I think you can join every race apart from the events which take place at the Rockingham track.

To join you just have to join the server on time. You can find the password for the server below this chatbox.

F1 has Inaugural Race with BF1 at Blackwood
youliftyoulose, Monday, June 18 2012 - 07:18:11 // comment: 3

The inaugural race with the BF1 in the F1 series took place at Blackwood. 18 drivers showed up to qualify for the opening race
all eager to prove their skills with the formula one car. All but 4 drivers did a 56 second lap or better with the top 4 getting into the 54’s.
Mazdarati took the pole by only 0.01 second over rival Duck Tape with a 54.34. The challenges of this race were the short track and the
bumpy chicane, which can be hard on the suspension as several drivers were to find out.

Torberkel sending Daniel to the pits before the race is only 1 turn old.


Black, Steve and Xnyle all facing the wrong way as they go through the chicane for the 1st time.


Knistling about to send Black into the gravel.


EliteAti about to be passed on both sides by Duck Tape and Antti.


Mazdarati wins the inaugural F1 race.




It didn’t take long for the drivers to tangle. Toberkel, missed his braking point on the run down to T1 for the first time and stuck
his nose under Daniel’s gearbox, sending him airborne and into the guard rail. Both cars returned to the race at the end of the
field. Toberkel was fortunate to have an undamaged car. Daniel was not as lucky and had to make a lengthy unscheduled pit
stop putting him a lap down.

Just up ahead Steve was performing the same maneuver on Black, getting his wing underneath Black’s gearbox and sending him
for a spin. Both cars were making their way through the chicane in single file so the reason for the hard contact was difficult to
understand. Black had to join Daniel in the pits for major repairs in order to continue his race. Xnyle, not prepared for the spin
in front of him, got into the back of Steve and went around himself.

Black was just settling back into a rhythm, hoping to salvage what was left of his race when after making a clean pass on
Knistling down the straight, Knistling somehow missed his braking point and sent Black into the gravel where he had to retire
after only 3 completed laps. Knistling ended up in the gravel as well but was able to extricate his car from the trap and continue,
back in 15th.

DazEd was next to find the gravel. After stopping on the track to avoid a sideways Startbert, he inexplicably chose to turn his
car around by driving into the gravel. A move that sent him to last place by the time he dug himself out.

At the back of the field there were numerous shunts by several of the drivers all bringing out yellows for the leaders to watch
out for. Most drivers chose to do a one stop race with some repairing damage and others taking better care of their car.

Up at the front, Mazdarati lead for most of the race, pulling out a small but comfortable lead over the field.. EliteAti, hanging
on to 2nd for the 1st 8 laps made a small mistake when lapping Xnyle and ended up in the grass. The small off road trip was
costly as Duct Tape, Antti and Bandes all made their move and passed for position. He quickly got one spot back as Bandes
made a slight error at the end of the straight on lap 9. Positions 2 through 5 were hotly contested for much of the race.
EliteAti slowly worked his way back up to 2nd, passing Bandes, Antti and Duck Tape in the process.

Bandes, finally had to lose touch with the front 4 as his right front suspension gave up on lap 48, requiring an extra pit stop.
In his eagerness to get back on the track without loosing too many places, he was caught for speeding in the pits and was
given a drive through penalty. Luckily for him his lead was great enough over Daniel not to cost him another place.

In the end, Mazdarati (1st) lapped the entire field except for EliteAti (2nd), Duck Tape (3rd) and Antti (4th). Daniel fought
hard to regain his original starting spot of 8th after the 1st lap incident sent him to the back of the pack.

Certainly the high powered BF1 separated the men from the boys in this first race.

See you next race with S2 at Fern Bay Gold.
