Q: How are you feeling about the upcoming season?
A: Nervous and quite negative. I’ve completed precious little practice and feel like i will be 5 or 6 seconds of lemons pace in oz…

Q: What expectations and targets do you have for this championship?
A: Would love to improve on 5th in the championship and take a win. Can’t see either happening until late in the season though.

Q: (For those returning from last season) How you can improve compared to last season?
A: More consistency. Better strategy.

Q: Are there any tracks on the calendar that will suit you?
A: Based on the limited game time so far Germany feels like it will be good to me.

Q: What do you think about your team mate?
A: Top guy and a pleasure to work with. looking forward to working with him in the prancing horse.

Q: How will you and your team mate work together to get maximum points for the team? Any tactics or strategy?
A: If I told you that, I’d have to kill you! :-p

Q: Who will be your biggest rival?
A: Hard one to call. As I’ve said, I feel like I’m starting on the back foot. Hopefully though I can renew my rivalry with @Strunk27, @ms20 and @mrgrieves and maybe give @Lemon something to think about (unlikely!)

Q: Who will be the surprise package this season?
A: A newbie. I reckon @Lemon‘s mate will be handy.

Q: Are you using a steering wheel or a pad?
A: Microcon 2 (Madcatz) wheel + pedals.

Q: Will you be recording the races to share on the forum?
A: Probably.

Q: Do you have a headset or if not, will you be getting one?
A: Yes, I have a headset.

Q: What are you expecting from the season opener?
A: I expect my pace to be poor, so will hope to have a clean race without too many mistakes and pick up a few points. If I could hit the top 6 I’d be really happy.

Q: What is your prediction for the top 3 in Australia?
A: @Lemon, @ljkobrien, @ms20

Q: How are you feeling about the upcoming season?
Not too sure, I was beginning to set decent lap times before my wheel broke and I’ve put off playing with a pad while waiting for my replacement to arrive (which still hasn’t) I think it’s going to take me a while to get into a consistent rhythm
Q: What expectations and targets do you have for this championship?
I’m hoping to consistently score points at first and then work my way up the table once I’ve found my feet, with number this season though, points aren’t always a certainty as they were in the past
Q: (For those returning from last season) How you can improve compared to last season?
Regular starts, a hectic schedule last season mixed with bad luck meant I only had 4 or 5 finishes to my name
Q: Are there any tracks on the calendar that will suit you?
Not too sure, although I’ve always enjoyed Australia
Q: What do you think about your team mate?
We had some terrific fights a couple of seasons ago, and were together during the last race of the previous season if I remember correctly too, hopefully we can push each other to our best without coming to blows with each other :P
Q: How will you and your team mate work together to get maximum points for the team? Any tactics or strategy?
I’d hope we can be open and exchange setups, as well as strategise pit stops, unfortunately I don’t think he uses a head set so communication during races may be difficult
Q: Who will be your biggest rival?
@PowderFinger and @ms20
Q: Who will be the surprise package this season?
No idea
Q: Are you using a steering wheel or a pad?
Pad for the first race, hopefully wheel/pedals after that
Q: Will you be recording the races to share on the forum?
Not sure yet
Q: Do you have a headset or if not, will you be getting one?
yes
Q: What are you expecting from the season opener?
Unpredictability, people in position they haven’t found themselves in in previous seasons would make a good opening race
Q: What is your prediction for the top 3 in Australia?
@Lemon @Strunk @infernojim

@ms20 @sparky2315 that’s fine with me. I’ll update the wiki when I’m back home later!

#
SparkyIceMan said 6 months, 3 weeks ago:

woop woop i have a team mate; hopefully learn alot from @ms20, its my sons funeral on the 5th nov so if there is a race it looks unlikely i will be there, unless i can drive drunk which is highly unlikely @MadDogMolloy

#
infernojim said 6 months, 3 weeks ago:

Feel a bit sad that there is no sauber on our grid this season…

#
strunk27 said 6 months, 3 weeks ago:

Hey @MadDogMolloy and everyone else a quick heads up.. I’m on the very outskirts of hurricane Sandy’s path so while I shouldn’t be getting the full extent of the chaos there will be high winds in my area. There could be a chance I’ll be without power so if I’m not there on time that is most likely what the issue is. Just thought I’d give you a heads up!

Jonny705 said 6 months, 3 weeks ago:

Q: How are you feeling about the upcoming season?
Excited about my chances. Nice to do races with a new set of people.

Q: What expectations and targets do you have for this championship?
Can’t say really as I don’t know how good the majority are here. I run Lemon pretty close in our co-op championship when he has the assists off, so hopefully it’ll be close with them on here.

Q: (For newcomers) What can you add to the championship? What sort of driver are you?
I can offer people a free pass at the start lol. I never ever get good starts, mainly because I’m too edgy at the first corner in order to avoid crashes. That does mean, however, that I am as clean as they get – although I have a knack of getting lengthy time penalties in races for accidental corner cuts. My record is 90 seconds.

Q: Are there any tracks on the calendar that will suit you?
Hermann Tilke’s circuits are all crap to watch on TV, but (other than Malaysia, China and Austin) I love them all on the game. Abu Dhabi is my favourite. The last sector, when put together perfectly, is just great.

Q: What do you think about your team mate?
Known mr Lemon for years in person so we’re a decent team.

Q: How will you and your team mate work together to get maximum points for the team? Any tactics or strategy?
Barge anyone off the circuit.

No seriously, Herbie takes this all very seriously so I imagine he’ll have some sort of plan in place weeks before a race lol. I believe he won every race last season, and he wants to win all 20 this time. With me around that won’t happen lol.

Q: Who will be your biggest rival?
No idea.

Q: Who will be the surprise package this season?
Ditto.

Q: Are you using a steering wheel or a pad?
Pad.

Q: Will you be recording the races to share on the forum?
Could do if you want. I have a high quality capture card, but by ‘high quality’ that means it eats up my PC space at 1GB per minute more-or-less. So full races are a no go.

Q: Do you have a headset or if not, will you be getting one?
Aye.

Q: What are you expecting from the season opener?
Podium maybe?

Q: What is your prediction for the top 3 in Australia?
Haven’t a clue how good the best are here so will guess…
1. Lemon
2. infernojim
3. Strunk27

Someone asked what my gamertag was a few pages back. It’s the same as my username here. Jonny705

Lemon said 6 months, 3 weeks ago:

Q: How are you feeling about the upcoming season?
Excited to see how the new physics model changes things and how doing 20 races will make it feel like a real life championship where you have to play the long game
Q: What expectations and targets do you have for this championship?
I hope to do well but to be honest even after the sprint championship last week i’m still in the dark about where everyones pace is.
Q: (For those returning from last season) How you can improve compared to last season?
it can only go downhill really, 100% win rate wont be possible with the new unknown quanities on the grid, also the law of averages suggests that 32 race wins in a row is very unlikely whatever the weather (no pun intended)….

Q: Are there any tracks on the calendar that will suit you?
Monaco tends to be a favourite
Q: What do you think about your team mate?
Hes quick, unbeatable on forza 4 he races with some of the best in the world. isn’t quite as well practiced on F1 (at least with assists allowed) but will get very quick very fast….
Q: How will you and your team mate work together to get maximum points for the team? Any tactics or strategy? Jonny seems to think I’ll have some master plan but thats not true I will only rely on what I already know.. and see how it goes
Q: Who will be your biggest rival?
hard to say
Q: Who will be the surprise package this season?
one of the newcomers for sure
Q: Are you using a steering wheel or a pad?
pad
Q: Will you be recording the races to share on the forum?
I tried once last season with my canon dslr, but it cut out halfway through the races as it has a limited time allowance for recording, so unless I get something more adequate then no
Q: Do you have a headset or if not, will you be getting one?
yeh
Q: What are you expecting from the season opener?
a strong team performance
Q: What is your prediction for the top 3 in Australia?

MadDogMolloy said 6 months, 3 weeks ago:

Q: How are you feeling about the upcoming season?
Very excited! I can’t believe we are already in our 3rd season! Even with the sprint races in the last couple of weeks, 2nd right to the back is so hard to predict!
Q: What expectations and targets do you have for this championship?
To finish on the podium a couple if times and achieve the maximum I can from every race. Hope to finish in the top 5 in the season standings.

Make less mistakes, more practice

He’s very good.. and a great person to race against.. Think we will resume our exciting battles this season.

Share set ups, talk during the race re: strategy. Although think his mic is broken..

My teammate @mcwoblin but also @infernojim and @mrgrieves

Electric went :(, but apart from the stupid conditions i think my qualifying went well

mrgrieves said 6 months, 3 weeks ago:

Fell asleep at the wheel and missed my lap in qualifying so qualifyied last. Totally didnt see the rain coming so being last i gambled on wets and that had me 1 minute a lap of the pace. So race ruined all i could do now was take out my team mate as i spun trying to get out the way. Great start to the season and really a crap end to a crap day. See you next week guys
