    The Game Thread!

    Grand Prix World is going well for me atm. I'm playing as Williams. I've signed Hakkinen and Coulthard for 1999 and upgraded most of my staff. I'll also have a new factory with my own facilities. I've just finished Hockenheim where Newhouse (Villeneuve, this was when he had is name copyrighted) won and Frentzen finished 4th, a good points haul. Newhouse leads the WDC and I'm second in the WCC. I've got my car sorted for next season, which means all of my development can now focus on winning both titles. I've just upgraded to an automatic gearbox, now I'm working on improving my traction control. I've signed Marrano to be my title sponsor for 1999 (Marlboro, tobacco/alcohol names banned) and have works deals with Ford and Goodyear for next season. I have a partner deal with Elf for fuel which gives me decent R&D priority and a bonus payment, so all my commercial staff are working on cash deals or upgrades to existing deals. PlayStation and Komatsu have already signed up. Overall, it's all going well in the Williams team!

    You've broken our third choice keeper. Broken how? Is he Bradfords keeper? Talking of keepers, anyone hear about what happened at Scunthorpe vs Bristol City? Scunthorpe's first choice broke his arm in the game, so they brought on keeper number two and he broke his arm :o Then they had to put a CB in goal, he didn't brake his arm though o:) Yeah, Pickford is ours.

    It's Ok though, because Phil Jones is taking corners.

    If we did that with Altidore it'd solve our own goals problem :p

    What about? What about what? Uh you said "Defoe in a row against Newcastle" Yeah, Defoe sounds a bit like four and we might be signing him :p  @Platy Lots of different rumours about the price. Most say it's a straight swap for Altidore, which is the best swap ever... Still don't get how he's in a row against Newcastle? Am I being dumb? Yes, we've beaten Newcastle four times in a row :p  Let's put it this way, Defoe once scored more goals in one match than our strikers have in total (this season).

    And then the most popular member wins, even though they might not be suitable for the job. No thanks.  Just because you'll have no chance of winning ;)

    What was his original name? I once wanted mine back too, but I feel like I've grown into this one now :p  It was MastaVonBlasta, I can't remember why he couldn't keep the name or what happened exactly, but I bet @GentleNameMVB‌ can tell you. When we switched to the lithium forums, we needed to use Codemasters accounts - which many of us already had. We couldn't change the name on these so got stuck with them.

    F1 community gone quiet

    I think part of the problem has been the fact we've changed forums so quickly and without warning, it's killed off a lot of the members.

    Patch confirmation?

    There probably isn't going to be a patch judging by this, you've got to remember CM are in a bit of financial trouble atm and are also developing on an early release for 2015.

    I'd like to apply. I've been a member now for coming up 4 years (wow, I feel old now!). In that time, I've become friends with quite a lot of members on here, including Codies staff (I hope...). I'm on here pretty much everyday so would be able to moderate constantly, and through experiences on and off the internet know when someone takes something too far. I'm also a massive motorsport fan and have every F1 game since 2011 (thanks for Race Stars @Hatta!). Lee knows I'm trustworthy too, if he can remember what he told me ;). Also, I'd like to nominate @PeteTheDuck. We've discussed this before in the stuff thread, and Matt's name always comes up. Every member likes him and he's into his motorsport as much as any of us :)

    Apparently we might be swapping Altidore for Defoe, if we pull that off then Lee Congerton is the best sporting director ever! P off Mario http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2905889/Sunderland-f-g-coldest-city-ve-f-g-played-blasts-Liverpool-striker-Mario-Balotelli.html

    With the exception of the Rockingham oval, the national circuit is almost England's NASCAR track!
