I was big in to XBOX Live at one point but then my Mum's credit card which the account was attached to was frauded and I wasn't bothered to set up a new account.

So if I ever get around to getting a new one, I'm in.

This should be easy then! I had Stabilty Control, Traction Control and Anti-Lock Brakes turned off all the time in FM2 (basically all settings to maximum) and still found it too easy! (And manual gears btw).

I fall between the two of you then. I use the wheel and manual gears for single player but online to be more competitive I play with the controller and auto shift. I race with the rest of the driving aids off.

Would anyone be interested in an online game of F1 Championship Edition for PS3 this weekend. If you are interested, please PM me your PSN username.

Haha, I like this topic. I should try to find my F1 Rejects sponsored Super Aguri that I made for Grand Prix 3. I must have that hiding somewhere..

MinardiFan95 · Post by **MinardiFan95** » 27 Jan 2010, 10:18

When I was on holidays I started playing F106 for PS2 again and I thought that people here might be interested in an offline racing championship (using F106 or any other F1 game). This series will be known as the "F1 Rejects World Championship".
If you are not familiar with offline racing competitions, then here is the basic idea behind them:
1. Each race usually runs over one week, meaning you have one week to submit the race time from when the race thread is started.
2. Races are either time trials or held over a set number of laps or a set race distance.
3. You must submit the time to the race organizer (via email or PM). DON'T post your race time or lap time in the race thread (although you can post split times from sectors 1 & 2).

Rules
There will be a limit of 10 or 11 teams depending on which game is used for the championship. The series is also limited to 20 or 22 drivers but a test driver may be permitted for some teams.

Cars will be rotated between each team so teams use all 11 cars over the course of the season (the order of rotation for F106 would be: Super Aguri, Midland, Toro Rosso, BMW Sauber, Red Bull, Honda, Williams, Toyota, McLaren, Ferrari, Renault). If one team starts off with Renault, the next week that team will be using Super Aguri's

There will be 11 races in each season, with 6 test sessions.

Team names must be reject related or they will be ..erm... rejected by the governing body F1ROLRA (F1 Rejects Offline Racing Association). Some examples are:
Not allowed: McLaren, Ferrari, Schumacher GP, any manufacturer teams, Brawn GP, Button F1 Team, Lotus, etc.
Allowed: Super Aguri, Life, Pacific, Andrea Moda, Badoer GP, F1 Rejects Racing, HWNSNBM Racing, BGNPT (Bertrand Gachot's New Plaything), Fondmetal Team Malaysia, Stefan F1, any other team profiled on the F1 Rejects website, etc.)

Each team's entry is to be set out like this example:
Team Name: F1 Rejects Racing
Driver: HWNSNBM
Game 1: F106
Game 2: GP4

If you are interested please post in this thread announcing your interest in the series and which game(s) you would prefer to play.

I won it on the playstation when i was 16, I think that says something.

Does SNES count? I took out the championship on Nigel Mansell World Championship Racing (F1 officially licensed) pre-'97 so I'd have not been 12 by that point.

There will now be two series of the "F1 Rejects World Championship"; one for PS2 users and one for PC users
The game choices for each series have been narrowed to two games each
PS2: F106 & F1 Career Challenge
PC: GP4 & F1 Challenge '99 - '02

Also, would anyone be able to suggest mods and tracks for the PC games.

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 31 Jan 2010, 10:02

For the PC game I suggest that we use the 2006 mod because as far as I know (well for GP4 anyway) It's one of the best mods out there. Not sure about F1 Challenge though. Any F1C users out there that can suggest a mod for that game worth using?

Collieafc · Post by **Collieafc** » 31 Jan 2010, 10:13

I am tempted. If I do, its F1 06 here

Now that I've obtained a fully functioning PS2 after my first one died (2001-2009 RISP)

ADx_Wales: F1 06

Before it died I was playing Gran Turismo 4, being able to win the "Formula Gran Turismo 2004" which is a generic F1 carshape of the times, and its got exactly the same colourscheme as Tom Pryce's Token just to the right

My PS2 is on its last legs (no longer plays Gran Turismo 4 or DVDs) but hopefully it lasts long enough to do this tournament...

do we really need mods? They dont work with my gp4

Enforcer · Post by **Enforcer** » 31 Jan 2010, 13:50

I'm up for GP4, but my preference is to work without mods. I find them fiddly, and I like the 2001 grid.

Also, how are we going to work this? Didn't they end up scrapping the online capability GP4 because of licencing issues or something. :?:

EDIT: Nevermind, I just read the thread properly.

ADx_Wales · Post by **ADx_Wales** » 31 Jan 2010, 14:00

If i get a PS3 its only going to be for one game, GT5, but once my xbox 360 is fixed I wont need to.

dragonsteincole · Post by **dragonsteincole** » 31 Jan 2010, 15:18

I will make an offer here that might seem crazy... crazy awesome!

I'm a massive fan of F1 Challenge 99-02, and have about 2 years of making edits, tweaks and league mods for it. What i'm proposing is that I could make a mod that includes nothing but reject cars, either repainted liveries, or the actual cars themselves if they already exist in another mod. They would share the same engine and physics files to ensure fair competition, but just think of a Life competing with Andrea Moda and Mastercard Lola for a win

ADx_Wales · Post by **ADx_Wales** » 31 Jan 2010, 18:25

Bit of a change of subject, but here are some "Photos" taken from the GT4 replay theatre, using the Formula Gran Turosmo '04 in GT4.

The modernising of Tom Pryce's Token

Token Vs. FeDaLi (Ferrari/Dallara/Life) Vs. MercGP 09 Vs. A1 Team Netherlands

Laguna Corkscrew
Homaging the cover of a NES game, cannot remember, for the life of me, what it was called though.

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » 31 Jan 2010, 20:06

I always thought GT4 F1 cars looked more like FNippon cars...
GT3 F1 cars though were almost identical to real F1 cars. There was one that looked a lot like the Lotus 99T, and another one that was similar to the Williams FW16. Two cars that Ayrton Senna drove. The man who was a hero in Japan...
This one, though, looks like the Williams FW11

ADx_Wales · Post by **ADx_Wales** » 31 Jan 2010, 20:41

I think the F686 was the Mock FW11, Honda powerd, The nose area is the same blue that would (should) have a number on it, Its a shame they made 6 different F1 cars for the Japanese GT3 , but the Brit GT3 version only has two, which are hybridised versions of the 6 JPN models.

Anyways, I'm definately a Formula GT Reject anyways, more spins than politicians.

now that i'd be very interested in. I don't have a steering wheel or pedals and i run the game on vista which means there are a few teething troubles (one of them being no pitstops!) but if you made such a mod available i would download it certainly.

22 car grid full of reject teams...that has to be heaven right?! :lol:

IndyCar Racing, 2, or CART Fury?

The GT3 car names were based on a simple formula:
Car type, cylinders, year / driver
(ex. F686/M = Formula (1), V6, 1986/Mansell)
(ex. F094/H = Formula (1), V10, 1994/Hill) The F094/S is similar to the F094/H but lacks the barge boards.

MinardiFan95 · Post by **MinardiFan95** » 01 Feb 2010, 06:11

There will now be a series for each of the four games. However, one driver can only enter in two of the series.
