Both Steve and Myself have only been playing it for just over a week. So you'll catch on pretty quickly ;) There's also a forum where you can search for hints.

Just a hint. As ppl join, try to team up with someone who is needing a team mate. That way you can share setups with each other via "Team Talk" so that you have a better chance of getting a 100% spot on setup. Basically this will make you more competitive.

Alternatively, try and drag a mate into teaming up with you in a fresh team. For those people who have no team mates, it'd be beneficial for you to try to get someone to join your team ;)

Look forward to some close racing.

Cheers, Mick

Me and steve aren't in the same office. We still use Team talk just as much as anyone. The only time I go downstairs to talk to him is when I want to taunt him because I beat him LOL

The "When during the session" is when you come out to do your qualifying lap. The qualifying session is split up into 10 or so sections and this determines when you are on the track. If you are lucky you might be the only car on the track at that time so you can get a clean lap ;)

OK, we have enough players to start, so Ill start it tonight, and try to make the races and qualifying happen in the middle of the day. So first Qualifying should be around lunch time tomorrow. Anyone who hasnt done their practices will need to do them by then.

Any one else who wants to join the game will need to do it before tonight.

UPDATED START TIME!! QUALIFYING WILL RUN IN APPROX 45MIN!! 2:30aest

So qualifying and races will commence at 2:30aest everyday. Make sure that you have your qualifying and race setups done before this time.

Note that you are not required to actually be online at this time. Just make sure that you are setup ;)

Cheers, Mick - with the guidance of Steve :)

Same as your practice sessions.

Go to Car Setup.

You can adjust your settings again, just like you did in Practice. You get another 8 runs to fine tune. Good Luck :)
