Season hype!

 

[Smithy]

1. I think the Deki, Jume, Rikkurich will be on the podium, but i dont know which order. If i had to say. 1st Jume, 2nd Deki, 3rd, Rikkurich.

2. Michemery and Carre - provided carre finishes the races.

3. With the league being more competitive than ever i think i wont finish inside the Top 3, so im gonna aim for Top 5, but realistically i could see myself finishing 6th or 7th.

4. Im feeling quite confident with my pace, so id like to think i can finish in the Top 5, and qualifying im aiming to get inside the Top 8.

Pre-Race Questions:
1)As we enter the first race of the season 15, its evident some drivers haven't shown their true pace, and with surprises being a common occurrence at the opening race it seems a fitting to ask who you think the will be standing on the podium, come the chequered flag.
Deki,neyo and smithy

2)New teams, new drivers! With the addition of another division to PS4 platform, it has resulted in both leagues being much more equally matched, with that said which team do you think will win the constructors championship and why?
i have to go with mercedes

3)Lets talk about the bigger picture, how are you feeling in terms of where you may finish in the drivers standings.
There's a long season ahead of you, but if you had to guess where you would finish what would you say?
id say along the lines of p5-p7



4)Finally back to the race, where are you aiming to finish in the race? And where are you aiming to qualify?
i feel rather slow still on the track so qualy i think around p7-8 and race p6-7

 

[ne-yo1993]

So you better not talk like that to your dad, son !

 

[Jume96]

1. Podium:
1st Deki
2nd Carre
3rd Neyo

2. Mercedes. Overall, it is the best team, the most complete.

3. I am going to finish 8th.

4. In quali, 4th. In race, 6th.

 

[rikkurich]

1. I think 1st Carre, 2nd Deki, 3rd Neyo

2. Mercedes clearly the favorite, but I will say Red Bull. Neyo delivers results, and Kuba should be fighting for wins, from what I've seen his pace.

3. If I finish in top 6, I will be happy, but my main goal is to get my first win.

4. Quali: 6th, race: 4th of 5th

 

[ne-yo1993]

1. Deki has to be the favourite at australia. Guess he will be much faster in qualifying but it will be much closer in the race. Could be an intense race with so many driver within a few tenths.
1. Deki
2. Killer
3. Neyo

2. The pressure is on mich & carre. Looking at last leason, they have to win the title. Killer & liam are really strong again. They will put mercedes under pressure. Don't forget Ferrari with Deki & Cantera. Thankfully, I have a teammate with some skills in F1, finally. So RedBull will fighting the other teams.

3. I'm here to win races. I'm here to win title. That's whatI want. This is what motivates me. So my target is the championship

4.Will try my best. Australia is one of my weaker tracks but I still managed to win here 2x. Want to qualify as good as possible & then try to get a good result

1. As we enter the first race of the season 15, its evident some drivers haven't shown their true pace, and with surprises being a common occurrence at the opening race it seems a fitting to ask who you think the will be standing on the podium, come the chequered flag.
Army, xJarii, Tom

2. New teams, new drivers! With the addition of another division to PS4 platform, it has resulted in both leagues being much more equally matched, with that said which team do you think will win the constructors championship and why?
Killer and Liam and xJarii and Pipita. Killer has looked rapid right from the go. Liam will always be there or there abouts and pick up the points and wins. For D2 it's hard to say but xJarii and Pipita could be the strongest pairing on the grid. For me personally I'm very happy with Dave has a teammate 

3. Lets talk about the bigger picture, how are you feeling in terms of where you may finish in the drivers standings. There's a long season ahead of you, but if you had to guess where you would finish what would you say?
Top 8. Think my performances will pick up towards end of the season

4. Finally back to the race, where are you aiming to finish in the race? And where are you aiming to qualify?
Top 10 in the race and around there in qualifying 

 

[deki106]

Podium
1st Deki 
2nd neyo
3rd Smithy

Constructor championship 
Ferrari 

I am here to win the championship 
Nothing else 

Australia 
P1

 

[armytricks]

1. It's difficult to judge who the fastest at the moment are since this is my first season here, but from the pre-season races I'd say Jari, tigaby, Stevo/V5/Darius should be on the podium often this season and I hope I can be there with them too!

2. I'm confident myself and Stevo can do well in the Williams (looking at 2nd/3rd in constructors), and I think we will be challenged most by the McHonda and Force India duos (Jari/Pipita and DariusRS/Edward)

3. If I had to guess, I'd see myself in the top 3 at the end of the season however, I can see myself dropping down further if I can't keep the practice up when exam season approaches towards the middle of next year.

4. Looking to qualify 1st/2nd/3rd. I think I have the pace for that in D2 at Australia. Barring any unexpected incidents, I'd like to finish on a podium place.

[font=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif] Lind of hard to answer as this is my first race with everyone. Im pretty sure it will not be me! One thing ill say is its brilliant to see people buzzing to win and take an active part in a season like this. [/font]

[font=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]2. New teams, new drivers! With the addition of another division to PS4 platform, it has resulted in both leagues being much more equally matched, with that said which team do you think will win the constructors championship and why?[/font]
[font=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif] [/font]
[font=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Again, kind of see the first answer. Racing for Haas in division 2, I'm clearly going to say us! I just hope im not as useless as magnessen compared to Grojean![/font]

[font=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]3. Lets talk about the bigger picture, how are you feeling in terms of where you may finish in the drivers standings. There's a long season ahead of you, but if you had to guess where you would finish what would you say?[/font]
[font=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]For me its about progression. I will break the season down into 4 segments and just try to do better continually.[/font]

[font=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]4. Finally back to the race, where are you aiming to finish in the race? And where are you aiming to qualify?[/font]
[font=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Im aiming to finish! [/font]

 

[xjari-075]

D2
1. army, tom and v5hrl

2.  I will go for mclaren,because i have got fate in my teammate.

3. I hope i will finish top 3

4. Top 3 for both

 

[Macca]

At Friday 7pm (UK time) there will be official practice. D1 will be hosted by Mich, D2 will be hosted by Macca

 

[KillerBlue195]

1. Deki for the win, Jume second and Smithy third

2. It’s a really tough one but I think it’s hard to look past Michemery and Carre. Although Red Bull and Ferrari are very strong as well

3. I feel more optimistic about this season than last but the league is so strong and so close I’m just looking to enjoy the races. If I manage to get into the top six at the end of the season I’d be delighted

4. Not a clue. I really couldn’t guess where I’ll finish

As we enter the first race of the season 15, its evident some drivers haven't shown their true pace, and with surprises being a common occurrence at the opening race it seems a fitting to ask who you think the will be standing on the podium, come the chequered flag.

I'll go with 1st-mich 2nd-neyo 3rd-Deki

New teams, new drivers! With the addition of another division to PS4 platform, it has resulted in both leagues being much more equally matched, with that said which team do you think will win the constructors championship and why?

The obvious choice would be mercedes with mich and carre being fast and reliable. Honourable mention to redbull as well.

Lets talk about the bigger picture, how are you feeling in terms of where you may finish in the drivers standings.

Hard to guess but top 10 will be the aim. Connection issues will be my downfall this season like the secing half of last season.

Finally back to the race, where are you aiming to finish in the race? And where are you aiming to qualify?

Again top 10 is the aim and top 8 for the race.
