The official BATracer discssuion thread

Aloushi... I have read your PM and have responded in the thread below... I will immediately close the game.. I am an officer and I didn't know you were out and was trying to take more active role as mentioned in your previous message.MotoGP74

• Proposed new name: Formula 1 Passion Season (insert #)

I have proposed the idea to combine Aloushi's and MotoGP's idea.. use champcar as they allow team work and also non-bias competition to select cars and chassis... you can be a one man team, a two man team or even a three man team. I have also proposed to Aloushi that I will sponsor the prize gift to the eventual F1 winner.. a gamespot PLUS subscription for one year or a BATracer KT gift.. however, I want the prize to be quite exclusive so I suggested to him to slow the F1 game when we start it to a 48 hour turn around. The slow turn around timing allows the players to come back to this website and post player reports and opinions while the game master can post the race replay as well as report... this should generate good response from all the players, especially with the prize gift... Since Aloushi mentioned that we can a 36 day turn around... this means we expanded the time frame to become F1PU champion to make this prize gift to only two people per year... a very exclusive award.. Let me know what you guys think of this... I wait for your response! :)SMUboi

maybe just make it completely random, whoever wants to take part signs up and each driver get assigned a car by random, sort of like pulling names out of a hat or drawing strawsmjk1

Say we have the following sign up for our next season: icytower38, SMUboi, KimisApprentice, BlaZe_irl, mjk1, aloushi87, kipi19, MotoGP74, SGrocker1027, fatal1rc

Obviously it would be best to have more, but this is just for example purposes.

If icytower38 is selected "leader" he puts all names in a hat and all teams in another hat. He would select a team from the hat followed by the two drivers to make up the team, and so on.

Example:

• aloushi picks Red Bull with drivers icytower38 & mjk1
• Midland with drivers fatal1rc & kipi19
• Ferrari with drivers MotoGP74 & SMUboi
• Honda with drivers SGrocker1027 & aloushi87
• McLaren with drivers BlaZe_irl & KimisApprentice

I'm willing to be "leader" if this method is chosen.

• The F1PU will be organizing a whole new F1 championship; meaning that all previous seasons will be considered as testing/beta seasons.

• The new F1PU Batracer Season 1 (name subject to change) will start whenever the new F1'07 game is available on BATracer. Hopefully it will be available with the start of the new F1 season.
  

• Thanks to a generous offer from SMUboi (Ben), the season will be sponsered and the champion will receive a special prize presented by Ben plus a special tag/emblem presented by the F1PU. And to add more icing on the cake, the champion will be inducted to the newly designed Hall of Fame (will be done soon).

• There will be a maximum of 3 seasons per year to maintain the prestige of the game and the champion.

• There will be a 48 hours time gap between sessions. Drivers are encouarged to post reports/press conferences on a special thread that will be created on the board.

• Only and only F1PU members will be allowed to play, so you have to be a GS memebr + F1PU member to be able to participate.
  

I'm completely confused on the points end of things, but since I'm not handeling that it don't really matter to me :).

I still think random draw is the fastest way to get things started and fairest way to select cars. However, I am cool with that IF there is a clearly designate list of what cars fall in to what level that DOES NOT change. Only disadvantage I see is that it might take a bit longer to start up the season.

I know it means another thread, but I think it's time to open one up for voting on how to get this done considering that we have a few different suggestions and seeing how the real 2007, and the BATracer carset, start relatively soon.

I don't really think this is a good idea since it would take over a year to find a winner.Aunini

All good ideas. I like the prize system, I think thats cool. Free Kool Tools? I'd love to have that. That might take a while though, like the others said. Three seasons to determine a winner, is kind of long.

I think all this weighted point system is too complicated for the prizes. thats my opinionkipi19
