As the 2019 season officially opens in Melbourne today so does the more important Official MEW Race of Geeks start.
Rules are simple.
You may enter using F1 2017 or F1 2018
You may use any controller
You may use any configuration regarding setup and assists as long as no scripts or hacks are used.
Track will be the current weekends track - raced in “ghost mode” (insert correct name here) as we are using different platforms a photo of your best lap time(s) must be posted on the forum (whatsapp group for times if posting images is a mission) with a piece of paper saying “MEW F1 (username)” visible no late than Lights out on Sunday.
You have two chances of scoring
5.1 “Quali” will be done on the track to be used for that weekends race IN ANY CAR YOU CHOOSE
5.2 Race day will be in a predetermined car.
Points are 10 for a win 9 for second etc etc
Should their be enough interest we can have a team event. First race will determine the team (first and last, second and second last)
I will organise a physical trophy for the winner and winning team (posted in December, received in July)
Have fun - who cares if you do a 1.51 in Melbourne.
With the rules out the way, lets get this party started!
First race will be in a HAAS as their is not much difference in performance between the two games (to my knowledge)
*Remember Melbourne is an early start on Sunday so get those times in.
Rules are open for discussion until tomorrow evening.
Can we not just take a screenshot and post it on here?
I am on no whatsapp group, and writing things down and then taking pics is so 2007 + I am sure no one on here will actually cheat and photo shop results
Will it also not be more interesting if we all race using the same settings? Most realistic setting as possible to have an even playing field ?
I’d say any assist config is fine. It probably would skew times in favour of the experienced racers but at least novices can still have fun and not get overly frustrated with the learning curve
Still just Xbox Controller, got no space for a lekker steering wheel setup at the moment
And I play Bike games like Ride 3 as well, so controller works the best.
Have not played a car racing game in a VERY long time though. Think the last was the Forza Comp we did
Right then, let me go ahead and set the first benchmark
First things first, that is a quick recording of the replay of my fastest lap with the Haas so far. The time was a 1:23.501. Not a bad start, but as you can see from the video I cocked up the last sector. I’ll try and improve my lap time again and submit my final time in screenshot format
Yes I did cheat a little bit. I have TC on Medium, but everything else is off. Also doing manual gear selection. I’m about 1.5 seconds slower with full professional driving setting with no assist at all.
+ I am sure no one on here will actually cheat and photo shop results
