Late night boredom has struck... đź’ˇ

Hypothetically... Assuming you could orchestrate it, what would the result be, of 'n' amount of X1's on *Motegi, which were all spread out evenly across the entire track, stretching the entire distance around the oval, so that the 'first' car in line, was able to draft the 'last' car in line?

*Daytona was my first option, but then I realized 16 cars probably wasn't enough to cover the ground required.
 
Lol, I've thought about the same thing.

Answer is that there is still drag, and although the top speed will be higher, there is still a limit on how fast the car will go.
 
You would create a vortex that would spawn a super storm like on the movie "The Day After Tomorrow".:odd:

I wonder if it would work at Daytona with boost and slipstream on high.
 
I think this is very interesting, as I believe this would work if the X1 could take the corners at any speed.

With the right set up, it does appear that there is an infinite amount of speed/acceleration in the X1 when drafting another X1, hence why there are speeds of over 700mph being achieved on SSRX. The only thing stopping the speeds from going higher are the banked curves. Up until then, there is no difference in acceleration at all, whether you're about to hit 350mph or 720mph. Obviously then, this is a bit of a glitch.

If the X1 could get around the Motegi corners, then I definitely think that they would just keep accelerating continously, although it would take a lot longer since it's a much smaller circuit.

Also to note, that one X1 can pick up draft from another X1 from just over 150 meters away - infact, you can still catch the tail end of the draft when someone's name tag has fully disappeared on SSRX. The Motegi oval is 2413 meters in length (correct me if I'm wrong). 2413m/16 cars = 150.8m distance between the cars to link them up. So in theory, it could work. In reality, it won't :sly:

However, at some point they would run out of gearing/rpm & peak.

So thats how it happened... :dopey:
 
This drafting situation is very unrealistic in GT5. In reality you can't just move from one tow to another and get some super slipstream multiplier effect as you do in GT5, it would remain pretty much the same.
 
The track would collapse on itself as the cars reached Mach 5, then a tiny puff of smoke would come out of your PS3.

Mach 5...3500ish mph...more than a puff of smoke would come out of your ps3. It would spontaneously combust creating a shock wave with the force of an atomic bomb

I was under the impression that once a large group of cars were going an extremely high rate of speed in circles, it would spawn a large wormhole in the middle of the track sucking up everything..Then - we would have unlimited Illuminati conspiracy theorys on YouTube!đź’ˇ

They would need to be going in triangles, surely? Those Illuminati conspiricy nuts sure do love triangles.
 
It would create a wormhole from which all the Porsche s from Forza and Need For Speed would escape into, emerging into a GT5 utopia:sly::sly:

Either that, or GT5 physics engine would escape into Forza:grumpy::grumpy:

Haha i remember when i used to watch Nascar and it would be raining on a short track, the commentators would talk about going fast enough to create a vortex that would make a hole in the clouds big enough for the race track. Never happened though lol
 
@OP I guess it would work but to me...

Also there's at least two triangles in each letter...

Not to mention, Z (Kaz) can be found in a triangle under certain circumstances, if I remember correctly it's a alternate angle triangle. (to try and remember my maths lessons :S) The outside angle is equal to the opposite angles on the inside. And there we have it, maths 101 with Blah Blah Blah!
 
Let me make sure I understand all of this...
Someone talks about the possibility of infinite draft, and it leads to us deciding that Kaz is part of the illuminati...cool :dopey:
