F1 2011 Time Trials: Melbourne, Australia

AUSTRALIA - MELBOURNE

Track maps courtesy of FIA website

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.

11/11 McLaren bug.. thats why.

i must say yes i used 11/11 but you still need a little skill to get time like this and setup the rest right

Here's my screens, in case I don't get another chance to upload before the deadline. I intend to improve these times though.

Dry: 1:16.926
Wet: 1:23.422
Avg: 1:20.174
Dif: 6.496
Score: 96.97

 

[James Chant]

only 3 valid entries so far....

Ok, so I have been working on how to score people. Its a little complicated.

1) I take your dry and wet time, and get and average and a difference.
2) The average and difference are added together and converted to a numerical value.
3) The official lap record for the circuit is converted into a numerical value.
4) Your lap time number is compared to the lap record number and a score is given.

This is the score which will determine the winner.

I will post these in the entry posts, and a table at the end of each competition, and don't forget the winner chooses the next track.

Current Standings

Derek Kind	96.97
Scott Webber	88.29
Andrew Skinner	76.81

 

[Derek Kind]

That's a pretty complicated way of doing it, but I can't complain so far about the result! It'll make it harder for us to figure out who's going to win before you calculate it all up, adding to the suspense.

You're an animal I tell ya.....a frick'n animal! :wink: Curious, wheel?.....what kind? I know it boils down to skill, just curious.

 

[Mark Tustain]

I wish I could take part in this but I'm a paraplegic so I've made analog hand controls, this however means I have to use automatic transmission :-(

So sorry to hear that. I have thought a lot about this lately. In April I broke my wrist and had just received my new Fanatec GT2. I was unable to use it and thought of folks like yourself. Of course my injury does not compare. Wish you the very best.

Instead of averages maybe just total them?

Yeah it's annoying, I've rigged up a system though with my DFGT wheel, basically got the pedals as triggers on the back but it covers my gear changers!

 

[Chris Rees]

Surely Mutant Doctor should have a better score than say Dylan? Doctors average time is quicker!

Which is why I said..

:tongue:

I didnt know how it would pan out til we had some more entries!

I think I will just scrap the scores, and work it on averages,
