With my title challenge hanging by a thread after yet another engine failure at the last round, I needed a good race here. The main aim was to minimise the damage – Valencia has not been an especially happy hunting ground – and I was not confident of victory. Practice and qualifying took place over […]
Argh! This race is supposed to be a good for me. I can fly round Hungary, winning here quite easy, and I had considered victory here on this occasion to be a formality. Big mistake. I was comfortably on pole and during the race had built up a commanding lead come my first stop on […]
Hot on the heels of the British Grand Prix comes the German Grand Prix! This was a much better race for me, a race I controlled comfortably from start to finish, qualifying on pole and from there, pulling away from the pack reasonably quickly, despite being on hard tyres for most of the race. I […]
Having left Turkey 15 points down on Jensen Button, I came to Silverstone filled with trepidation. This track (admittedly not quite as per the image above) has not been kind to me on racing games, and I saw no reason to believe this trend would end as I began the British GP race weekend. Practice […]
Hot on the heels of Monaco comes Turkey! I quite like this track and I dare say it could a welcome addition to the sport, if other tracks withdraw. The circuit is fast, punctuated by some pretty meaty corners ( like turns 4 and 5, turn 7 and the challenging turn 12), and Turkey also […]
It’s been a while since one of these, and it’s been a little while since I played through this race! Once again, Monaco provided a challenge, and once again I was unable to get through it without a few bumps along the way. Pole was earned easily enough, and I got a decent start, getting […]
Hot on the heels of Bahrain came Spain, with another routine race (ultimately a comfortable win), albeit I risked everything by not paying attention and setting a potentially disastrous pit stop strategy! Having qualified on pole, I misread the number of laps as 55, and set myself up for a two-stop strategy (two long stints […]
After a Chinese GP that was frankly, an exercise in damage control, Bahrain was up next and I needed it to be a better all-round race. Practice and qualifying were uneventful – I took pole, and would lead the race from the start, through to the first round of stops. Upon my first stop, I […]
So, having had something of a hiatus away from my F1 career, I thought I would finally revisit it, as the exhilarating Hungarian Grand Prix the other week reignited my desire to play the game. The story of the season so far is – no points from Australia (engine failure ruined an almost certain victory), […]
I’ve always enjoyed strategy games. Four X games (expand, explore, exploit, exterminate) can come in many flavours, ranging from fantasy settings (Warcraft) to historical games (Total War) and settings based on established genres (Star Wars: Empire at War and Star Trek: Birth of the Federation). One of my favourite all-time strategy games is Master of […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
Ever since I was a cub, I have generally speaking been fond of swimming. I don’t do it often, but when I do, I enjoy it. I consider myself a reasonably confident swimmer, and I have few qualms about going out into the sea when at the beach (well, when I’m somewhere warm, with clear […]
