Stealing my idea Mr Krautmeir? :lol:

Enter John Zimmer in Sauber, please. Frank is just a little too young for this...

Think of it as an oppertunity for the F1RWRS to have a proper off-season to sort the drivers out

Salamander · Post by **Salamander** » 22 Dec 2010, 12:02

James Davies will take the other Prost.

You don't need the game! You just enter, and my computer will take care of the rest.

Nathanael Spencer would love to fulfil his dream of driving for Minardi ;D

James1978 · Post by **James1978** » 22 Dec 2010, 12:21

James Chapman (ie me!) would like Benetton #8 please (as long as I don't get replaced by someone much younger than me for 3 races mid-season).

Post by **Londoner** » 22 Dec 2010, 12:25

I fancy being the Pedro Diniz of the series. I'd like the second Arrows seat, as Damon Cannon.

FullMetalJack · Post by **FullMetalJack** » 22 Dec 2010, 12:27

Ill take the second Jordan seat then, under the name Jack Christopherson

Jeroen Krautmeir · Post by **Jeroen Krautmeir** » 22 Dec 2010, 12:35

Updated to Christopherson.

We'll start when we get 4-6 more people.

Post by **tommykl** » 22 Dec 2010, 13:31

Thomas De Bock is interested in joining Sauber.

Shizuka · Post by **Shizuka** » 22 Dec 2010, 13:48

Hagane Shizuka is interested in the #7 Benetton seat.

1. I liked Benetton
2. #7 is my lucky number

Jack O Melley · Post by **Jack O Melley** » 22 Dec 2010, 13:48

Giovanni Roda is interested in driving for Mastercard Lola. Is that possible? =D

Jeroen Krautmeir · Post by **Jeroen Krautmeir** » 22 Dec 2010, 13:55

Both accepted.

I'm off for my nap now, and probably wont be online until tomorrow, leaving time for more signups.

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » 22 Dec 2010, 13:56

Phoenix McAllister, Spanish F3 champion, debuting in F1 for McLaren, car #9.

shinji · Post by **shinji** » 22 Dec 2010, 14:58

Go on, Ed Kevin, young Irishman, number 2 at McLaren to Phoenix.

AndreaModa · Post by **AndreaModa** » 22 Dec 2010, 15:44

Sammy Jones at this point is rather occupied with F3 at this point in time, so in his place, welcome Mitch Herrtz to the 1997 grid.

With a German father and English mother, born in Munich and raised in Skelmersdale, the Lancashire accent was an unavoidable by-product of his upbringing. Nevertheless Herrtz has impressed in the lower formulae and Ken Tyrrell has rewarded this success with a drive in the first seat of his Tyrrell team.

Despite his German father, Mitch races with an English licence, determined to bring F1CC glory to the UK.

So err yeah number 18 at Tyrrell please for Mitch Herrtz

Shizuka · Post by **Shizuka** » 22 Dec 2010, 15:57

Mild Seven Benetton-Renault Pre-Season press release
We're happy to announce our two drivers for the 1997 season in the F1CC. Our #7 car will be driven by Hagane Shizuka with a Japanese license from Hungary, and the #8 car will be driven by James Chapman. We'd like to wish them the best with our team.
The team does not have a disputed #1 driver. We're trying to give both of them the best equipment and opportunity throughout the season.

Pointrox · Post by **Pointrox** » 22 Dec 2010, 17:34

Add Emil Klok for #19 Tyrrell

Warren Hughes · Post by **Warren Hughes** » 22 Dec 2010, 17:54

I wasn't going to join up for this, but I just can't resist... Stick 'the real' Warren Hughes in the #23 Stewart please!

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 22 Dec 2010, 19:27

Pippa Mann would like the ill-fated MasterCard Lola seat while Douglas Mann will fulfil a lifelong-held ambition to drive for Williams-Renault.

Ferrim · Post by **Ferrim** » 23 Dec 2010, 00:53

Miguel Zapatero has just been announced as Ferrari driver. He will use #5.

BTW, if you let a car parked by the side of the track in F1C, the other guys will slow down as they go past that zone (yellow flags). It's not that bad until you find out that they slow down and accelerate again at different places and conditions: sometimes they'll go flat out, other times they'll slow and will be overtaken by people not slowing down...

The easy solution is trying to park around a corner. There's a better solution that will avoid yellow flags being displayed, but it requires a bit of tampering with the .PLR files so that you can stall the car at will. (If you stall while you are in the pitlane, yellow flags are not displayed and the other cars keep running at normal speeds all the time).

I'm a geek of simulating races and championships in F1 games, and F1 Challenge is my favourite one, you know...

David Koczo (HUN) would like to join to team Stewart. 8-)

I actually meant speeding ahead then turning into the pitlane and entering one of the garages. As far as I know, there probably wont be many crashes, it being F1C AI. However, I'll tweak the PLR files a bit. I'm a modder myself you know, I'm working on 1993 now.

Anyway, updated the sign up list

It says a lot about this forum and its members that all of the back of the grid seats go way before the front running ones!

Jeroen what have you done in the way of car performance to the AI? Is it untouched or are they all equalised, or have you given some cars *cough*Minardi*cough* an advantage?

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 23 Dec 2010, 14:01

Pippa Mann in the top-10 in a Lola? And ahead of both Stewarts? And 1.15 seconds ahead of her teammate? Holy merde! And Douglas on pole...

I didn't give Minardi an advantage

I decided not to make the RCD files identical, but they are nearly the same, so it depends on your luck if you got that near advantage. I'll change the files every race.

9th is a good start. I'm happy with 9th.
