so aids? I prefer, but no driving line
Laps? Tire wear? Id like 5 Plus laps no tire wear
Off track grip? I really dont care
Boost? I say no, but if some people start dominating it should be considered.
Also some cars will gain pp as engine breaks in. We can put the settings to 520pp, but do we allow someone to use power limiter if the car jumps up to 521-522pp? Or do they either have to change tune or change car completely?
For the love of god no false start penalty.
I like penalties on for corner cutting. And with that you can't bitch about getting or NOT getting penalty.
I prefer no damage.
Fastest first? I think that's fair.

That said I'm ok with whatever you come up with as long as its clear well before the race.

Inverted start yo, give the underpowered cars a chance. Plus the start line drag race amuses me.

I prefer aid's off except for ABS possibly. Bugs the hell outta me when the game won't let me kick the back end out on my car if I decide I need or want to. Laps I think 5-10 for shorter to mid-length courses, and maybe 2-4 for longer courses (more than 2 or 3 on the Full ring (if its in there) would get tiring lol)

The rest I guess I don't have a major opinion on as long as it's all defined ahead of time so we can practice / tune / prepare for it (same with the tracks).

I think as far as the gaining PP as you break in - adjust the car at that point so it's at or under 520pp, shouldn't be too hard to pull an intake off, reduce some down force or something to get you back under the limit, that's my .02

Good to have some initial numbers to work with, seems i have some work to do I'm at least a few seconds slower at Tsukuba with the two cars I've tried so far. Err were those online times or offline/practice times?

No aids but was running driving line.

-I think we're sticking with no aids at all other than ABS unless the majority has a big issue with it. You shouldn't need aids running Race Tires.

-I think we're shooting for 15 minute races, so laps will change accordingly. I'm ok with no tire wear, but it shouldn't matter for a 15 minute race. Anyone else want tire wear and/or slightly longer races so pit strategy can come into play?

-No power limiter under any circumstances. If engine breaks in, time to take that sports intake manifold off or whatever it might be. I'm sure some of us will be undershooting anyways to compensate for this. Or taking Aero off.

-We aren't doing the false start bs, don't worry. :D

-Penalties will be on for shortcuts and ramming

-Damage will be light, which means it repairs itself.

-Not sure how we'll do the starts. I'm thinking about just flipping a coin for inverted vs. fastest first. :D

This weekend i'll be putting together official votes for tracks and event times. :)





Oh, and we talked about this in the chatbox a few days ago.

Do we still want to allow ONE car switch if the first choice doesn't work out so well? One switch, and one switch only. Once you switch, you are not allowed to switch back to the old car. I would also like to see the "backup car" announced before the beginning of the series.

That all sounds good Ben - Pit strategy and tire wear might be kind of cool but I'm fine either way. I think having one backup car (announced ahead of time) with only one switch allowed would be nice.

I need to spend some time tonight testing out some more cars, so far I've not found one I'm totally happy with, and based on Kyle's times I wouldn't be competitive in either of the two cars I've tried thus-far. At least on Tsukuba

Tsukuba is the wild card in this one. Time attacking that mess is a LOT different than some of the long races. I'd be interested to see how his car does outside of that. That being said, I still have a lot of testing to do. Stupid update.

Generally when I race online I use a different car every race. I would like to be able to change cars... But that doesn't seem to be what others want.

My tsukuba car is amazing. I ran an s4 there last night and was tops in trials in the room, but was still more than a second off my race car time.

Personally, I like the one announced backup car rule. Forces you to think a little more globally. Also, I think the short and long races should be interspersed so you don't have someone like me (And i've thought about this) running a short track hoover machine for grip in the first three races, "Not liking" it and coming up with a car designed to pwn straightaways for the back 3 races.
