F1 Based online strategy game

[www.covunimotorsport.co.uk]

If you are bored of doing formula student coursework and need something to help you relaz then this is the game for you.

this is a fantasy style F1 game where, instead of being 1st person racing you have to setup a car. It is an internet based game where you join a team with another person, setup your car and driver characteristics then practise, qualify and race all of the F1 tracks in weeks rather then months. This is great fun

Sombody STOLE my Williams team...and forced me to be the stupid Red Team.. Pure sacrilege if you ask me.. Sounds fun though!

[www.covunimotorsport.co.uk]

The cars are all the same until your set them up and pick a strategy. Im super sguri and we kick ass in practise, came 3rd and 6th in qualifying. Due to someone hitting me i finished 12th but my teammate came 2nd

go 2002 Arrows chassis's GO!!!

I dominated my qualifying run.

Gotta take the underdog...

Go Toro Rosso!

[Dan G]

Aw poo. The site is blocked my my work's filter. Have to play from home until I figure out how to set up the proxy server.

[Dr Claw]

Well, start by hovering your mouse over the "garage" link at the top of the screen. you setup your car by guessing high or low on the common race car parameters using the sliders. you use the engineer's advice to get a start and try to hem in you're vehicle's handling and get the shortest possible lap times. i think cycleing tyres when testing is important so you dont wear them out before the race...but htis remains to be seen.

then you move on to qualifying strategy, race strategy and pit strategies. they are less invovlved than the setup of your car, but must be paid attention to. all this stuff gets taken care of in your 'garage' link.

also, for a given race, the full time sheets for practice, qualifying and race day are under the 'office' link and then go click on 'your desk' to see it all. hope it helps.

we also need more racers so this game can start! get guys from your team to join, we can make a race out of it :P

[www.covunimotorsport.co.uk]

Since i started this thread i thought i best get in on the game. Go Super Aguri!!!

I need a 2nd in command. The game is about teamwork, sharing setups with your team mates etc.

A few more people and we will have a full grid and the game can get underway

[SpdRcr]

sweet now we will really have to stop doing school work if we expect to get out cars done on time.....

im in.

haha, my thoughts exactly

[Sooner_Electrical]

I am in, Go Honda! already made a few mistakes but hopefully i can make up for them in race stratagy, which is wait for others to crash then go. Hope it works out for me.

[Kyle Walther]

we need 4 more people. lets go.. sign up

[Dan G]

Also, I think there were 2-3 guys already signed up that didn't do any practice laps yet. Whoever was my RBR teammate was one of them.

[absolutepressure]

Hellz yeah for the beemer! Lets kick some ass Micah!

[jaimin]

Dan G, we're good to go. RBR!!

[JerryLH3]

I haven't done anything yet but sign up. Trying to do this the week the cost report is due might not have been my best decision this week....

[Dan G]

Only one spot left. Mike, any guess to what kind of schedule/frequency this thing will run at once we're underway?

[B Hise]

i spend about 10-20 minutes a day on it.

- Bryan

[CMURacing - Prometheus]

yea, each race weekend lasts about 36 hours...12 for warmup and qualifying, and 24 for a second warmup and race.

[Conor]

Seeing as the first race filled up, anybody want to start a second one? Somebody let me know so I can join the festivities.

[cieutag]

I was gonna start a series after this semester, I'm in one now but the guys on the team want to start it after school is done, no reason to fail school trying to mangae a second formula team.

Chip

[Conor]

Good call. Let me know when you get it started.

[Dr Claw]

so who is going to win the first race? i predict a 1-2 finish by McLaren...

Hey, this thing is fun!

[Dr Claw]

Not when you lead 48 laps to get passed on the 2nd to last lap its not! I now have empathy for Flavio Briatore and Jean Todt when it happens to them...

It is good fun though, especially colaborating with your teamate http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Ryan Boysen]

Awe.. Looks like I read this thing too damn late.

Any1 interested in starting a new league?

[Erich Ohlde]

I started a second game
Name: 2006FSAE2
Pass: fsae

[jaimin]

Can I race in both and win? It seems that RBR may do what jag couldn't.

[Chris Allbee]

Don't worry claw, I wrecked in qualifying and haven't been able to get any good data for my setup, so you probably won't have to worry about that happening this race.

[Homemade WRX]

what's funny about this is the closer my car seetings get to spot on the slower my times became...two seconds slower...
go figure...

[Dr Claw]

were you using harder tyres? or maybe you had issues that "didnt show the realistic capabilities of your car"? I'm spot on for 10 of the 12 parameters and had issues with each of my warmup runs which is where my +.365 is coming from..so watch out everyone!

As for crashing during qualifying, it's still a race from P20 though!

-Ken

[cieutag]

Are you changing the tires that you are running? that can make a difference. I won the first race in the series I'm in, then crashed when I was in 3rd in the second race. We'll see how this one goes,

[Homemade WRX]

same tire type...just think it's funny...

[Chris Allbee]

Hey, it was hard work sanding those things...my shoulders have just now stopped being sore...

[nick roberts]

Nono, the sanding is well done, its the foam i was referring to. That and the fact that its impossible to pull an outer mold off the bucks without damaging them : )

Crazy sooners

-nick roberts
KU FSAE

[Chris Allbee]

I plan on going. i haven't heard from the guy in a while, but they took my money readily enough.
