I agree with Hitman.I just did a few laps at first to look at the scenery..hahahha....fantastic eye candy Steve...thanx m8.
Last night the best I could get was a 1:24.117.I could not for the life of me break into the 1:23 barrier.I have a feeling flow may do that soon.

I gave a look to Euro race result for Albert Park and i noticed that qualy lap from killa was 1.26.5 and his fastest race lap was 1.26.8 .
Now , Carreara did 1.24

, so is the track different in shape too , or just you NA guys are so fast ??
I'm curious ; now i have to install new Melbourne and do some lap

I think limpy made some physics changes after the first few races.

killahead · Post by **killahead** » 14 Nov 2006, 19:44

Yeah must be that....or perhaps gravity changed since then or perhaps we drove on gravel I don't remember but there is NO WAY that ANYONE is faster than me

Ruben Miranda · Post by **Ruben Miranda** » 14 Nov 2006, 21:44

LOL at Killa hehehehehehehe

Yes the phisics or something changed because my best lap here ever was a 1:28 or 29.
And I broke in to the 1:26 yesterday and it was with mistakes.

SteveB can confirm if I'm right but I think it's a different conversion from what the Euro div raced on earlier this season.

Steve · Post by **Steve** » 15 Nov 2006, 02:12

might it be the GP4 version of the track? It sure looks different than any EA version I've ever seen.

SteveB · Post by **SteveB** » 15 Nov 2006, 03:27

yup it is a GP4 conversion and I did ALOT of changes worked my ass off on this one to get it right, but indeed there were also physics and engine changes done to F1 Champions after a few races.

nice job on Albert Park Steverino !! looks great

Flow · Post by **Flow** » 15 Nov 2006, 06:08

Great track SteveB, nice good looking. i only did few lap and did in 25.3 as PB, but i was not in mood to realy practice tonight. Later il try to push, was more a track recognition tonight.

Drago(ITA) · Post by **Drago(ITA)** » 15 Nov 2006, 17:14

Finally i tested the track yesterday : it seems a very good job Steve

The phisic of the car could have been also different , but i was not able to drive the qualy or race setup i had in an old setup backup folder.
With 25 litres i was not able to do less than 1.27

.
Then Juan kindly sent me his setup and soon i did an 1.24.7 .
That can only conferm my theory that i'm not so bad in driving skill, but have to learn a lot about setup lol .
To the faster driver : pls try to share more setup and hints with slower driver ; you will not loose part of you driving skill and they will only have more fun on track with this nice game.

C u on track,
Drago

Hey, np, i post my setup of Japan in Japan reference time. I use the same setup with -3 on back wing, and rest as is. I did not done enough lap to test setup last night, i will try later if i can.

SteveB · Post by **SteveB** » 15 Nov 2006, 23:02

Thanks guys, I am very happy you all like the Australia track.

Please can you also do some fuel usage tests, I think it isn't right.
Do like 20 lap stint, if you use lower fuel you won't get proper fuel usage.

I will also do a test tonight.

Keep an eye out for any updates in the OFFICIAL TRACK thread.

Oh ya AUSTRIA (A1 RING) will be released either tonight or tomorrow night 100%

Thanks again.

1.24.8 is my best so far. Need to start a race setup.

SteveB · Post by **SteveB** » 18 Dec 2006, 04:47

initial testing for AUSTRALIA for 07 season with F1 Champions 06 mod time:1:28.9

I am sure the time will drop once I get used to the cars settings. LOL

EDITED: down to a 1:28.1 should be in the 1:27's soon.

SteveB · Post by **SteveB** » 19 Dec 2006, 16:00

Down to a 1:27.8
Noob was a 1:25
Hitman was a 1:28

These were from last night and are pretty close to last seasons times.
