night, the track will be suzuka, its a great track!

we had a bit of a 3-player race, with 15 minute qually, and the qually was great.

here's the plan, get some hotlaps done in time-trial mode, lets collect some PB's from people on Suzuka, then we will have non-equal cars, the best drivers have to use the worst cars.

Suzuka, get some laps done!

Awesome Chris, Suzuka was fantastic! Like the idea of people going in non-equal cars though, that should work well!

I'll get on it over the weekend, probably later tonight too actually but i'm away all next week.

When did you want to have a proper race??

We need a list of GamerTag's - I've got an idea to start a thread actually on that.... i'll do it now.

Had a quick go this morning (with a child on my knee) and managed a 1:35.517

Will have a proper crack at it tonight though

I think 'when' to have it depends on what works for most people.

weekday nights work best for me

hotlaps in time trial while people get used to suzuka, these times can guage what cars people should use.

race format would be a 15 min qually and a 10 or 20% race distance or whatever

any kind of assist you want

not been in time trial yet so my question may sound stupid...

Do people get a choice of car as surely that would make a difference on lap times

Nice one, another one on the list! Put yourself on the Xbox GamerTag list i created so we can keep track?

I thought it would be useful for everyone to add to one big list as if you go online you can quickly add everyone at once rather then scrolling through pages to try and find Live ID's.

Best option would be an online lobby, with the game mode set as "pole position" that way all cars are legal and we can see each others times etc so there are no hooky laps

Ok. Shall we all set a day/time and race format for the first "official" oOple race.

Also lets state the car rules and track to be used. After setting a time maybe we could all join a lobby and go on from there. I believe 1 person is then in control of that lobby, correct?

Well managed to get the game running before I went off to work. I had 20 minutes to get a quick few laps, and it is soooooo annoying. I had to sit through nearly ten minutes of sodding videos!!!

Eventually started career mode, left most the drivers aids on except for braking (it's called getting away with it 'cos I'm a girl! ). Got the Lotus to 1st in qualy (seeing as I was the first car out, went down to the back of the grid, and secured 6th place on the very last lap. Almost crashed when I realised I was coming up on Massa to pass him!

Did the first race, and I think I've realised how the human players are beating far faster cars, as I think I was a lot better in the corners, as the other cars have got a lot more straight line speed on me, but I am getting so pissed off at putting 1mm of tyre on the slippy stuff and spinning out, yet other places having the car half on half off the kerbs and accelerating.

Just got to wait for my wheel now

I was getting pissed off the other night.
Same thing, just touching the kerb, sometimes barely touching them, only for it to spin me out, even without the throttle on.
Racing at spa, trying to ride the kerbs in the chicanes, spinning out. Go to hungary.....you can throw the car all over those kerb, with the power on and still get away with it!
Too many incosistencies for my liking.
watch real F1, and they ride kerbs all the time and REALLY throw them over them too.

My other gripes, Racing wheel to wheel with other cars, only to get a blocking penalty!! WTF!
...and running 5th in bahrain, called into pits and not being released until EVERYONE had gone past. It then just got thrown at the crash barrier at the end of the pit straight in anger!!!

If they sort most things out when the patch is released, then this will be an awesome game, but I can't see them sorting much.


ANYWAY!!
I tried suzuka at shauns the other day, got a 1.33.5 I'll have to do it on mine tonight and see where I'm against all online.
