Grand Prix Rejects

Julien

I'm gonna check this out soon. Do you have the same issue with DM's other mods? I could play '94 and '95 without issue.

Julien

Lauda is the past. And he is a world champion. I can't see why would he accept any offer from a newly established backmaker team.

Julien

This game is one of the biggest "could have been" in F1 gaming history. It had EA backings, complex system, dynamically changing driver, car and part stats, a car composed of several components, you could actually recolor your car with your sponsors... And they still managed to completely ...

Julien

I got F1 2013 today and I gave it a try. It wasn't worth it. Not taking into account that the controls are awkward, you have no sense of speed whatsoever so you constantly have to watch the tachometer, there is no tire skid sound so you don't get any response if you're too slow or too fast in the co...

Julien

Large for Ayrton Senna, medium for Stefan Johansson. We either need a raw diamond, or an experienced veteran to improve our car. Ideally I would like two Empires on the field, one for a young prodigy (Senna, bellof or Berger) and another for a veteran (Johansson, Jarier, or maybe de Cesaris)

Round 10 - Hungarian Grand Prix At home I love when we race in Hungary, because at the end of the day I can sleep at home, in my own bed! Not many drivers have this kind of luxury…” The two weeks between the German and Hungarian GP passed rapidly for Pacific. While Wiggins was busy making peace wit...

Julien

Walter Röhl. Nothing mroe to say

Julien

Poor di Resta... He had a great race with a chance of a great result, and one single driver error ruined his whole weekend...

Julien

Hamilton was 9 when he Joined McLaren, so we could get Schumi to our talent program

Julien

It's 83 right? let's dibs on Schumacher before he gets to Sauber

Julien

Lauda-Prost front row, Lafitte only 18th. I smell a dramatic ending coming up

Oh yeah, make bid for Senna and Bellof ASAP!

Julien

Finish the session only if there is no more time to make an out + hot lap, otherwise many AI cars will do a last run ignoring their previous performance. I had a few cases when midfielders suddenly became polesitters when I finished the qualifying 3 minutes before it ended. When I roll full session ...

Julien

You can't influence that as far as I know.

Julien

This is really not fair, because Vettel and Alonso can collect twice as much medals as Clark for example, as they have 20 races per year to run and in the 60s there were only 9-12...
Sure, more races mean more fun for us, but they render all these comparisons pointless

Julien

Round 9 - German Grand Prix Treachery As it was expected, the tickets for the German Grand Prix were sold out. German Formula 1 fans wanted to see from close as their favorite, Michael Schumacher takes revenge over Damon Hill for the defeat in Silverstone. A monumental task, if you consider that Be...

Julien

1) Handling
2) Renault. Hopefully they will help us to find a good French driver too

Julien

Don't forget Prost, and with a few DNF, even Lauda could come back to the game. I can't see the potential in Tambay though.

Julien

Round 8 - British Grand Prix Encore Welcome to Silverstone, the birthplace of Formula 1! This classic circuit is one of the iconic venues of the season, despite having rather outdated facilities. This is also Damon Hill’s home Grand Prix and everyone expected from the Williams driver to reduce his ...

Life could talk about this

I wouldn't want to get Johansson, I would try to offer to Senna right now

Julien

1. Right now
2. Yes, we need to be a serious team. The second car can be given to a hot prodigy with no money demands or to someone who brings sponsors.

Julien

What, we're only two minutes behind the leader

Julien

May I suggest to contact some young hotshots immediately and offer them a pre-contract for the next season?

Julien

Both mod genre have their pros and cons. The CK mod uses physics almost identical to the stock game, and thus, it is better balanced. But it lacks some of the tracks, has outdated visual quality and almost completely misses mid-season changes, and sometimes it crashes. DM's mod has top quality visua...

Julien

Round 7 - French Grand Prix Clouds, covering the sky The greatest news of Formula 1 before the French Grand Prix was the return of Nigel Mansell, although it was only a one-race occasion, mostly for promotional reasons for Renault. The British Lion made it clear that he is focusing on his IndyCar s...

Julien

Uh-oh... That was just too close to the DNQ zone. We're slowly falling back in the field... We are already annihilated by not only the turbos but DFVs as well.

Julien

You play David Marques' mod. The AI is very easy to beat, even on 100%, because it can't control the cars on an optimal level. You have to increase the difficulty as high as 115-120% to meet a real hardcore challenge. Another thing about David's mods is that they are not perfectly balanced. Sure, th...

Julien

But F1 needs 'lulz' teams too! We need heroic backmakers who fight for qualifying on an event!

Julien

This, in most of the cases has nothing to do with the number of the cars. If the car simply leaves the track and crashes (typically in Monaco and Montreal), that's because of the physics of the mod you're using. The AI was designed for the stock physics of the 99-02 cars with high gripping tires and...

Julien

Depends on the weather really. If the predictions are good, go back to Brands and save on the transportation costs. If the weather is bad, go back to Paul Ricard once again. If it rains there too, go to Jarama. The weather must be good there.

Julien

Guinnes. Let's hope that we can find someone else in case they jump out.

Julien

My earliest vivid memory of an F1 race is from the 1991 Portugese Grand Prix, although it was only a short report of the race. But it was at the end of one of our video tapes, so it burned into my memory I know I watched some races later, but the first one I can 100% sure I watched was the 1996 Hung...

Julien

Coulthard perhaps?

Julien

Yeah. I miss those 26 starters, 9 finishers races

Julien

I still prefer F1 Challenge above any of those.
rFactor has no real weather simulation, plus AI is eve more awkward than F1C's.
GP4 has limited modability, it can't support more than 22 cars and 17 races.

Julien

Wet tyres. We're dead last anyway, we can only profit if the others are crashing out.

Julien

You forget about 2000: GP3 The first simulator with dynamic weather. It was epic

Julien

That's why I don't play Codemasters' F1 series. It is just ridiculous... I'm not saying that it will stay the same forever, but so far, F1C or F1GP2-3-4 are far better than anything the new series could offer. Including fair challenge.

Julien

We should employ that guy

Julien

Round 6 - Canadian Grand Prix Business as usual The Canadian Grand Prix was, after a very long time, the first event when nothing dramatic happened. The mood in the Montreal paddock was the best since the ’93 Australian GP, except of McLaren, who were fighting with Senna for the Championship one ye...

Julien

I agree. Focusing on speed seems like the next logical step in our development.
