That idea of yours is pretty good XGT Taipan, except I would make it that the driver who comes 12th gets to choose teams first (then 13th, 14th, etc.), so that the midfield drivers get their choice of car while the really good drivers are paired with whoever picks them. Makes it a little more balanced IMO.
 
You’re still the last driver to pick his car at this rate. :p

Not that it’s an A1 season atm.
 
Lol, nice one Jef ;)

Blake: I agree with you on that, sounds a lot better. But the only problem is that we can't tell if a driver purposely tries to come last in order to get first pick of car.

The idea of A1GP Champ to chose first would be like a bonus prize. And because A1GP is all cars on an even platform, it would give every driver a chance to win races, no excuses.

Lol, no offence to the drivers that said no, but it's obvious that this means that you suck at A1GP, am I right? :lol:

It's the ideal series to prove yourself as a driver, and not a guy who drives for the fastest team.

Jef: Show me your balls fool, I thought you were a good driver, I even refered to you as one of the best.... and now you're sissying out on me? What's that crap?

At least us Aussies have big juicy balls, ain't that right Blake? ;)

It's also probably the reason for Mason's AWOLing all the time... off to unload some juice in Kings Cross :lol:
 
Due to a family emergency I have to leave for a while and won't be in a position to get on the net for anything. I have one outstanding batracer game which I would appreciate somebody (anybody) completing.

It's a LMES game, GT class, currently running 1-2 in game. Team mate is David Smith (WR#11); both Kawasie and Sharky have teamed with him before I believe. If you take over, please let him know I'm sorry I had to bail, but it was unavoidable.

Don't forget to let a mod know that you have taken over my account or they may lock it (and yours) as a multi-user. And change the password too or else somebody dodgy will read this and do something funny.

I'll talk to you all when/if I return.

Regards and Thanks,

How nice of you to share that info with us, you know, we tend to share that with the female half of the population but hey, if that's the way you swing..

I'm comfortable with my sexuality, I'm not worried what you or the rest of the female population think.

Suck on my Chocolate Salty Balls... put 'em in your mouth and suck 'em.

After all of the last discussions in here, I would ban you or at least give you a serious warning if I were a moderator because of the language you're using in your last post but then again, I'm not a moderator so behave while you still have the chance and please stop all of the useless discussing. It's just a game for crying out loud!

Fair comment, although it was a joke. Have you never watched South Park? Please don't tell me you haven't watched South Park!?

Oh, and incase you haven't 'Chocolate Salty Balls' aren't actually sexual... at all... they're a snack. lol Hence putting them in your mouth.

In all honesty I really don't want Bee's mouth around my "crown jewels". :lol:
 
jef, just read that you have the press kit,
what does it look like?

Like an adobe pdf file for the melbourne gp. Has following sections:

Media Centre - Press Kit Stuff

Formula 1 Information - Guide to the teams, driver, entry list, regulations, F1 car, facts and figures

AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX IN MELBOURNE - About the first race

FORMULA 1 HISTORY - World champions, aussie drivers in the gp

MAPS INFO CONTACTS - This section has the side on images of the cars and helmets.

Taipan, i hate the idea of going through a full a1 season just to determine slots for the F1 set. lol But if you really wanna go at it at A1, I better show you this from my archived games. I believe it was a GTP game:

2585 A1 Grand Prix P2 Private 23 Jun 2006

haha in all seriousness though, who really gives a ****. So one car is quicker then another, oh well, deal with it, try harder, try different stratagies, be different, you never know. All in all it is a game isnt it, and i know we all here at GTPlanet try create a BATracer season to be as realistic and serious as possible but in the long run is it really worth telling your mum that the rest of the world isnt playing fair everytime something doesnt quite go your way.

Oh and second note, that breif AWOL of last season was due to the moving of house....

Yes I have watched South Park but for those who do not watch it, this could come out in a whole different way ;)
 
I dont know why people are complaing about the Aguri..Its basically last seasons Honda, and in the 2006 carset you could win races and championships in that car..so its perfectly reasonable, i mean heck, for all we know Aguri could win a race this season! We have only had 1 race in 2007 and people are complaining abuot the fact that the batracer Aguri pace doesnt match its Aussie GP pace..

And the idea of using A1 to decide the F1 seats is nto good imo, I would lose interest very quickly if the GTP championship went that way.
 
While the concept of A1GP is good, I find and alot of others share the same opinion that A1Gp relies very heavily on luck..

if you have a crash or OE in practice you perform badly in Quali, you make up maybe 2-3 places in the sprint race and a few more in the feature. Rarely is it purely driver skill

EDIT: Also Lee, could you explain RLB a bit, intrested in signing up but the information is all over the place :)
 
lol, yeh, I'm over whining about it.

Anyway, about the A1 idea. Last season, or the season before if I remember correctly, the season was PAUSED for xmas, is that correct? If so, why not use just 1 event (qual, sprint, enduro) as a decider, and just keep pausing the game between F1 Seasons? Or even do the first race, and then abort the season (or does Jules or somebody have to delete a private season?).

Surely there could be some totally even and fair way of using BATracer itself to chose our race seats?

I beg to differ on that one. In the A1GP season that I won, I paid very close attention to who my main rivals would be, and only 2 or 3 people really showed out from the rest, but with agreeing with what you said, only 1 of those guys ever ended up posing a real threat, because the others had some unlucky races (but all 4 of us still made up the top 4 in the championship). But that's the whole point of using A1 to decide, it's all luck. It's also all luck on getting to this website in time for Lee to put up his lottery, or all luck with achieving your contract over a whole season. You could have the best car, the best setup, and every race get taken out by the guy next to you. That's not (always) your fault, it's luck. But at least A1 shows a simple evenly matched form of skill combined with luck. It means that the chance of someone being able to keep his Ferrari drive every season and dominate wouldn't occur often, and we could see lower skilled drivers being given the chance in a faster car, something they couldn't achieve in F1 because of the car difference.

I just think we should all pitch in for a new idea, and this is soething that looks like it could work, where it would cause no complaining about what car you have, or who has another car. (Yes, I know I'm the main one doing it, but at least I'm trying to fix it rather than drag it on).
 
I have a proposition:

Use the season results to determine the seats, e.g:

Say horton wins the title and davidson comes 22nd..davidson would take the seat horton had and horton takes davidsons seat, then 2nd top swaps with 2nd last and so on..

So if we have 12 drivers and the season finishes:

1. Horton, mclaren
2. Kawasie, spyker
3. Beyens, bmw
4. Butler, honda
5. Taylor, renault
6. Chang, williams
7. Hutchison, ferrari
8. Machiels, rbr
9. Haswell, str
10. AlMonen, toyota
11. Graham, renult
12. Davidson, aguri

the line up for S11 would then be:

1. Davidson, mclaren
2. Graham, spyker
3. AlMonen, bmw
4. Haswell, honda
5. Machiels, renault
6. Hutchison, williams
7. Chan, ferrari
8. Taylor, rbr
9. Butler, str
10. Beyens, toyota
11. Kawasie, renault
12. Horton, aguri

so, what do you think, take away choice and have a, take what you get thing.
 
Could work well there Ash, it would put alot of pressure on those in the mid field for sure.

Only problem I can see is if a season doesn't go someone's way, they could easially just go ka-put and give up for the rest of the season, how could we combat AWOLs with it?
