Hello and Welcome back for another season of racing here at Race Department. Car Selection is finally complete and the full roster can be found here.
New threads should be up a week before each race and I will be asking you to post your availability each week in the race thread regardless of whether you are available or not. I'm relatively laid back with dropouts regardless of reason as long as you tell me in advance before the race.
For those who are new, reserves are assigned on a Race by Race basis and are first come first serve each week. if you are available to reserve for a race just post your availability in the relevant race thread and if anyone drops out you will take their space for that particular race.
I expect everyone to join the lobbies on time but if you are late, please say beforehand and we'll wait upto 5 mins before we get going.
I believe I've sent everyone a Friend Request on PSN and I will be adding any remaining drivers to the PS Messages when I get on later. We also have an unofficial discord server as another form of communication which you are free to join but I'll primarily be using the PS Messages group at race time.
I will also be running the Predictor Game once again this season. This is completely optional and just a bit of fun on the side.
Other than that please be respectful on and off track and most importantly have some fun! It looks set to be a very competitive season.

If you have any questions feel free to ask myself or @Martijn Boontje.

[Mitchell Haverlag]

Available!

 

[SJM1337]

Qualifying: 14th
Race: 17th

Can't for the life of me understand how I'm one of the slowest drivers, I know I haven't raced for 2 years but I don't get how my speed has regressed from being getting poles and podiums on F1 2016 to finishing last here.

I'm super confused... maybe I'm just too old and lost all my pace and should go back into retirement lol

 

[CianG-4]

I’m available for this one

 

[alex1994128]

Happy to end my winless drought (since S11 singapore) right at the start. Got quite lucky overall with the margins in quali, the traffic and my strategy, but keeping within the white lines was the most important part, even though the pace was awful at times.

Australia is tricky in regards to overtaking if you have similar pace, but this race showed that its very competetive up top and that occurences like last season where i finshed 45 seconds behind ben and get P3 will be in the past, looking forward to next week

 

[Luke Cage]

.................... Yup.

My race highlights.

 

[janbo]

Congrats to Alex, looked like a well deserved victory.

I got a fantastic start and jumped a couple of places. Luckily there's no bump on the right hand side of the start-finish straight in the game or I would've ended up like Ricciardo. I took the inside line into the first corner and hugged the kerb, but a McLaren swept in from the outside, hit me on the side and I spun off. Later on I made a mistake in the penultimate corner and went side-by-side into the last corner with a Williams. Again I had the inside line, but after a contact I lost control and hit the wall. After that it was mostly a lonely drive, but I'm happy I finished the race at least. Looking forward to the next one.

I'd set the recording to be an hour long but all I got was five seconds of loading screen. Therefore all I have is from the race highlights:

 

[DemoN F1]

Quiet race but very happy with the result, completely unexpected. Pace was competitive but given my track record of Australia had no ambition of doing anything more than sitting in DRS.

Podium streak up to 6, should be looking stronger for the rest of the season as well.
