Its Race Day!!!
akmuqI recommend penalties to be off and if you see someone cut, report it to drop.
This.
Also, remember, the first chicane won't be part of the track tonight.
In the second chicane, do you consider the concrete part of the track or not? I would lean toward yes, since a giant wall prevents severe corner cutting.
.
homeslice47Seems like there is some gray area here. Even though there is a "wall", if you cut that chicane its still worth an extra 2+/- seconds.
I am personally leaning towards having penalties on just for that corner. Let the computer decide right then and there if you cut it or not. What happens if we accidently blow thru that corner? How can you police that corner during quals?
I have no idea how to declare what is or isn't a legit pole time, hence the reason I was considering leaving the rule for today as pavement equals fair racing surface.
Edit - It's my understanding that the penalty system in GT5 is very inconsistent, and often hands out as many wrongful penalties as it misses legit penalties. I would say for tonight's race, it's probably better that we run without penalties, and with the understanding that a paved surface is fair game.
homeslice47The penalty on will stall your car for about 5 seconds if you blow thru that corner, making your lap time too high to grab the pole.
Right, USE COMMON SENSE.
These are my TOCA guidelines,
General Guide from me on a lap:
As you can see, I try to keep two wheels on track at all times. The outside strips on the exits of the corners allow you to run wide, but if you end up too wide you are in the gravel, so you do noy lose much time.
For me these represent the absolute limit of cornering.
Is common sense not a good enough penalty system. If you feel you gain an unfair advantage take a different line through the corner. That is how I plan to race unless told otherwise
Do we know if the penalty system will catch that specific corner? I know there were issues in GT Academy with blatant corner cutting not registering as a penalty at other tracks. Also, I'm worried about the penalties being unfairly applied to collisions, as I've read that the car at fault isn't always the one that gets penalized.
Bold Statement.Niop win? Every time he wins a road course I get frustrated cause I know I could have beaten him, pity I couldn't make it.
