On Team Honda, Grant Sharp is Gurantsu.

On Toyota, Glenn Duraski is a friend of mine, who I'm STILL bugging to register here at DSP. He swears he will soon...

Aaron Menchions on Midland = me!

Christopher Weck = Zeppo = loyal Red Bull corporate whore (will never touch their product, though).

This game is freaking cool. I absolutely hate it right now, but it's lots of fun. Working together on setups is crucial. Dave was unable to practice or anything, and my setup suffered mightily because of it, not to mention the weather changes throughout the weekend.

More weather now in Germany. Oy.

It was great to have the SA05 in the lead for a while at Imola. I need to play with the sliders because a poor decision to go to Intermediates instead of Wets took me out of a points paying position and possibly a podium

I thought what we had was special

So, are we pausing the game for the weekend or should I run my practice laps?

Oh, and is there an option to assainate pit crews? Mine have a habit of screwing up my stops.

fsquid · Post by **fsquid** » Mon Apr 10, 2006 1:20 pm

start this baby back up!

Gurantsu · Post by **Gurantsu** » Tue Apr 11, 2006 1:21 pm

Yeah, I'm surprised it's not back up yet. Hope all is OK with DC and his family.

Sorry guys, my company's annual meeting has been going on since the weekend and I just completely forgot to start the game back up. My bad. It's back up and running now.

Dave · Post by **Dave** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 8:53 am

Damn, didn't run any practice laps. Could be a rough weekend for Red Bull...

Same ship here, Dave. I had no idea we restarted.

Oh, well -- it's not like I'm fast or a championship contender anyways!

Take care,
PK

Looks like when you pause the game you can still finish the session you are on. When it's unpaused, the game advances.

DChaps · Post by **DChaps** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 4:49 pm

Yep, I am sorry once again guys. I guess that's the breaks of learning this game as I go along. I assumed it would start back up where we left off which was with 24 hrs. remaining until qualifying, but like CrazyPsycho says, it appears that it lets you finish the current session you are in. So next time I guess we need to be ready to go before I restart the game. Let's just agree on a specific time to stop it on Friday, and to restart on Monday and I will do my damndest to see that it all happens on time.

No practice laps and a crash in quali, possibly caused by my being on some slightly inappropriate tyres

Don, don't worry, it's only a game and it seems like one driver from every team except one or two has some sort of hot setup anyway.

Speaking of which, Gangrel found the sort of setup that could make you love a man if you were feeling a little lonely so at least my first corner shunt will leave an extremely fine-tuned wreck.

Ahhh, Simo, yer enough to make a girl blush!

Now, to see what screws up my race for me........

Woo Hoo, team Honda to the top of the charts! Congrats to my teammate, and a big domo arigato for the help working on the setup.

mixdj1 · Post by **mixdj1** » Thu Apr 13, 2006 9:15 am

Go team Honda! I think the consistent and concentration personality traits I chose are what really make the difference as long as I can stay out of trouble. If I could only drive that well in TOCA.

Gurantsu, check team chat at the site. I've got a decent start on settings from practice. Unfortunately my times don't show it do to driver error.

Toyota on the podium baby! Almost got 2nd place.. 3rd will have to do!

Yeah, had to do a few "brake checks" and blocking maneuvers to keep you back there. Of course, turns out just pointing to the pit babes as we came down the straight was enough to divert your attention...

Good lord, check the car comparisons. The Honda is so far ahead at this point. No wonder they win. Haha.
