After looking into the costs, the skip barber series seems more affordable and they provide the car while also making it a learning experience. There was only 6 events for the 2008 season meaning I won't have to travel too much. I don't need to transport a car everywhere and if I didn't have a suit and helmet already, they provide that. If I somehow surprise myself (though I doubt it) there is a fully paid season of Formula Mazda as a prize (read the fine print though, you have to be a teacher and motivational speaker to other drivers afterwards).

It's not like I'm doing this now either, I'm going to wait awhile.

Some helpful info if anyone has sponsors could you let me know what you do for that. For autocrossing now I just get contingincies for just posting a decal on my car, im pretty sure thats not the case for a real sponsor.

I won't be able to attend the Round 13, I've notified our 3rd driver but he hasn't gotten back to me if he will be there or not.

Hello,

I've been karting and autocrossing for awhile now but I finally feel that is time to move on to something new. I've always wanted to race in an open wheeler but I am unsure of the costs.

In the U.S I'm limited to (as far as I know)
Formula Mazda
Formula BMW
Formula Ford
Skip Barber


If anyone has any info could you please let me know? Like how much do you travel? how much are spare parts on average? if you race for a team who owns the car instead of you, how did you get on the team? How did you obtain your sponsors?

That's all the questions I can think up of at the moment, I appreciate any info that you guys can give me.

Pretty much what I thought, those small replays add up. Then there are the people who do the enduro races and that will add up more. Oh well.

On LFSW now, you can only view the details of a race for any user, but would it be possible for LFSW to also have a replay of the race you want to see the details of?

Don't know what you other guys would think of it, I just like watching other peoples' races. Maybe would also be good for some people who forget to save race replays that they want.

Quote from Hyperactive :

Heh, made a simple illustration of what does it cost to run one season in racing (does not include monthly fees) in each car and how much return you get for a track. Just to make it easier to choose what to run and when...

Am I the only one who sees a real tiny image when I click that link?

Any idea of when the race results will be official this round? You gave us provisional results just wondering if that's what they are or not.

I think it was before qualifying when deko mentioned "oneGP rule changes now take effect" or something along the lines of that. He probably should of mentioned what took effect though. If he did maybe I wasn't paying attention.

Quote from evilpimp :

Rule-violating? More info please on the violation which is under investigation?

Just watched the replay of the pits he made and it seems that he crossed more than the first pit box in front of him when he left his pit box on both occasions. It's not like the whole car drove through the boxes it was only at most 2 tires. Hopefully it won't turn out to be a penalty.

Quote from Davidos93 :

Is it Leh-vick


or something different?

Well some people say the the Leh to quick so it turns out as say Livick so it sounds like they are putting emphasis on the vick part.

Commentary was really good, surprised that someone knew I used to race for PRT. Also the first time I've heard someone say my last name right the first try.

What server are we racing on tomorrow? does deko just send out info before the race?

Quote from tenmantaylor :

You can find the schedule here.

Quote from Crazyy :

I thought PRT was pharahos racing team or something

It was, but the guy who was managing that team joined Sonicrealms racing and pretty much abandoned the series. Hence why I race for you now.

Quote from Davidos93 :

Maybe i'd better race?

lol, who was the one that was panicking they'd have to drive aston north and had to check I was definitely driving this round?

Quote from TFalke55 :

Race is 38 laps of AS7, to be held with qualifying of 25 minutes starting at 13:40 UTC on 18 October 2008.

Sorry guess I'm just going blind.

I'll be at the round 12 event in place of Davidos93. The race is on the 18th right?

deko

will I still have my driver championship points from when I was racing for PRT added to any points I might get for [TC-R]?

[TC-R] F.Levick
Full name: Frank Levick
S2 Licence: thatguy
Wished Starting Number: 13
taking part in event 12 and onwards
I'm the second driver for [TC-R]

My heart was racing the entire race. I wanted Vettel to win the race so badly and it was nice to see him actually win. Great driving by Vettel

Quote from Mustafur :

I think the Ferrari will be strong here, you can't expect a team to be bad at the same thing two years in a row, and they also stated they Based there car for better kerb control.

I think Vettel might do something special here.

Are you a fortune teller or something?

Hello all current one GP F1 teams!

I am looking to be a test driver again after the team I was driving for seems to have become inactive in the series (PRT Racing). I have 1 one GP race under my belt at the KY2 GP for the 1st race of the season. If you are interested in acquiring another driver for your team may I suggest watching a few hotlaps of my driving before making your decision.

The SO1 hotlap is without TC. For a replay of the KY2 GP race you'll need to get that from the Race 1 thread in the forum as I couldn't post it due to the 1.95MB limit.

Edit: Also as a note, if you watch the replay of the race; on lap 7 my antivirus popped up and minimized the race on 2 different occasions on the lap causing me to hit 2 walls and another racer.

Thank you for Reading!

There are certain tracks that I won't use TC for but I race with TC on most the time.

Here is a hotlap I uploaded that's ranked 4th for SO Classic

Quote from Tweaker :

lol, here is something to laugh about guys....

V1racer style program, but they only turn left http://www.yellowstripesmakingthedriver.com/ Hahaha.

It's funny that we get opportunities to race but nobody wants to drive in a circle for a living. Open wheel doesn't get much attention here.

too bad there isn't something like a maturity vote at the end of each race or whatever. That way if you act like a jerk in races other racers will just vote once to bring your maturity rating down by 1, (only 1 vote per race on each person) and Better racing servers or any server would only allow users with a certain maturity level and up to race in their servers. Think something like that in place would help?
