Official MEW Race of Geeks [MEWRL]

I know its too late to matter, but just to show you that I did try :slight_smile: Was making gradual improvements, but after 10 or so laps I quit. Kak slow, rusty as heck, and moving on to Time Trials in Austria from tomorrow. Back-to-back races are a pain.

@Snowbeast, am assuming the required car for Austria is Red Bull?

Oooooh! Pretty new F1 2019 font! That’s worth a submission on its own! :smile:

One or two PM’s regarding submitting times.
With F1 2019 out I think French GP times can be submitted by Friday evening.
@SIGSTART is it possible to have a F1 times or Race of geeks section on Discord so we can load times?

You can start submitting times for the next race once FP1 starts.
We will be using Red Bulls ( @GregRedd the mentalist predicted this)

Just remembered I’m still a person of some influence on the MEW Discord, so set this up quickly cos @SIGSTART is probably too busy oiling his beard while driving around the backroads of the Cape.

New Category for ongoing games and challenges, and a Race of Geeks channel created. Will do proper channel description and stuff later, but in the interim… it’s here:

Thanks for jumping in @GregRedd. You are the original creator of the Discord, so it’s only right that you retain phenomenal cosmic some power.

I’ve rejigged things somewhat into a larger Most Epic Gaming Avents (M.E.G.A.) [sic] category, where I’ve moved all our GameClub, Challenges, and MEWME stuff.

What are the current rankings? Or are we starting over completely?

I do believe that that time is a new lap record around the actual Red Bull Ring. No where near fastest in the game though. But a decent lap for 2019 cars.

Not much between the Merc and the Red Bull… Nor @DieGrootHammer for that matter!

If I used Max’s line here my time will be flagged and my time not submitted… Cheater!

I look forward to also participating. 2019 should just open up already.

I’ve got a feeling I’m waaaayyyy behind the rest of you but it gives the motivation to try and get better.

A Challenger Approaches!!

Good, I’ll put in some more laps to get my times down. A disgrace that in a 2019 car I am not faster yet.

I do have the advantage of some assists. I cannot get the gearing right on the controller, and I need the ABS as I have no feel for the brakes on the XBOX One controller…

Time for a wheel, perhaps? :wink:

That’s a dark path you are looking down

OK, in F1 2019 I seem to have found a few extra fractions.

Cannot wait to get a full roster!

You did that time in your first session with the game? On a controller? With all Assists on? And you’re 5+ secs faster than me?

I hate you.

And I suck.

Life has been very busy this side.
Please send me your French and Austrian GP times on Discord if not posted on here already (quick catch up if you wanna join).
I will do a full table with points end of week beginning of next week.

Silverstone approaches - we will be racing Mclarens and Open,

Have fun :slight_smile:

Please look here

I was doing really well in F1 2019 on PC, but then hopped onto XBOX for F1 2018 to prepare for the XBOXPlaydatesZA race tomorrow night. My Ferrari scored a pretty good time, almost a second faste than the PC version! But when I moved to the Merc to get a good time there too. It frustrated me to no end!

So I gave up. After supper I tried again and scored my best lap yet on the first go! I am not going to push my luck and will call it quits!

Not too bad in the Ferrari, but look at my “no time” laps!

Then a quick single lap and BAM!

Hey guys!

I asked @Snowbeast if I can hep him with the Race of Geeks. So I started making a Google Sheet with the basics on it. I will make it look pretty later. Basically only Snowbeast and I can add times and points, but you can all see the results.

I will try to update this every Monday after an F1 Grand Prix so we can track our progress.

Please also let me know if you want to see anything else on the sheet or if it does not make any sense.

Soooo… I know why F1 2018 has such a faster time than F1 2019. There is NO DRS on the main straight in F1 2019. Even Lewis Hamilton just complained about it during practise.
