BATracer: Planetcricket Championship

[treva]

Brawn 1-2 in practice, Ben absolutely storming it! Now to make it so in Qualifying.

 

[Ollie_H]

Practice means bugger all though !

 

[Abhas]

Yeah, He's probably gonna crash out in Quali's

Fast in practice means you're doing something wrong

 

[treva]

100% spot-on setup says otherwise

 

[Ollie_H]

How do you manage to do that? I barely any get ever spot ons!

 

[Manly]

Use a baseball analogy: Jack is the starter, goes 8 strong innings, only allowing 1 or 2 hits. I come in as a closer, strike out all 3 hitters and bam, he gets the win, I get the save and we are 100% set-up.

 

[Ollie_H]

Hahaha fair enough..Thats kind of what I'm trying to do but my team mate hasn't been on recently!

 

[Manly]

You understood what I was on about?!

 

[Ollie_H]

Pretty much yeah!

 

[Manly]

Good effort

 

[Abhas]

haha Ben, did you practice on Soft tyres or Hard?

 

[Covvy]

Well at least I didn't come overall last in that race.

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

Yeah Abhas, I've been working closely with Rocket and we've got some excellent results, shame after the practice though. Nevermind, we'll be the underdogs and perform in the quali's.

I would say 3-4 races and you'll all start to get owned. I just read a lot yesterday about what effect those settings have in real life.

 

[Abhas]

I noticed one thing, None of the teams have consistent set-ups. Both the drivers have different levels of setup, and this is not at all a good thing.
This is true in all the teams, and either it means you don't trust your team-mate, or that you're doing something wrong. (Not trusting your teammate is also wrong)

I said that thing to Kshitiz specifically because I saw Rocket's setup was very good, while Kshitiz was around 70%.
Both should have been 90% and that would have ensured a much better result.
Same is true for all the other teams..

Abhas added 2 Minutes and 50 Seconds later...


Lol I had a superb 1-lap race in my public game..
Qualified 10th, moved up to 3rd on the 1st lap itself, then someone hit me from behind, and I crashed out on lap 2

What a waste.. I had the best setup in the race
