Hi, if all the physics and engines are equalized across all the cars, and the race layouts and track conditions that come with the CTDP don't mean anything, then Ill pick Midland seat 1, else ill pick something faster

brakes?!?! we don't need no stinking brakes!!!

lol, OK well ill do some practice runs to test.


On a side note...

Me and Congo_Toey (I used to be Congo_Jack) used to run a CTDP based league called Congo Racing.

We didn't want the cars to suffer the fact of being good n bad across the board and thus no driver wanted to be in the slower cars, but also didn't want all the cars to be the same as in other formulas, so we devised a strategy to make them similar.

We took the 4 best engines from that year...

Mercedes, Ferrari, Renault, Honda

And then the 4 best physics layouts...

McLaren, Ferrari, Renault, Honda... OK OK was the same I think anyway, Congo_Toey knows...

Anyway we then gave them numbers, Engines 1-4, Physics 1-4, and randomized them over the 10 teams, so the results came out as per example....

Ferrari
engine 4
physics 1

Mclaren
engine 3
physics 2

etc etc.... for all the teams

After some rigorousness testing, we had discovered we had created a rather nifty layout were all the teams became very similar in speed n handling, but also different enough to have an edge on cornering or speed or longevity etc.
In essence it played out very well over the season with similar times across the teams but also different enough to know you were playing to the strengths, and the beauty was no one knew what engine or physics they had in their team so was down to getting to know the vehicle.

Anyway i mention it as it seems to me that this would be a better layout for a league than all the cars the same... anyway just a thought

yay! welcome! lol

what times should we be looking for around this test track, and is there a way to see other drivers times?

-English

But my times have gone completely from the list as I would be in 11th place

I guess on the plus side I can hide my weekly shame...

is there an up to date seat list cause im completely confused as to what is taken or not and why there were 3 midlands and then 3 super aguris in the practice last week hahaha

- English

Thanks...

well being as i dont seem to be listed even though i mentioned the team before lol, i will take 'Torro Rosso Seat 1', unless there are any objections?

Also... Red Bull isnt listed

Hey, the last test race was extremely odd for me...

Apart from someone bashing me up the a*** during the parade lap, taking me out and having to start from the pits ... the rest of the race i saw everyone crash off within the first 5-10 laps, leaving just 3-4 of us...

By the time we got to lap 30, there was just 2 of us left, and then my brakes completely went, as in nothing there at all...

Odd because i had large disks and i was not driving hard or aggressive as there was just 2 of us...

So did all have this brake issue? and that's why everyone crashed? lol if so, id say the track has issues in its setup

'valkyria.plus' just let me know he wants red bull seat one, but is having issues with the forum so asked me to say it to you guys, so tack him on the list thanks...
