BATRacer - online F1 game

Post

Hey guys, nobody has mentioned it yet so I thought I would..

An online F1 game that was around a few years ago came back online a couple of days ago.

It's a bit like a strategy game. You start in practice and tell the driver when to drive and how hard to push. Then he tells you how the car feels and you adjust the settings. If you push too hard you can crash and lose your practice time. Then you input a qualifying, race and driving strategy and the race is 'calculated'. Sometimes you need a bit of luck too. Personally, I love it :)

It takes about 5-10 minutes each day to complete each session.

Have a go, but playing a season takes around 1 month!

When I looked Williams wasn't available.

Don't beat me too bad, I've only got a Midlands, also I crashed my Proton BTCC car, however on the single run I completed I thrashed everyone. Oh Yeah!

Great start.

wrk, head to the 'Car Setup' page. You can do4 practice laps, or 6 if you are in the 2002 champ.

You can do another 4 laps after qualifying so your setup should be pretty close by then.
