New oOple batracer season - carset vote and team forming

Post here your season entries - name.
I guess we should choose to run
F2 or F3 with 4 people per team and same combination of parts in all teams.
Choice will depend on size of teams that people will want to run

16 entries so far:

Pavel Balint
Steve Baxter
David Bone
Ben Cosgrove
Lisa Cosgrove
Paul Crawford
James Ebden
Wayne Elliot
Darren Eyers

Colin May
Ian Robson

Charles Wilson
Ilias Xristakos

the V8's are really hard, and a really long season. Probably wouldn't recommend this for people who don't "love" this game!

think the teams with only 2 cars is also bad as if one drops out you are screwed!

Thank you for clarification about V8s. However I still would like to run it :p Maybe next time.
Well, we can make agreement with F3 that everyone will have same combination of parts on car so it will essentially make F2 series but with more people per team.

Here are some informations about these carsets.

Formula 2 - kind of A1GP but with 2 players per team so you won't have to struggle. Everyone has exactly the same car so there isn't any difference circuit to circuit and everyone has same chances to win.

Formula 3 - 3 or 4 players per team (depends on our agreement) last season was this one. Cars aren't completely equal as you combine chassis, motor, tyres and they work in certain conditions better than others.

BatSeven - 3 players per team, we ran it last year. Similar problems as with F3 certain cars have less setup parameters so they are easier to set up, but in weather change or not perfect setup they struggle more.

V8S - 2 players teams (there are three 1 person teams, but it's series for 31 people so there is no problem to left them unfilled), also series is quite long. I really can't comment on equality of teams as I never ran this series before (or as long as I remember :D) I've crawled a bit around forum and people finds it as very competetive series.

Entries so far:

Pavel Balint
James Ebden

i'm in :thumbsup:

Hi Darren. I've added you to list.

jim76

i like the V8's, i just think it will put off any new racers. maybe once we have a hard core regular group!

Well, we were sharing setup and I was quite surprised that you're going your own way all the time despite I've sent some useful help links and setups on team talk page. :D I thought that you're just stubborn :D Next season will be better ;)

v8's are very frustrating, not many setup parameters and you don't gain feedback quickly, season is long as well.
i think for involving new people f2 sounds better

I would like to, but I can't assign all names to nicknames :blush: (some I do, but not all). So I would like to kindly ask everyone who wants to race to write your name :blush:

Steve thanks - I've added you to list.

Sure Darren. It's really a shame as we ran whole season basically in 3 people and I was trying hard to get your attention at the beginning in team chat, but eventually I gave up. I do belive that you would enjoy game much more if you would be able to work with rest of the team.

i would say F3 with a standard car set, and 3 people per team.

2 people in a team isn't enough as the oople seasons have a fairly high drop out rate for newbies, and playing on your own is a huge disadvantage. At least with 2 palyers left in a team ou can still compete. Otherwise, once one player drops out, the remaining player will drop out too, and you'll end up with almost no teams left.

edit:i created an account.when does the season start?

lochness42

06-08-2010 11:26 AM

Hard to say - it would be nice to have more people, but if there won't be, then we might will start season for first time without filled all spots.
Please send your name, so I'll be able to add you to list.

just a question:who drives the cars?we or the computer?

lochness42

08-08-2010 06:40 PM

It's online management game.
In each round you have to try to find perfect setup.
You also choose pitstops, and how agressive, fast and hard on parts your driver is.
In each session there is partly luck factor.

David Bone

09-08-2010 10:08 AM

I'm in Pavel.

Ben Cosgrove

09-08-2010 10:10 AM

me too

put Lisa down aswell, she has loads of time now on maternity leave :)

even Mr Bowden will play I'm sure

Ben Cosgrove

09-08-2010 10:11 AM

How about a German Touring Car championship, every man for himself for this one??

Then do the F3 after.

Something different to break it up?

lochness42

09-08-2010 05:11 PM

Ben I would rather run V8 Supercars.
Problem with DTM is that you've got uneven cars - there are 2005-2007 versions of cars if I remember well.

lochness42

11-08-2010 12:49 PM

Provisional teams for F3 with equal cars
as it seems like we will have to start
not fully filled game.
Any suggestions for players swapping?

Team 1
Pavel Balint
Darren Eyers
Colin May
Charles Wilson

Team 2
Steve Baxter
Paul Crawford
James Ebden
Ilias Xristakos

Team 3
Wayne Elliot
Shane Foot
Liam Jackman
Carl Rowlinson

Team 4
David Bone
Ben Cosgrove
Lisa Cosgrove
Ian Robson

Oh one more question - are we going to start it before euros with break during it, or are we going to wait for week after euros?

thrilos

11-08-2010 01:19 PM

please don't start it now.if you do,unfortunately,i won't run.

lochness42

11-08-2010 01:40 PM

ok we can wait for week after Euros (that's 2 weeks)

jim76

11-08-2010 09:39 PM

yeah, after the euros will be good, maybe have a chance to fill another team
