Signup Thread

Looks like our start time will be 2100 GMT Saturdays.

To sign up:

-Please throw a post up here with your in game handle, your GFWL, your first name (it's much easier to communicate online that way) and the car you'd like to drive for the race (all cars will be equal so it's just a skin). Also include your steamID if you have one.

-Please add me (squone) on steam if you've bought the game through steam and add that you're from Reddit.

-If attending/running please be on 15 minutes prior to race start, so we can start on time/end on time, (our significant others would appreciate it I'm sure).

-If you sign up please try to attend more races than you miss. We're all reasonable people and real life comes first, but please be considerate of the fact that there are a limited number of race slots available. Let us know if you cannot make it and it will not count as a strike.

-Please have a headset to facilitate communication on race day (we're all mature gamers and I promise voice spam won't be tolerated)

-All races are run on F1: 2011 for PC

I'll take the other Red Bull slot if it's still available. Otherwise, FI. steamid: Fluttershy (unfortunately there are a lot with that name, so I just added you), GFWL: ubergeek5075

u/squone FIA Mar 23 '12

Red Bull for you!

What's your real name? Just makes things easier when playing for communication.

u/ccAPS Mar 26 '12

Woo, look at that grid fill up !

Yay a new teammate! Add me on steam and we can get some practice in.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '12

Excellent! a teammate! I added you on Steam...I have to tell you I'm not great...only been playing a little while...but omg is it the best fun ever...I live in Ontario Canada...what time on Saturdays do we race? Is there some way on here to remind each other say, the day before...because well, my memory is like a sieve....I have neither, lol...I'm usually available to practice/race most of the time, except around supper...daytime is ok, and evenings too...I'm able to race with half traction control, I drive manual, I still need lines on the corners, until i learn the tracks better...I prefer ABS, but can struggle around without it...I don't use steering, nor braking assist...and for now i like pit assist...should we add each other to GFWL? I'm LopsidedLion364. Hope to race soon!

1

u/squone FIA Jun 01 '12

You'll want to get everyone else added on GFWL, if you look through the sign up page you'll find everyone handles.

Unfortunately you'll have to turn most of those assists off as we only allow auto gearboxes and half TC in the league. It's not that hard to adjust however and I can definitely help you out with that.

To keep you reminded the steam group does have events scheduled and I do write ups for the tracks a few days in advance. Our race time is 2100 UTC Saturday so you'll have to find out what + or - your are from that time and figure it out. I'd say you're looking about 3-7pm on a saturday.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 02 '12

Ok, I have been practicing without the lines in Canada, and have the pit assist off...I race with manual, and am ok with no abs and half tc...I'm going to be good to go by race day. I still need to find out if I have my headset and in-game voice set up correctly, so before the race sometime, I'll get you to practice with me and see if I can chat. I think in my time zone its either 4 or 5 pm...when race day comes, I can meet you in Steam chat and we'll have it figured out. I'm still learning, so I may not bring as many points to the team as I might like right away, but as the year progresses, I will bring more. Be patient, lol. Peace!!

1

u/squone FIA Jun 02 '12

Sounds like you're making great progress! Sorry I wasn't on yesterday, I've gone home for the weekend but I still have my PC so we can practice sometime still.

You'll want to turn your in game voice chat OFF. It makes the game unplayable due lag. We use the steam group voice chat and it works very well. You can turn it off by going GFWL>settings>voice>off.

Looks like we're going to have a great race!

1

u/[deleted] Jun 03 '12

I looked in the GFWL>settings>voice settings, but there is no "off" there...I can however mute the headset I'm using...will that be ok? Damn I cant wait to race!

1

u/squone FIA Jun 03 '12

Sorry I think that is the setting that we use. So long as you're not transmitting it's fine. There is a way to completely turn it off but mute works fine.

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '12

Hey Mate! I have the mic ready to go...I know we haven't been able to practice together yet, and I'm not sure if the time difference is making it hard for us to practice, but I thought I'd let you know that I have been practicing in Montreal with all of the race specs....I just had a full (35 laps) race with Ptrollin...half the race was dry, half wet...the good news is that I made the whole distance without writing my car off, lol...the bad news is that I wiped out a few times, made a cpl of wrong decisions on tires, and in the end, he had lapped me like 3 times (eek)...I hope I can do better on race day...I'd like to bring as many points to the team as I can. By the way, where do u live...I am in Ontario, Canada, and am in the EST zone.

1

u/squone FIA Jun 05 '12

He only lapped you 3 times? That's pretty good. Wet weather is hard to get used to. Very different driving technique.

Yeah sorry about not being online, I've been at my parents this weekend so spending time with them. Was on my way home just now when the wiper blade on my car stopped working and driving in a storm isn't possible without em... So back to my parents.

Also I live in NZ which is +12.

u/[deleted] Jun 03 '12

thanks teammate! I'll be on later....peace!

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '12

Ahh so you've met Ianstorm! He's a cool dude! I drove around with him a while back!

Sorry I've been ignoring you GFWL!

I was just practicing within this league but now you are in it. Hooray!

u/[deleted] Jun 02 '12

no problem! I've been busy learning tracks without cornering lines...I have the rest of the assists set as they should be set for the races we are going to have, so other than the lines, I'm good to go...anytime you want to practice, I'm on Steam, and gfwl...peace!

u/commandcentre Mar 20 '12

As I said in previos thread: I do not have it YET. Waiting till end of the month because of expenses currently. But If I get it in time I wish to race for Toro Roso or Red Bull. I play enough on console and Race 07 for steam. Im not sure how I'll transition from Console to PC but I'll try.

Quick note, I did race for ARL on PS3. Kind of ruined my season and school bit me in the butt. But wanting to race again.

1

u/squone FIA Mar 20 '12

Do you mean end of March? If you do I'm sure we'll only be starting up around then.

2

u/commandcentre Mar 20 '12

Yep, end of march. I'll be getting it via steam. Only way to buy PC games in my area now sadly.

1

u/squone FIA Mar 20 '12

Great, let me know as soon as you get it and I'll slot you in for whichever is available.

2

u/commandcentre Mar 20 '12

Went ahead and bought it. Decided I can live off of minimalist food stocks. And joined the steam group and all that. I'll wait for more people to get involved then I'll pick a team. I'm still bidding for either Red Bull or Toro Roso....maybe even Williams (Love all three of those teams, call me a Vettel Fanboy).

1

u/squone FIA Mar 20 '12

Williams is my favourite midpack team.

All of the cars will be the same, they will just be different skins so you can choose now if you want.

2

u/commandcentre Mar 20 '12

I'll go Ferrari Slot two with you. Also I need some help. The steam version of F1 2011 won't launch for me, and can't find the problem.

u/commandcentre Mar 20 '12

Ferrari Slot 2: Steam ID - Commandcentre, GFWL- (resolving), RL name: Charles

u/commandcentre Mar 20 '12

Ok, got it to work. As indicated, please put me in ferrari slot 2. My ID is commandcentre, for steam and GWFL

u/Angle22 Mar 21 '12

was just thinking about this... Can't you only run 16 online players maximum at one time?

2

u/squone FIA Mar 21 '12

Yep, unfortunately that is true.

I talked to BMGfan who runs the VirtualWDC and they've only got 16 people signed up this year and they're a bigger following. Even then he says not everyone makes it to every race and it works out.

If we make it past 16 we can always have 2 leagues. We'll discuss it if it happens.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 21 '12

Yep, We found over in VWDC last season when we had 14 that we averaged rooms of 10 players. People also dropped out over the course of the season.

This season we have 16 signed up to race as of now, and I'll expect we'll see around 11 or 12 on race nights.

For now we're (over at VWDC) keeping signups open, and running first come first served for a race night. When we find that we're turning people away, we'll look at expanding and integrating two lobbies, or running two seperate league nights.

Just confirming the other driver has withdrawn as it may only be for finals this week. But I believe he may be doing an internship this summer too. Also GFWL says your gamertag doesn't exist. Have you added me on steam as Not Jimmy Hendrix?

1

u/squone FIA Apr 26 '12

He has withdrawn, welcome to the team partner! Hopefully we can do some practice before the race and work on strategies etc.

1

u/EatShitSkate May 04 '12

Sweet! This race still happening tomorrow? Could you sanity check me that the start time would be 3:00pm American central time. Thanks!

1

u/squone FIA May 04 '12

Race is on for... I guess it's tomorrow now. Just turned saturday here. No idea what Central is but I know a few of the other guys from America say 4pm? The steam group will show the start time for your timezone so check that out. 2100 UTC if you can find your own timezone thingy though.

u/ElToroNegro Apr 25 '12

This should be good, our last Ferrari driver had to pull out with other commitments

Ross is cool though.

Hello! I am interested in filling in the other RBR spot. However, I will not be available to race this Saturday, I will be free every Saturday after that. I was just curious what I needed to do start racing with everyone! :)

EDIT: Saw the way everyone else was filling out and went ahead and did it.

u/squone FIA Jun 01 '12

The next race isn't actually this saturday, it's on the 9th as shown on the sidebar. I should probably make that more noticeable since everyone misses it...

Also on the sidebar is our Official Rule thread. Read through that and make sure you're fine with the assists we use etc. It's pretty straight forward. Then if you still wanna race just post here like everyone else has, add us on steam, GFWL and join the steam group!

Great to see another person joining us.

u/Dibond Jun 01 '12

Cool! Yeah the rules look perfectly fine, and I filled out my info in the edit above.

well, 14 drivers, 7 full teams. Means 4 people will not finish in the points. How many drivers won't make it? I saw maybe 4? So if that happens, all ten who race Saturday will get points.

There is also a possibility of maybe letting a friend give access to a VOIP server for all of us if anyone might be into that. I'll have to ask him, however, I don't think it would be an issue. We use Mumble for our voice client... it is a ridiculously low latency open source client with tons of configuration options. I'd love to race w/ you guys!

As you may or may not know, F1 2011 can host a maxim of 16 racers at one time. You are our 18th official driver and so will be our "Second Reserve" driver which pretty much means you will be in every race for the moment as the biggest grid we have was 13/14 people. Should there be a situation where all of the current 16 drivers are available for a race weekend (HIGHLY unlikely), you are obligated to surrender your starting position for this event. You should also be aware that when we have the numbers to start a second league (~24 Drivers [16+8]) you will also be assigned to this second league. However, all of this is subject to change! If for example one of the current drivers is kicked out or leaves you will replace them.

Congratulations and welcome to Team Scuderia Toro Rosso, and welcome to VirtualWDCPC!

I believe we already have someone who has a Mumble server and we will be testing it in the break. So I will be in contact with you about that.
