Welcome
Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines, F1 Time Trials are back!

Slightly different format this season - every two weeks a new track will be decided.
Now, last year we had some run away winners, so we need to level the playing field a bit.
This season, you must post both a wet and dry time for each circuit. (wet lost interest on it's own last season)
The winner will be determined by the average lap time of wet and dry combined.
The winner of each event gets to choose the next circuit.

Rules
You must not use any assists while setting your time.
For your time to be accepted, you must post a screenshot (PC) or photo (PS3, 360) of the leaderboard showing your lap time.
(this helps us verify no assists). This must be embedded in the forum post, no links (takes longer to check) We will not accept videos, for this same reason. Do not upload pictures to the forum, use flickr, photobucket etc.
Please also update your forum profile to include your gamertag.
When you post you time, please mention your platform, PC, PS3, 360.

Have fun, competition closes on 7th Octber, 9pm GMT.

If I turn out to be the winner, as ive not calculated it but suspect i am, then were off to Suzuka for obvious reasons.

I confess that I find your idea surreal .Everyone knows that the game is completely buggy in time trial mod.
It is now accepted that it is possible to cut paths without taking penalties according to the trend of the server.
Springs with 9 / 9, 10 / 10 or 11 / 11 can propel your car after 3 or 4 rounds of 3 or 4 seconds more fast without any reasons...
and allows others to play without assists ... the car is attached to the road.
In an assignment I cut two chicanes and beat my ghost ... 5 seconds without any flags.

No patch at Christmas?, one of us is posted 1.13.xxx or 1.09.xxx ahahaha what a fraud!

It's called for fun!

We all have the same bugs / exploits available, so it's a level playing field and gives us all a little fun competition.

If you don't like it, why not just jog on?

Your english is like me how...?

Yes I have read it exactly like you wrote it my friend - belittling the TT competition - if you did not mean it to come over like that, please accept my sincere apologies if your intentions were lost in translation or something.

eg - Surreal in general means bizarre or dreamlike.
