PS3T F1 League v4.5

Recommended Posts

Next Race: Abu Dhabi Grand Prix (Sunday 8th September 2013, 6:30pm)

 

After two leagues completed on F1 2011, and one league on F1 2012, we are now preparing for the PS3T F1 League v4.5. Please read the rules below before you confirm whether you are racing or not.

 

Please note that we are using 2012 settings (this is based on the cars' performance in real life, so obviously the slower drivers are in quicker cars and the quickest drivers are in slower cars). I will not limit the amount of sign-ups, but the teams are finely balanced, so please consider that if you are of a different pace to the cars available, then you may have to be put in a car that is too fast/slow for you.

 

 

For anybody new here, this is the basic outline of our leagues:

- We are not a 'professional' racing league. This league has been created purely for fun and enjoyment, and clean racing of course, as explained in the following paragraph. We do not currently have a website for the current league.

 

- We do, of course, want a competitive and exciting league. But we also want a clean and fair standard of racing.

- All racing assists are permitted, except for braking assist, (which is dangerous to other racers if permitted) and pit assist, which is banned because of the white line penalty rule.

- You are permitted to use a controller and wheel/pedals.

- We will race the full F1 circuit calendar for the 2012/2013 season.

- Races will be 50% distance with Qualifying. Tyre and fuel sim will be on. We will be using equal cars, to ensure a level playing field for everybody.

- Races will be every Sunday evening at 6:30pm (GMT). We will usually allow an additional few minutes if somebody is late or having connection difficulties. It is still recommended to be online for 6:15 so that we can be ready to go as soon as possible.

- If you happen to disconnect from the race, there will be no restarts.

- Blue flags- If you see a blue flag, immediately let the car behind through. If you feel you are considerably faster than the car who just lapped you, you are allowed to make a pass. However, if it costs the driver a big amount of time (at least 2-3s) then you may be penalised. I will check at the end of each race.

- If for some reason you have lost your front wing during a race and have gone off, please stay off the racing line. This can cause accidents, especially when you return to the track in another car's path, which is also not allowed.

- If an incident is caused by lag, you must give the place back within the current lap. Failure to do so will result in you being penalised.

 

PENALTIES

 

Penalties missed by the CPU can be given out after the race. In addition, penalties awarded by the CPU can be taken off after the race if they are too harsh. Here is the basic outline:

- 10 Seconds for Dangerous Driving that negatively impacts an opponents race.

- 30 Seconds for Dangerous Driving that ends an opponents race.

- DSQ for Deliberate Dangerous Driving in an attempt to purposely damage or crash out an opponent.

- If the accused driver didn't finish the race, or the incident is especially deserving of further punishment, then race bans of varying length can be enforced.

- If one driver causes continued accidents through poor car control and not through over-aggression, you may still be banned to protect the enjoyment of the other racers.

We all hope however that such penalties will not be needed! Please make my job easier by keeping every race clean! ;)

 

(This penalty system may be refined before the season begins.)

Wooo I want to start testing straight away :p

 

 

(how we're going to find a team mate for Dust I'll never know ;) )

 

I'll set an official date & time this week for testing (but of course anyone can organise practice whenever), it'll probably be Sunday 5th at 6:30 to be honest.

I'm sure we can find someone that can be Dust's team-mate xD

According to Dust and Jim's tests, it's 4th quickest behind the McLaren, Ferrari & Red Bull :)

 

nahhh I'm not having it :p If you look when you do that season challenge thing, the Williams is in the 2nd lowest tier and the Lotus, Merc etc is in the above....

 

Can you switch me and dust? Im not gonna put in much time to practice as im merely in for fun. So I could use a car that is slightly faster than dust and jim (as they will probably put in heaps of time).

 

 

I am only in to have fun, but I will take the faster car over my rivals thank you very much :think:

Having tested both last night, I felt much more comfortable in the Lotus. I got a 1:22.4 in it and a 1:23.3 in the Williams. I'm not the fastest, as Stevo beat me by 0.6 in quali (though it would have been more like 0.2 if I hadn't have messed up my last quali lap). We seemed pretty close in the race, Sgillies had great pace in 3rd, he was running at a similar pace to Dust & Jim ahead and the same pace as me and Stevo behind.

 

Oh I remember the Sauber, one of the best cars I have ever driven, won Abu Dhabi with it if you forget pens. But I remember me & Jamie in the Ferrari at Germany, I think we were ahead of the rest by a minute and I nearly passed Jamie on the last lap :p And I was 2nd in the Ferrari Jamie at the beginning of the season, but after about race 9 you out-paced me pretty much every week in both that and the Sauber ;) But after last night, I've switched the teams around:

 

Red Bull: Sgillies, MOD

Williams: N/A

Lotus: Panda, LL

Sauber: Bulk, Tay

Mercedes: Stevo, Jamie (might switch Jamie with Bulk)

Force India: Remco, Lunatic

Toro Rosso: Dust, Jim (or Warlord)

Caterham: Warlord (or Dust & Jim)

 

Jamie you need to join us for a practice as I'm not sure which team to put you in :p

I was very happy with the Toro Rosso.

 

The field have all been shifted down teams and I knew this would work, now that no one is in the Ferrari and the Force India is being used I can now compete nicely.

 

I'm definitely not too fast because I was still only 4th in Qualifying and I had a lightening start and got by all 3 cars ahead of me, then Luke spun but was catching us so yeah Toro Rosso seems the perfect fit so far.

Ketch, Warlord is the Champion of V4 so he should get the slightly slower car :p :D

It doesn't matter how much time we spend doing practice, I would be mad if I though I was being at a disadvantage purely because I put more effort in.

I wouldn't say that Warlord was faster than you tbh DS, if anything there's very little to separate you, Jim and Warlord... What's the closest car to the Toro Rosso anyway? I'm too lazy to try and find the test results again lol

 

From what I can remember, lastnight we did eventually start closing the field together. Some thoughts;

 

 

I don't think Remco was happy with the FI,

I only tested Sauber,

I'd say me & Bulk need a few more sessions to see if we really are on the same pace,

By the end, Jim and I were only separated by a hundredth at Silverstone,

Stevo proved that the Merc is drivable, contrary to Remco's complaints,

It's awesome having Gillies on the pace,

 

That's all I can think of, thought it was all quite fun! :)
