Season II - F1 2016 RACEONOZ Formula One World Championship (PS4)

I think a fitting farewell is for every body racing to stop before the finish line, and wait for me to finish maybe 3 laps to win.

But in all seriousness, looking forward to it.

So who actually is racing tomorrow night? Curious on numbers

I tried to drive on 16 last night and i just cant do it lol so ill be out

i'll be there tonight

May the best man win!
Good luck tonight @its-benny-racer & @razor4797

Hey lads I will be hosting tonight. Lobby should be open no later than 8:10

Net dropped out. Trying to get back on

@Hatfield
@VARDZ



What a season! Big ups to Hat on winning his first race! It is somewhat ironic that 2 seasons in a row that the teammate of the champion has won his first race in the last event of the season.

But that doesn't matter. 5 wins, 11 podiums, most races lead, there could only be one winner.

Well done @its-benny-racer!

Well, last night I threw most of my conservative style out the window and I absolutely thrashed the car as hard as I could. Ended in the sand a lot and luckily bumped off a few walls with no damage. Still came last. But, points are points. I guess everyone forgot to stop before the line and let me win as a farewell to the game?

Thanks for having me race alongside you guys this season. I've had a blast and whilst I've never been competitive, I feel I've learnt a bunch. So I'll grab the new game hopefully over the weekend and get started preparing for next season.

Congrats to both Benny for his championship andto Hatfield for his first race win. I should've crashed you both out when I had the chance...

It ultimately was an unwelcome return to this game. I really struggled to get the car working again and I was missing braking points everywhere. It was really a shock to be on provisional pole despite a really conservative final sector, until Hat blew it out of the water. In the one shot the wheel was reading P1 the whole way through until I went so deep into turn 13 I chucked up gravel! A front row spot was a miracle.



After passing Hat on lap 1 I struggled to pull a gap as I was still at war with the spongy brakes. Inevitably I made a stupid error which let him and razor through. I jumped the latter into the pits, but had to push like hell to catch Hat. A slow Bryan cost me a second or two, but the charge was still on. Unfortunately by the time I caught Hat my DRS was not working, meaning there was no way I could pass. Desperate, I tried to pass Hat in the pits by going on the medium tyre to the end.

This worked but on his out lap Hat was already on my diffuser, and then passed me with DRS. I never got payback with the tyres so it was Game Set and Match. A tremendous win for Hat. See what happens when you battle someone properly instead of trying so break their front wing all the time?

It's been a great season, even though I was denied the chance to defend my title through a lack of internet. 3 wins is great considering the amount of races I DNS/DNF'd from. A few missed opportunities too, I'm sure Spain and Germany were never going to be anything but mine. Just a shame we only had one wet race this season!

Huge congrats again to @its-benny-racer, @Hatfield and Ferrari. I also think @razor4797 deserves huge plaudits just to even contend for the championship, keep in mind after 11 rounds, he was SIXTY EIGHT points behind, and still took it to the final round. Unbelievable. Magical stuff from someone who still does not use a racing wheel.

I'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who's taken part in the past 2 series on this game, and helped prove that a racing league is possible in an F1 game, something unthinkable only a few years ago.

Next season will move onto F1 2017, with faster but easier to drive cars, new strategies and a whole new challenge. I can't wait!

The decisive moment that ultimately secured me 10th in the championship:

been a great season with y'all! & a pleasure to drive the merc. my goal was to get the best car on the grid on the podium at least once which i got done at Abu Dahbi & made my ego feel better than the chassis!
huge congrats to Benny & Hat, all the race winners, everyone that got it to the chequered flag & especially to Jono for making it happen. a special thx to Motors, it was brilliant to have a teamie that was always in contention for pole & the win each week... his pole lap at Monaco was, & still is, unreal
so long f1 2016 & thx for the memories

Firstly I'd like to congratulate @its-benny-racer on the championship win, very well deserved mate.
With 5 wins and many pole positions you did an exceptional job.

Also congrats to @Hatfield for his maiden F1 win, you really blew that one out of the park!

To the race itself; Albert Park is a track I've always struggled with, no matter what F1 game it is. A win wasn't really on the cards so I had already accepted the fact that the championship was Benny's before the race even began.
I was however very happy with finishing in 3rd place and adding another podium to my tally. Benny was catching me at a rate of knots at the end there as he was on the much faster tyre, but I managed to stay consistent and keep ahead of him despite my tyres being at about 80%.


To sum up my championship then;
I'd say it's definitely my strongest performance throughout ROOZ. 4 wins and 13 podiums from 17 race finishes (1 DNS, 3 DNF) is pretty alright in my opinion.
It's a good feeling being able to battle with other elite drivers and fight for the win despite being on a controller, so I take it really well when @JonoStan96 says, quote "the best controller user ROOZ has ever seen".

Thanks again lads and I'll see you again soon for Season III.

That's not all. At the final round of pitstops, @Jim_aka_The_Man was going for the undercut on the Soft tire. When I took my stop for fresh Supersofts, I exited the pits ahead of him, but only just! It was nail-bitingly close. Having the tire advantage, I quickly got out of his DRS range and cruised to the finish.
