LFC2K6 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) It's that time of year folks! After the huge success that was our world championship on F1 2010, I see it as logical to assume there will be round 2 and so, I present to you all the sign up thread. Now, at the time of typing this, no date has been set for the new season, hell, no discussion has even taken place regarding it, but I assume if last years is anything to go by, it will happen, and it will happen around the middle of October. I am reliably informed that F1 2011 will have enough room for 16 human players in one lobby, thus provisionally leaving us with 4 spaces to fill. I've taken the liberty of adding all those who finished last season, to the start of this, including the car they were driving. Obviously any member of "the famous 12" is free to pull out, though I assume until I hear otherwise, you'll all be in. Drivers are as follows... 01. Noddee 1984 | Red Bull -----> Lotus Renault GP 1 02. Daenius | Virgin -----> McLaren 1 03. o H i T M a N z | Williams -----> Lotus Renault GP 2 04. blue smarty | Ferrari -----> Red Bull 2 (Ferrari) 05. xI BR4D Ix | McLaren -----> Red Bull 1 06. alphamaniac89 | BMW Sauber -----> Toro Rosso 1 (Will just accept whatever's left as he probably won't make a lot of races) 07. LFC2k6 | Renault -----> McLaren 2 (Williams) 08. Slowinfastout | Mercedes -----> Mercedes 1 09. Tully123 | Lotus -----> BMW Sauber 1 10. xX Patriot Xx | Toro Rosso -----> Mercedes 2 11. Matt16594 | Provisional entry -----> Force India 1 12. Jack DC 93 | Provisional entry -----> Toro Rosso 2 13. iMcGlasson x X | Provisional entry -----> BMW Sauber 2 14. Quicksand Jesus | Provisional entry -----> Williams Cosworth 2 15. O1 Hellraiser | Provisional entry -----> Force India 2 16. iPinkMorph | Provisional entry -----> Williams Cosworth 1 Reserve driver 1. Rossdog 12 -----> Toro Rosso 1 Reserve driver 2. TeL2K7 Reserve driver 3. ryry2K10 Reserve driver 4. ii aM GhaNDi x Reserve driver 5. Pined x360a Reserve driver 6. Myth FTW Reserve driver 7. Sgt H Stiglitz Reserve driver 8. Varbos To those who wish to fill a vacancy please have the following 3 things in mind before applying. Firstly, we are competitive but always fair, there is no ramming or cheating here, just out and out racing. If you do not agree, don't apply! Secondly, if at any point during the race you disconnect/quit, we won't restart it for you. It's a pain yes but had we done, we would still be going now. Thirdly, possibly most off putting. Last years championship started in early October and ended mid-March. In short it took 5 months due to not being able to arrange dates due to commitments and time differences. If you're okay with all that's written above, please register your interest in here and when we discuss the new season we'll be sure to include you Thanks to Brad, we now have an awesome website to keep track of everything. This is getting a bit cluttered and I'll be having a clear up when we have all drivers sorted into teams. Click here http://www.newstargames.com/brad/x360a/f1-2011/ Have put an example of our races below... apologies for the music, I didn't make it xD [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCsPKayXCFo]X360a F1 Championship - Round 18 Brazil - Race - YouTube[/ame] Edited September 22, 2011 by LFC2K6 Updated everyones Gamertags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noddee 1984 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) oh looking forward to this like think we need to discuss assists in this one. oh and assist now cum with a weight penalty now so the more u run the heavier your car is.

LFC2K6 Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 oh looking forward to this like think we need to discuss assists in this one. oh and assist now cum with a weight penalty now so the more u run the heavier your car is. Well it's one for discussion... But with assists apparently coming with a weight penalty, then I don't really see a problem with leaving them all on as choosing them comes with known risk. As long as they're not huge penalties. Hundredths of a second I see as reasonable. If it's actual seconds then we would need to discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jd070993 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Well, I have to see about when you are gonna run your races (if it's the weekends, then that's fine, as long as it isn't too late), and I have to see if I'll actually get the game, but if I do, I'll be glad to join in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o H i T M a N z Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I think so far its only Nick ( Pined ) that wont be part of this championship, i'm not going to comment on what should be allowed or not because we don't know what the game will be like until we have played and tested it. All in can say is i cant wait ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFC2K6 Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 I think we should do what we did last year in terms of, we give people a few weeks to get used to the game, KERS, DRS etc... Then maybe a practice race or few with differing rules to see what everyone would prefer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pined5551 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) Yes, as Noddee says. I am not able to part take this season. I am not taking my xbox to Uni this year as there is simply nowhere to put it. I don't have anywhere near as much space, plus i'm sharing an internet connection with 5 people instead of 3 which could make me a lagging annoyance I am very gutted I cannot stay and defend my title, but you guys will no doubt have fun without me... perhaps more lol I will be in these formus to see videos and hear about the races so lots of details please haha. Also, I will be back around Christmas time if you want to all get together perhaps some time between Xmas and NYE for a race I can take part in. Just so I can relive the experience and see I how I measure up againt you guys on this version of the game. Best of luck! Lastly, this year will obviously result in a new champion.... Race of champions on Dirt 3? The super special stages are pretty sweet! lol. Edited August 25, 2011 by pined5551 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01 HELLRAISER Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 hey guys can i get a slot i missed out last year but followed ur season sounds like a good laugh with actual racers i will check back in a few days to see ur decision thanks:Bounce: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noddee 1984 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 well it looks like theres plenty of people interested in joining us this year think we made a good account of it last year. think if we get 16 we shud run teams makes more sense and add a wee bit of team running again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we'll have to sort out logistics for this year when the game drops and the season comes closer, but concerning teams and including AI I'm not too sure this is such a good idea.

I guess we'll have to sort out logistics for this year when the game drops and the season comes closer, but concerning teams and including AI I'm not too sure this is such a good idea. I was thinking that hopefully we can manage to get an even number of people, say the full 16 (I don't think we should have a.i. for the sake of a 24 car grid, human players only) and split everyone into pairs. Then we could have a constructors title going along with the drivers title. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o H i T M a N z Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 My opinion - As many human players as possible. NO AI PLEASE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFC2K6 Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 My opinion - As many human players as possible. NO AI PLEASE I agree 100% with this. I've never liked racing the A.I. on F1 2010 much, so would like to keep them away for 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtual Michael Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 When can new players be confirmed as part of the 16, because I play fairly and would be up for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkBlue62 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I woul be buying this game this year. Played the last one at my brothers and enjoyed it but never bought it as this one is out very soon. I would love to be apart of the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x13radx Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) Despite this year being a bit more hectic for me as I am going to Uni & such, I will definitely be racing again this season! Cannot wait for the game to be released. In response to the thing about giving us all a few weeks to get used to the game, I agree and think starting our season mid-October would be a decent time. I have also put together another website for us to keep track of standings & such, plus it's a bit more interactive this year as you can click completed races and see all the race-times and complete race classifications. I will put it up on my website once we have some driver's join & agree on our first race date. I really hope most of the driver's from last year can all participate this year, as we had a great group of guys & nobody was a dirty bugger (Apart from maybe my insane overtaking stunts that happened occasionally ) EDIT: Also, definitely no AI please.

Noddee 1984 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 looks like there cud be about 8 of the first season drivers so plenty of spaces for others. once the game comes out. think we will run a couple o prctise races get an idea of who gona be clean and fair.
