I really want an Axis reader to win this! This is one fantastic online competition from Philips and Williams F1:
The Prize, a couple of days at the Philips Driving Academy driving Caterhams, Palmers and Formula Jaguars.
If you cut it then you get to drive five laps in a Williams F1 car. Let's see you make fun of Kazuki Nakajima after that! (did I mention this would be in November...in the UK?)
Enter the competition and read all the details HERE
Have started practicing. Time so far VERY average I'm sure - two goes and down to a 1.46. Need to work harder on the shifts. My tip (to be tried when a colleague arrives at the office) is that two people (one steering, one shifting) will improve things).

my best was a 1:20. I have another 5 seconds in my I know it. It is all about soft eyes. you need to look at nothing and see everything. I know I could do this if given the chance.

I'm having no luck and my gear changes always jump in 2's so I only have 1st, 3rd, 5th.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else having similar issue?
Stig
@ stig, I am having the same problem.
ReplyDelete"Let's see you make fun of Kazuki Nakajima after that!"
ReplyDeleteThat's why I never talk bad about any F1 driver, because the times all 20 drivers post are incredible. And Nakajima has completed a lot of races this season, I doubt I could do two laps.
Found out the gears work fine in IE but not in Firefox. Down to a 1.20 first time in IE.

OK, 1.17.20 is the best I'm going to manage this evening. Can anyone find the T&C's? I'm keen to see if actual game time is the main competition enrty mechanic or just a tool used to keep people engaged with the site but the actual winners are random pick or something?
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to this AC. Gives me a chance to dream that I might actually drive an F1 car (that same recurring dream I've been having for 30+ years ;-)
Stig
My best time 1.12.20
ReplyDeleteIs anybody faster?
That looks like a fantastic time to me. I didn't get any more time to try so am hoping that actual times aren't the only factor determining the shortlist (secretly hoping they Google names and somehow see I can steer a real race car :-)
ReplyDeleteBut 1.12.20 sounds great so good luck.
in T&Cs is written that the 10 fastest will win.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that 1.12.20 can be topped because my time was not 100% without mistakes.
that's awesome, I have to say, on my macbook it's almost impossible to play, good luck guys, send us a postcard if you get in!
