Online racing manager game
Ok.
I've been playing an online Formula 1 manager game for about a month or so.
It's pretty good - only takes 5 minutes a day to play and so doesn't take much time.
It's free as well.
Link Here
Basically, Qualifying is one day, the race is the next, followed the next day by qualifying for the next race etc.
All you have to do in between is set up your car and sort out your race/qualifying options and then leave it to run.
I've started my own private game for you to join.
Quote:
Players will need to be registered and logged in before they can enter the private game. When logged in, clicking the following URL will take you to the join game page:
http://batracer.com/-cj?&D&2831
Alternativly, you can select "private games" from the menu and enter the number "2831" into the box. The game password is "Brilliance". Take care not to accidentally join a public game by mistake.
|
The first people to join up get first choice of the cars (I bagged myself a renault )
So go for it
I'm not going to set it going until I've got about 20 players, so pass on this to other people you think would be interested.
Oh and only join if you reckon you'll have the commitment to do something every day for the next month or so.
If you think you'll lose interest then don't take a place please... (although if it doesn't fill up then I might come back and beg)
I can suspend the game for a day or two if people request it and others don't mind.

Re: Online racing manager game
I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to a setup of the car.
Can someone give me a brief summary of what changing each bit does? I have some ideas but I'm sure I'm wrong as I just fiddled with each of them then pressed TEST and it did the opposite to what I thought would happen
PS HONDA YO

Re: Online racing manager game
did you read what I said in the Driver Chat thing?
And there's engineers advice to guide you anyway.
EDIT
Quote:
Ok - Quick Step by Step Guide then:
(although there is a beginners guide you could read )
Go to Office -> your desk as a default as messages appear there.
Go to Garage -> Car Setup and click on Engineers advice at the top.
Then set up you car accordingly and practice.
Set up your driving style, qualifying strategy and race strategy in the garage as well.
Then when I start the game up it will do the qualifying run.
Thats it for now!

Re: Online racing manager game
don't worry - you get to change them a bit in between the qualifying and the race.
It gets complicated when the weather starts changing but the Engineer gives you advice on that too

Re: Online racing manager game
You damaged your car on your last run, and was not able to complete a lap. In addition, time taken to repair the damage has limited further testing.
damn was just getting my time down

I didn't even get chance to improve from my first lap time, must have been a pretty bad crash.

Quite a neat game - shame there aren't any public spots left on any decent BMCC teams
Jammy, check the team board - need your details.

You didn't follow them
Office -> Your desk -> Team chat
your practice wasn't that bad though - 2 places lower than me (5th out of 17)

the cars aren't bad - you'll do better next race (it's 18 races so we'll all have plenty of good/bad ones)
We've not even done the first qualifying round yet it's a bit early for 'predictions'.
