I don't like the MINOLTA anymore, it's demoralizing to drive a car that eats its tyres in 7 La Sarthe laps... is it possible to turn up at the season finale with a different car (like the BMW) and get no points? :p I want to wreck it... the MINOLTA.

Well BK doesn't allow car changes but if you pull out and then get someone to do a OMG post where they are like "Why would such an important and experienced driver leave the series?" post, then you come back and say "Well, since I am so loved and respected I may as well re join as a reserve in the LMR" and since you pulled out you loose all previous points and have to start again.

Or you could just change car and score 0
 
Even though I write like that it could have another meaning, especially with a :p - smiley :) Of course I'm not leaving the MINOLTA yet, but it's certain that it has become a terrible car after the update. I chose it for its tyre wear and good speed - it wasn't the fastest, but it was better than the others after 5 laps. Now it's worse at everything... :grumpy:

Perhaps I just don't think I'll do too well... I am making myself a very small outsider ;)

I think, no matter how Seca goes, the favorites to win the finale are like this:
1. Mav
2. Jake, Jam, MU, Senna, Tissimo, BK, Johny, Blaze, Razor
3. Hmm maybe me?
4. Mike, Mike, Golfer, CJR, Peter

Sorry if any of you feel I'm making you worse than you think you are. If that is the case, throw a quote-pic at me, lol.
 
@bombe32, I have made a few crucial corrections to this list

Edited finale winner favourites
1. Mav
2. Jake, Jam, MU, Senna, Tissimo, BK, Johny, Blaze, Razor
3. Hmm maybe me?
4. Mike, Mike, CJR, Peter
5. A hedgehog
6. Golfer

I think that is more appropriate based on recent, and distant, performances

Fixed. :lol:

Optimism FTW.

I'm feeling a bit more confident about this race. I've managed to take the Minolta to about 16 laps on a set of tyres without really felling the need to pit. That's somewhat similar to the tyre wear that tissimo said he was getting, so I think i'm in a good position for the race, plus i'm able to lap a 1:12, which could put me high up the grid.
 
golfer vs. hedgehog.

id love to see that one lol...

It'll be a tough one but golfer will find a way as he usually does. and win..
my money's on golfer :)
 
do you guys like the current points system?

bombe, you can go ahead and combine me an cjr, since mav has never been here i guess we can be part of the same official team

I was hoping for a youtube video of an angry hedgehog tacking a golfers golf ball to sum it all up. Safly, there is nothing.

Also, I was thinking that instead of giving Peter a cake, I can give him a cupcake. They would be very scrumptous. So, how about testing today?

Oh yes, I forgot the hedgehog... sorry about that.

Notice that I say La Sarthe :) The reason I was so slow at Seca was because I have the best gear ratios for La Sarthe with the MINOLTA.. its top speed used to be 333km/h (slower than a stock Enzo!!!), now it's 347km/h. Nevertheless, the MINOLTA still suck at La Sarhe IMO...

I like the points system, but I think there could be added some kind of trash-round next season, so that it would be able to skip one race and still get full points, because it's the worst round. That's one of my suggestions, but let's take that conversation later :)

BTW: How can you credit Jam for making the fastest lap when no one knows how fast it was? I'm pretty sure I did a 1.45 btw, can't remember though, lol :D

unfortunately I will not be at Le Mans, have a buddy's wedding I have to attend out of town :(

Hoping for a good result this weekend to secure a top 5 in the Drivers Championship though.

I knew that, but I didn't remember when I mentioned the favorites... guess I was too tired :sick:

I defenatly set a 1:51.0. It's just I don't know the last two digits.

Your more on the money than you think. Never heard of this character?

Funny looking LMP car. But I think this guy would give Mav a run for his money. Hmmm. We should make a Mario Kart type game except throw it all away and just have loads fo open cockpit LMPs with Sonic in them. Then the closed cockpits would just have a sunroof with Sonic stciking out.
 
Hey peeps. The press preview day from F1 2011 was yesterday. Some CM forum members took pictures. Check em out:

Then new HUD

Ferrari in the wet at Spa

Full throttle into a wall, DO NOT say a word.. I know.

Red Bull cockpit

Mclaren at Silverstone

Despite it being smaller this is my personal favorite. It's scary how real it looks

And here's a gameplay video: http://community.codemasters.com/forum/f1-2011-general-discussion-1403/468713-piperalphas-plethora-press-preview-photographs-videos-16.html

Looking good so far, and in the video damage is on cosmetic ;)

It looks amazing. I look forwards to our 0-stop race on soft tyres. That will be amusing. Especially at Malaysia or Turkey. Although, ever since I played the 4th entry to the series, one game has had my attention more than any other game can hope. The one, the only, Elder Scrolls with the new game coming 11.11.11, SKYRIM
Skyrim-Logo-485x284.jpg



Oh, and I look forwards to a few other too. Equatria Online (a My Little Pony MMO) will be interesting. Although, I hope it comes to mac
 
I'm only bothered about 4 games. F1 2011 (being primary), Battlefield 3, Uncharted 3 and FIFA 12. Maybe MW3 if I can be bothered but to be honest it looks like BF3 will own it so I have no need for COD :)
 
when i have F1 2011 you will see me never again on GT5 THAT GAME LOOKS FREAKING AWESOME
 
oo. then we can all race in a league. and Jamman can pretend to be Mark Webber and i'll be vettel.... ;) did anyone else you know that Jamman is actually a huge Jenson Button fan?

i have F1 2010 but hardly play it because theres never any people in the online rooms and alot of the time you join a room and the host isn't there so the race never starts..

unless your buying BF3 for PC you are going to get a crappy , 24 player only, reduced graphics, console port..
 
Hi Guys, if there is still a free spot in this series was wondering if I can join. Not picked any car yet need to double check what LMP cars I have in garage maybe a 787b.

In the initial posts race times are
Online Lobby will Open @ 12:00 PM Eastern
Qualifying Race Starts 12:30 PM Eastern
Race Starts 1:00 PM Eastern

Assume that those are Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) times which would be following times in my GMT+1 (BST) time zone.
5:00pm Lobby opened
5:30pm Qualifying begins
6:00pm race starts



Those F1 2011 screenshots look great SebVettelFan. So glad they got rid of that colour filter they had in F1 2010. If they can improve the physics which it definitely looks like they have in first developer diary video and sort out the framerate on PS3 version then should be good. If you guys do decide to run a tire endurance race on super softs or league on PS3 version then would be up for that.
 
Great photos Jam, and yes cant wait for BF3, played all of the series back when 1942 was out. Yes i do wish i had a decent pc but the ps3 verson will have to do. Battlefield beats CoD anyday of the week.
 
Kirk is joining the LMP!!!

I don't think I can contain my excitement any more
 
I'm concerned that you might actually watch this show golfer.....Looks like rubbish lol

Your concerned? I have watched the first 16 episodes. IT ROCKS!! You should really watch the first 2 or 3 episodes before you judge the show by its title. Rainbow Dash is just sooo cool and Pinkie Pie is unbelievably random. It rocks.
The Bronies are having a GT5 race this weekend to win cars in colours of the main ponies.

Yes graphics will be worse than PC. I'll get over it though. I buy a game for good gameplay and good game in general. And that isn't going to change between the PC and consoles. And I think I can live with 24 player :)

Cool. I look forward to thrashing you on it :p

Also glad everyone seems as excited as I do about F1 2011 :)
