Is this where you would use the trait "Super Fit" because it is an endurance series? I picked it and will see if it helps any.

Brillig · 10-04-2007, 12:51 AM

Unfortunately it would only help one out of your three drivers. That whole thing bit me on the ass in my first LMES.

I didn't think my Super Fit driver did a thing for me in my first LMES series.

I think the best bet is to pick Thinker as a non-racing practice dude for getting your setup, and then you can alternate two other drivers in the race. That's what I'm doing in my current season, and it's worked to perfection so far.

Mr. Wednesday · 10-04-2007, 05:38 PM

Dola, obviously, the two other drivers have performance-related characteristics.

If there's already another thinker on your team, you could maybe do something situational, like taking wet weather warrior, then you can get a nice edge on any race that starts out rainy.

Mr. Wednesday · 10-04-2007, 05:40 PM

Double dola, one other thing about LMES: Because the SC intervals are generally excessively long, it's usually a good idea to set a relatively high SC reaction. Just be careful that it's shorter than your shortest pit interval, because the BATracer race engine does not handle consumption of an extra pit stop appropriately. It'll pit you on the last lap of the race.

vex · 10-09-2007, 07:06 AM

Has batracer been down for everyone else since yesterday evening?

vex · 10-09-2007, 07:11 AM

Found that the forums are still up, but the game is definitely down and no one really knows why and the admin Jules has yet to show up.

Mr. Wednesday · 10-09-2007, 01:03 PM

It was down for a while, then back up later in the day. Most series have been rescheduled, with a large change in when they run. Stuff that I had running in early to mid-afternoon will now be nearer to midnight.

Mr. Wednesday · 10-16-2007, 09:26 AM

I'm going to try to sign up for another LMES series when I can get on, and when it's next up for signup. Is anybody else interested, or should I just leave my team open for whoever? I'll be running Pescarolo/Peugot/Michelin again, I liked how that combination performed in the recently-concluded season.

SnDvls · 10-16-2007, 09:39 AM

I'd be game Mr. W

Mr. Wednesday · 10-16-2007, 03:38 PM

OK, then, I'll be checking periodically for LMES to come open, and if it does, I'll make a team, password protect, and post.

vex · 10-16-2007, 10:04 PM

(V8 Supercars 2006 #19313)

A new team has been created "Supercheap Auto Racing".

Will Brown is the team leader

password is dola

Mr. Wednesday · 10-16-2007, 10:26 PM

vex · 10-16-2007, 10:40 PM

Nice. Here's to a good season.

Oh, and let's take out the FOFC wannabes

Mr. Wednesday · 10-16-2007, 10:48 PM

Well, I did win a driver championship in my last V8's series.

On the other hand, my teammate had horrible luck and finished somewhere in the 20's.

Mr. Wednesday · 10-16-2007, 10:51 PM

Dola, and that's right, there is a faux-FOFC team in the series.

Mr. Wednesday · 10-16-2007, 10:52 PM

Double dola, what's your home race? I took Bathurst, my usual pick, although I maybe should have taken Sandown as it seems like a lot more people take the former than the latter.

vex · 10-16-2007, 10:59 PM

I went with:

Phillip Island Penultimate Race

Mr. Wednesday · 10-16-2007, 11:20 PM

FYI, I like to do one of the enduros because of the speed bonus you get with your home race, and the fact that the enduros are worth triple points.

Mr. Wednesday · 10-17-2007, 11:06 AM

LMES #19326 - LMP1 / Pescarolo / Peugot / Michelin - Front Office Endurance - pwd "trout"

I have Speed Demon / Committed / Thinker. If you like Thinker, it's not exactly redundant having two on the team... I think with only one, we may still have races where we're not quite to 100%.

SnDvls · 10-17-2007, 12:40 PM

someone beat me in

Mr. Wednesday · 10-17-2007, 02:32 PM

Yeah, they beat Kurtis in too. At least, I think they did — he's playing in the same series on another team.

Actually, I signed up for the other team so that I wouldn't steal SnDvls spot... Looks like that didn't work so well.

That's an academy game, so I can't join.

SirFozzie · 01-24-2008, 01:22 PM

You guys still playing?

Lathum · 01-24-2008, 03:07 PM

I could get back into a league

Mr. Wednesday · 01-24-2008, 03:40 PM

I'm still playing. I just finished an MR2 game teamed with Kurtis.

FYI for anyone playing that carset, push very hard because anything short of a podium finish is relatively worthless.

Scoobz0202 · 01-29-2008, 10:01 PM

I am about 3/4 the way through my first MR2 series, and I have come to the conclusion that I absolutely hate this series. I can not wait till it's over. I have been pushing hard the entire season, and some races I still look like a grandma or I crash out when I am in the top 5. Grrr...

BTW, name is Chris Homan. Hit me up if anybody needs a teammate.

SirFozzie · 01-29-2008, 10:04 PM

I've got pub lic and private spots open if folks want to do another league

Mr. Wednesday · 01-29-2008, 11:18 PM

If we've got enough people, I'd be up for it. There are seven active in the clan (that is, with an active world ranking), plus Chris and Buddy Grant who aren't in the clan.

SirFozzie · 01-30-2008, 09:33 AM

Works for me.

FrogMan · 05-28-2008, 07:25 PM

so, anybody still playing this thing? I just logged back in and signed up for a V8 series in a single driver team. Might be interested in getting into one other series although I can only log in in the evening. If someone is looking for such a teammate, give me a shout.

FM

Scoobz0202 · 05-28-2008, 07:28 PM

Oh yeah. I actually have three accounts on there.

Chris Homan is my account.

kingfc22 · 05-28-2008, 07:42 PM

Still playing. I usually am just running 1-2 series at a time.

The new F1 '08 is pretty fun.

kingfc22 · 03-15-2010, 06:23 PM

Anybody still giving this a go?

I just logged back in for the first time in over 18 months and have gotten back in to a few series.

They even have a new series based on the Indy 500. Race is broken up into 4 different sessions.

Scoobz0202 · 03-15-2010, 06:39 PM

I've been playing for over two and a half years. I am one of the GM's (forum moderator essentially) now.

hxxp://batracer.com/-us?Eoz

There was a big drama a few months back where Ferrari basically told Jules to strip the game of their stuff and the game was stripped down big time. There used to be about 8 F1's and many other carsets. Now there are generic names for everything with only two active F1 series. Still fun, though.

vex · 06-19-2010, 12:05 PM

Just now thought of this game, going to give it a go again.
