Yahoo F1 manager

Cougar · 6 Oct 2003, 09:11 (Ref:741652)

Hi guys... I found yet another game on the net...

http://uk.racingmanager.yahoo.net/

I think it is pretty cool... If you have spare time and you are on the net almost every day then have a look!

Eache season tuns for about 2months and each day has eather practice, qualifying or racing. Not sure how it works exactly yet but you can join anytime.. This season is only in the 3rd race.

Its a turn based game if that means anything to you guys! You basically have a set amount of turns and money to setup and fine tune your car!

Its mainly single player but you can join groups and add your points to perform better. I have created a team called Ten Tenths. So join if you want to!

Is there anyone who is already playing? Let me know!?

Thanx
Cougar

Cougar · 6 Oct 2003, 09:21 (Ref:741662)

Yeah sorry... as its an F1 game I thought it better to Post here... if it needs to be moved then so be it...

Thanx

i'm playing it

i had a second place in Australia ..

Mark Webber · 6 Oct 2003, 21:34 (Ref:742368)

IT won't let me register?

Cougar · 7 Oct 2003, 11:18 (Ref:742838)

How do you mean!? Yahoo or in the game itself?

Dani? House does the race work? they say its from 5Pm to 5PM the same day?

Smokey 6 litre · 7 Oct 2003, 12:04 (Ref:742887)

im playing now, team Douglas Adams Racing (DAR)
How do i join the ten-tenths group? and would i loose my independance?
my driver, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Brave, Brave, Brave, insane! just how i like it.
I spent ALL my money and i cant race now! what the hell do i do?

Cougar · 7 Oct 2003, 16:08 (Ref:743158)

i have no idea how racing works... u get money at midnight every night... the server is busy now computing.. i guess the reace results... all i did was add a pitstop? but have no idea if thats going to work...

if your driver has all those characteristics then you going to damage your car all the time i think.

Im not 100% sure about teams but i think you will still race as yourself and the team will score points in the teams game? but the top teams all have 50 ppl in them

Dani Filth · 7 Oct 2003, 16:14 (Ref:743161)

i have no ideea how it calculates the race results .. and probably can't call the car to pit

..
and just as i was trying to fine tune my chassis the race started

don't think so .. i had brave all around in Australia and finished second .. the last one i think is fatigue or something like that so if he is well .. he could do it .

Dani Filth · 7 Oct 2003, 16:19 (Ref:743163)

lol .. i finished 14th

must work on setup

both it just keeps asking me to resubmit everything time after time

Cougar · 8 Oct 2003, 07:45 (Ref:743712)

Mark do you havea yahoo ID? Then you should be able to join the game? maybe create the ID from the main page on yahoo!? I dont know?!

Ok for the race i added a pitstop at lap 15.. Thats all I could do (but thats done in training after qualifying) Seeing as though I was the only guy who qualified and set my car up in my group i won the race woohoo. But now im in a new group and they are all doing 1.17's while im stuck at 1.24's! And there is only one day of training for this race! Suspension and aero changes did not seem to affect my lap times at all! guess ill have to do a banker qualifying lap and then a lap with everything set to insane hehe!

Mark Webber · 8 Oct 2003, 09:01 (Ref:743795)

Southern Cross Racing is up and running

Cougar · 8 Oct 2003, 09:21 (Ref:743815)

Good good... I think im going to suffer in the next race!

See if you can join the team!? Ten Tenths #13,956

Setup your care wisely as you run out of turns once you have used up your initial ones.. only get 1 or 2 an hour..

Mark Webber · 8 Oct 2003, 10:05 (Ref:743847)

is it
13956 or
#13,956

?

Cougar · 8 Oct 2003, 10:10 (Ref:743853)

You seem to have gotten in...

what was it in the end? # or just the number?

As far as I can see you do not need any money to race. Although qualifying is 50 000. After the race you need to do repairs and some car setup again for the next race. Budgets get tight hehe.

Mark Webber · 8 Oct 2003, 10:23 (Ref:743864)

wow 50g for qual I think testing is heaps at 5g per lap .
what race are you doing?

it was the number with , in it

if we are doing different race's we can share setup info to save $$$$$$ or same race's it's cool with me

Cougar · 8 Oct 2003, 11:32 (Ref:743943)

I am ranked 6368 and in Race group 289. So i guess Ranking 1-20 race in Race group 1...

Everyone is racing in San Marino?

I did brazil with balanced suspension and downforce. For san marino i have run out of cash but low down force (5) and hard suspension (15) didnt do much for my lap times.

Dani Filth · 8 Oct 2003, 15:35 (Ref:744194)

i am ..

Mark Webber · 8 Oct 2003, 21:23 (Ref:744537)

what lap times are you doing Cougar? I'm around the 1.24 at best and 1.29.8 and worse .

Don't you sleep ? u r always online

what is your team name?

Cougar · 9 Oct 2003, 07:05 (Ref:744831)

Yeah my laptimes are 1.24,69 And thats with taking risks and everything! I seemed to get a bit better times in training

Im 10th ot of 10 haha and the fastest lap time is 1.16!!! Im thinking they group you compared to your points and not your car speed!

If your lap times drop so drastically it usually means your driver needs rest! But they say you can still train him up but your lap times are just a little crappy.

Umm im not always online... Im online all day at work and then a bit at home as well. So maybe it just seems that way hehe.

my team name is jgallop (which is my yahoo id, i dnt know how/if i can change it...) #145,106

Remember to put i pitstop or two in for the race!

Cougar · 9 Oct 2003, 08:36 (Ref:744903)

Got my name changed to Cougar Racing! woohoo

Smokey 6 litre · 9 Oct 2003, 09:44 (Ref:744955)

i changed my driver atributes to nicley balanced, he wont be too fasy but the car should stay in one piece.

Cougar · 9 Oct 2003, 10:08 (Ref:744973)

Yeah i have most on brave except for material stress t save my car... Last race i spent a couple of thou afterwards fixing my car! For qualifying i set my driver to insane.. .I managed to get almost a second off my laptime.

But I think I am out of my league at the moment as I am racing with guys who have had atleast a couple of races to set up there cars.

Also I have read that you are ranked after the race first by the amount of points you have.. and then by the amount of cash you have. So might be a good idea not to have too much money at the end of each race. Else you get ranked high up with the better guys and wont score as much points in the next race. (just a bit of strategy)

Are you in a Gorup already Danni and Smokey!? If not join the Ten Tenths one? (13,956)

Any hints on car setup!? I am hopeless HAHA

(edited as my TEXT speak is getting worse and worse)

Mark Webber · 9 Oct 2003, 11:01 (Ref:745035)

well third in Quail with a 1.24.3 not bad with a balanced driver setup.

how do the pitstop setups work? what does it mean by round?
