I wouldn't start it now, as most of the people in our game can only join one private game at a time. I'd say wait until that series is finished, and then see how much interest there'll be for running Season 5.

And if we're doing a 1986 season, I call dibs on Osella :P

Seventh place. Not bad. I think I'm finally getting the hang of this.

Not quite related to this series, but Wizzie, SuperAguri and I have managed to lock out the first 3 positions on the grid in a Classic '97 series race at Magny Cours. This doesn't sound all that impressive until you find out what cars we're in... SuperAguri is 3rd in a Minardi, while Wizzie and myself lock out the front row in... wait for it... MASTERCARD LOLAS!
This is a cool spot.

This is me impressed. Well Done, its every member on here's wet dream!

I have to ask, having never played the F1 '97 series, does Lola get updates? Do they ever get their inhouse V10 Al Melling was building?

Since we are down to the last two races of the series, do we want to do another? If we do, which one? I would have no problems setting it up again, if no one else cares.

If we do another my top 5 ideas are (in order):

1.)Champ Car
2.)F1 '97
3.)F1 '86
4.)Trans-Am again
5)LMES

The champ car set is a monumental waste of time. I've had spot on setups many times and I've fallen down the order more times than Wizzie has in the Wallio Cup.

With that being said, I'm down for a F1 97 set. (Five bucks says MasterCard Lola is the first team filled up.)

F1 1986
My friend's USB drive spoiled, spilled tea on her laptop and had a bird poo in her hand.

What did she do in her past life to deserve this?

Like I said, I don't care really, I just like 90s Indycar :P

Looks Like we're at:

6 Votes for F1 '86

5 Votes for F1 '97

1 Vote for CCWS (now outvoted and irrelevant lol)

We have 15 people in the Wallio Cup, so three have yet to vote. Those three can pretty easily decide it.


oh and Aero? No way I'm taking that bet, it'll be the first team filled for sure!

86 it is then :)

I'm open to whatever team is available, I will see what everyone else picks. If everyone picks reject teams I will do the same, unless one person (theres always one!) takes Williams with the aim of a title grab, then I'll pick something higher (or lower, depending on your definition!) to add to a title challenge

Top of practice at the moment which is good for a person with not too much experience. Aren't we all ignoring f1reject spirit by picking top teams.

That's still three too many. You should've waited to be given a go-ahead to start the game, instead of jumping right into it after only 20 minutes of no-one else posting. Only six of the 15 participants in the Wallio Cup have Kool Tools, meaning nine people have to wait for some time before being able to join the 1986 series.
