That happened to me a couple of days ago, I decided I wanted to do a race in these cars, completed my outlap, then fake Senna decided swerve out of the pits at Hockenheim, and killed both of us.

Rule change
Just a quick note that I have changed the default skills centrepoint for drivers from 50 to 60. This change will affect everyone the same and shouldn't require a change of buys.
50 was based on the starting value I used in the rFactor simulated careers when there were only 4 attributes to buy. With almost double that here and a few more car options, I have made this swap so the drivers aren't as bad at the start and managers have a better chance of reaching the 90s in multiple skills.

Can we conclude from this rule change and the video posted above the AI with the current skill levels would had been utter morons constantly bumping eachother?

Actually at the moment all the AI have a more normal skillset that I just copied and pasted from the default files. I haven't dropped anything in them yet, just the car files so far.

As soon as I have the buys for 2KF1, (@Aidan Keranen) we can begin!

Starting Values

The season is ready to start. All buys have been made an applied. Every attribute in italics had some money spent on them. The values were all then randomised (where required) to give us these stats to start the season off.

The season will be starting this evening when I record the first race. So expect to see the qualifying results sometime tomorrow morning, followed by the video upload later in the day.

 

[Lesley Buurlage]

Max with the highest aggression stat in the field, looks right to me

 

[Aidan Keranen]

Is the crash value better higher or lower?

Lower

De Vries takes maiden pole
Nick de Vries took the first pole position of Global Formula Automobilista with an absolutely dominant 1 second margin over Villeneuve in second. Verstappen showed that the NLE pace wasn't a fluke in 3rd, followed by Barthez, Hakkinen, de Angelis, Alonso and Watson.

skipped it to the end for now and will watch the whole thing later today but even though it's a bit of a bummer we didn't get the 1-2, pole and a win are still promising

Also Jim, put your volume op lad you're barely hearable

Only if you want unbearable static, my Mic is a bit Crap. Also I'm not going to try speaking louder, I doubt my voice would last the distance otherwise, I'm not that good at talking for 2 hours otherwise.

ok now i've watched the whole thing i can properly review it. what i've learned is:
-dutchies are apparently not only fast in the wet
-a goalie and a cyclist can finish top 5 in a Race
-i'm swiftly reminded why i don't like MotoGP
-reliability was underestimated

Jim around lap 60: i don't want to commentator curse anyone, and especially Nyck as he truly deserves this.
also Jim: proceeds to fully commentator curse every front runner talking about reliability and what not over the next 5 minutes

also @Jimlaad43 my audio criticism was unjustified, with a headset and the volume put up a bit the audio is more than sufficient, + in-game de vries is called Nick instead of Nyck, just wanted to point that out Top job so far and can't wait for the next one
