Count me in. I would like a 2 part essay on why you would be the right fit for my team and how you can contribute to my championship victory. Think Mark Webber and you'll have a great chance ;)

The car is the Formula Ford.... Tune I believe whatever you can tune on the stock car. No upgrades, just tuning.

The only permitted upgrade is race differential. Tuning is allowed. In addition to the driver's championship, there will also be a team championship (max 2 drivers per team).

Sorry for the delay in getting the series page up; it should be up in the next day or so.

We seem to be having some issues with the sign up process. For the time being, if you wish to sign up just post so below, and state if you wish to create a team or join a team and we will add it manually until the problem is solved.

#67 GRD 4 3L = Team Footwork. The team won't be able to join the 1st race due to discovery of a hidden tool in a sock during customs inspection. Despite the irony of Team Footwork being hampered by a sock, the team remains in good spirits.

The team will therefore rent a Formula Ford to at least conduct tuning/trial sessions only.

I'm running some practice laps at Yas Marina right now if anyone cares to join me.

Hopefully the sign up is fixed now, if you still can't join please post as above and we'll add you to a team/ create one! :)

Team Footwork's rental FF in tuning trial session last night resulted in 2:17 fastest lap, 2:18 average. Missed you, MB27. I got on late last night.

Not a problem, and those are some nice times! Speeds like that will have you fighting for the podium, for sure!

What exactly are the rules regarding corner cutting at Yas? I can get into the 2:17s, but that requires putting a little more than two wheels out of bounds.
Fri 29 Aug 2014, 11:53
Two wheels must remain on the track. All four wheels on the paint/over the curbs is considered cutting.

Anyone got a tune they would share for this please. I have had so little time and am not getting on well at all, i'm well in the 2:20's with most laps at 2:23 or thereabouts.

Razor, I would be happy to share my tune but I'm not completely happy with it at the moment. I like low downforce therefore the rear end is still quite "lively". I'll share it tonight so you can try it out to see if it fits your driving style. It can do 2:18, 2:17 if pushed, and I managed a "!" 2:16.9 as well.

Thanks GRD that would be a great help.
