Jeez man I'm having a reaaalllly hard time with the car set to hard. I've decided I won't play carear until I get accustomed to A "sim" game again bloody nfs and it's arcade racing!

NESW20 · 09-26-2010, 04:16 PM

yeah, it's definitely got a bit of a learning curve. i think the main thing is to hit your braking points, and be PATIENT with the throttle.

Calais · 09-26-2010, 09:32 PM

yea thats where i stuff it up im too eager on the throttle but ironically in the rain i was doing my best driving after i calmed down and that was with only the traction on medium which is weird i was more settled in the wet lol.

did u watch the singapore grand prix? i saw alonsos qualifyer and was stunned on how late he was picking up the throttle, great race massa up 14 places WOW and the red bulls are just freaky with finding pace from nowhere

NESW20 · 09-29-2010, 01:09 AM

yeah, i saw singapore. that was an AWESOME race to watch. i got a kick of how easily Kubica passed people when he put on his fresh tires at the end. i wouldn't say the red bulls got pace out of nowhere, they're quick cars with a ton of downforce. singapore is a high downforce track, so it makes sense.

Calais · 09-29-2010, 06:34 AM

na i meant how vettel could just turn on the pace when he felt like catching back up to Alonso, everyone thought he was going flat out and he goes im not even trying that was mad. what about massa on 1 set of tyres for the whole race and from 24th moved up to finish in 8th position, just cant get enough of F1

NESW20 · 09-29-2010, 12:39 PM

oh, i thought it was apparent that vettel wasn't pushing that hard most of the race. he knew alonso wasn't going to let him pass and figured there was no point in using up his car the whole race.

i really think they need less durable tires though. Massa's race this time was fine, but when Button ran almost the whole race in Australia on the OPTIONS and still was running quick-ish times, i think something needs to change. there needs to be even more of a performance difference between the two compounds.

Calais · 10-01-2010, 02:12 AM

well the tires wont be this durable straight off with pirelli next yr, i mean they will be good but they wont be near as good as bridgestone in their first yr.

what about kobayashi in valencia, alonso in monaco amd there we acouple more i think someone on the options at silverstone but cant quite remember.

with a bigger gap in the compounds the races will be more like montreal, and that isnt necessarily a bad thing

Meanwhile, in Maranello.....

Congrats Seb!

i disagree. i was on the edge of my seat the whole time. just because there isn't tons of passing doesn't mean it's not great racing. my heart rate was elevated the entire race.

you knew what the outcome was the moment webber and the ferraris pitted and got caught behind petrov, hamilton was never going to pass vettel and it really didnt matter what button did the race and the championship was decided.

Button crashing into Vettel and Petrov taking out both Alonso and Webber would have made for an "unexpected" outcome.

Calais · 11-16-2010, 02:03 AM

i actually wouldve welcomed that but button wouldnt crash lol, although petrov taking out webber and alonso was kinda why i kept watching the race after the ferraris pit stops.

ahh well onto 2011 and a more competitive Lotus!!!!!

Dimman · 11-16-2010, 07:37 PM

Next year they're getting some new moveable rear wing that can reduce drag on a drafting car that they are hoping will allow more passing.

Should be interesting to see if it'll actually work. That was partly the idea of KERS too...

As for the Red Bull cars FIA is changing one of their scrutineering procedures as apparently Red Bull cars found some way to dynamically change their front wings or ride height in a way that the FIA doesn't like. (ie: no one else figured it out and complained to the officials)
