but he's from Sweden, so..

Racism alert

Nearly all of my games are being affected by changing weather conditions which makes it so confusing

Final result in Brazil GP wet race:

1. Malafaya (RBR)
2. Horton (Brown) + 0.922
3. Erman (BMW) + 48.4

Man, so far ahead but two errors cost me the win

[JoostLamers]

I scored pole in a STR in dry weather My DC's are Wet Weather Warrior and Wisdom.. I already scored a pole in the wet, but this is not quite what I expected: fastest in Q1, Q2 and Q3.. 4th in race though..

wow! but getting a pole in TR is great in dry

[phil1993]

which year? 2008 STR is pretty good. I got a pole and a win in it (in the wet) and my team mate nearly won the title.

2009

Hmm, that is quite impressive. Well done. I need a few good public games to boost me up the rankings. My Brown game is nearly over and I'm 3rd with 1 win, no poles but 6 fastest laps.

[JoostLamers]

Situation is like this now in that STR game of mine: Battle for championship is now on as is it the final race of the season, guy that's second in the standings is on pole and has to win, and the guy in P1 has to score zero points and he qualified 12th if the guy on pole wants to become Champion. I'm in 4th (quite happy with that, as it was another dry Q) and set the pole guy as main rival: I wanna win, nothing to lose!!

[phil1993]

I wanna ask the forum whether you guys think that this is one of the most whinging and arrogant players on bat...

His season comments.

Melbourne -R Lap 42 - accident
Q10. Cruising along, picking up spots, avoiding collisions. Nice, safe race. Then? WHAM! In the ass.

Sepang- R Lap 52 - suspension
Q9. Twelve lap first stint -- I set fast lap four times -- had me up to P4, which was where I stayed most of the rest of the race, after other cars had also cycled through their stops.Well, until I got raped with four laps to go. I thought Toyota's were supposed to be reliable!?

Shanghai R Lap 22 -accident
Reliable? RELIABLE!? Reliable my f**k**g b***!!!

Bahrain 9th

Barcelona 1st

Monaco R Lap 18 - accident
Q7. Up two places at start. Caution laps 2-4. Blocked by a car with 22% less setup laps 5-7. "Random" glitch on lap 14 reduced car to 60% mechanical. Still managed to hang in P5 ... well, until I got permanently "randomized" on lap 18. Toyota? You can bite my b***. I'll be damned if I *EVER* take another Toyota in BatRacer ever again!!!

Istanbul 4th
Q2. Teammate was Q1. Both of us agreed we would somehow get screwed. Indeed, I had to make an early first stop, and he had mechanical damage in his second stint which reduced him to 60% mechanical. Yet, it turned out okay. Miracles never cease.

Silverstone - 3rd
Q13. Half the field was completely clueless on their setup. (50% setup, or less.) This boded well for my future, if I could avoid crashing. Race started in wet +45%, but I bet on the weather clearing, going wet +35%. And it did clear, slowly but steadily. P2 at end of first stint. P1, with 16 second lead, at end of second stint. Had a fast stop, but could only pit out P3, which is where I stayed. Good result.

Nurburgring - 3rd
Q2 to teammate on pole. Led first and second lap, setting fast lap. Pitted on lap 3 due to early caution. Next stop lap 37, so a heavy fuel load. Lost time due to two second stint "randomizations". Second stop just before caution. After everyone else did the SC stops, I was P5. Blocked by Horton, on 60% mechanical, laps 44-49. P4 lap 50. P3 lap 53.

Hungaroring 9th
f*** five times: 1) Lap 2, bashed by an AWOL on -14% setup, had to pit. 2) The crew lost 11 seconds. 3) Lap 13, bashed by another car, had to pit. 4) Lap 22 "random" driver error, lost time. 5) Lap 51 "random" driver error, down to 40% mechanical. But other than that? I was the fastest car on the track, setting fast lap three times. Wahoo.

He needs a life

He's a sad, sad man.....

[iceman1]

I am very busy with new Projects - I lost interest in Batracer

[Tom Vandenhove]

Okay, plz don't call me a noob (cuz I know that already) but I am always wavering about converting set ups to dry when practice/warm up is wet. I mean, setup changes on the engineers board says fully wet.... But I need dry. So.. do I have to follow the steps or do the different.

for example;

Front ARB -18 (do +18 then or not ?)

If it's a storm do +18.

For everything else do a percentage of +18,
i.e.
Greasy = 9% of +18
Moist= 18% of +18
Drizzle = 27% of +18
Light Rain = 36% of +18
Rain = 45% of +18
Wet and Slippery = 54% of +18
Steady Rain = 63% of +18
Heavy Rain = 72% of +18
Treacherous Rain = 81% of +18
Monsoon = 90% of +18

Or use the Wet Weather setup tool that I found recently
