    Qualified eleventh and came eleventh, can’t argue with that. Still happy to beat my team mate, and can’t wait for the next race!

    Out of interest, @Joey-Zyla, without trying to make the game too complicated, have you thought about adding a technical side? For instance, in addition to Dry Speed, Wet Speed and Reliability, we also have Technical which determines how well we can set the cars up, which in turn sees improvements from practice to the race etc. In addition, it could also mean that perhaps as the season progresses, a good technical driver can make their car better. So if you say that Marussia and HRT are equal, then perhaps a good technical driver can improve the Marussia to mean that it is then capable of being more competitive with Caterham in terms of raw speed, or perhaps reliability, depending on the driver’s needs.

    OR, if you like the technical idea for the setup alone, but still want team improvement to play a part, then perhaps drivers can be given points to distribute towards their car throughout the season. For example, the McLaren keeps breaking down in the races (No surprise there), then the drivers can add points towards the reliability aspect of their car. Perhaps you need a certain amount of points into that field to improve that part of your car (Like 0/10, you need to reach the 10 to increase it by +1). Just a couple of thoughts. It might make the game more complicated, but nothing wrong with a bit of creativity ^_^

    That was just like one of my kart races… action-packed and aggressive but I end up going backwards. Amazing how it’s so realistic!

    Congrats JPH – great start for the Scuderia, but now I can’t use any excuses about the car being 1.5 seconds off the pace…

    Quick suggestion @joey-zyla can you show us the gaps between cars on the race updates?

    I think I only won thanks to it being a favourite circuit! Hopefully not though

    @enigma

    No fault of your own? You pushed me off the track mate. All the time you have to leave a space! Okay?

    I was clearly ahead though. You started 8 places behind me! You should’ve taken it easy and not forced your way to the front in such a rush! :D

    @Kingshark It’s not my fault you’re starting in reverse! :)

    @enigma
    The start more likely looked something like this;

    :P

    @jamiefranklinf1 – I actually considered something like that, maybe next season?

    @bullfrog – The gaps are just rough estimates based on each driver’s points gap, but I could introduce that next season.

    Official UBS Chinese Grand Prix Preview

    The second race of the season takes place on the Shanghai International Circuit. With Juan Pablo Heidfeld taking the win in the first race, other drivers, such as Cornflakes and BG0, will be looking to close the gap. Nicholas Sunderland and Ben will be looking to make up for their poor results at Melbourne. The circuit has a variety of challenging corners, and takes skill to master. All the pressure is on Juan Pablo Heidfeld to retain his points lead, but that will be no easy task, with Cornflakes, BG0, and Andae23 right behind.

    Laps: 56
    Chance of Rain: 20%

    Favorite Tracks: Cornflakes (Red Bull), Darran Grieves, Jr. (Williams), Enigma (Marussia)
