I made a cruise room on the G Trail.

Please don't join if you are just going to complain about the track.
 
The following post reflects some opinions and suggestions of mine about several club-related stuff.

Firstly, I presume that this club likes to focus on a more realistic side of things? One thing that irks me is just how cops like smashing into anyone at full speed/head on, even for minor stuff. I think it would be more interesting if cops employed more realistic tactics instead of doing maneuvers that would get everyone killed in real life.

Secondly, I've noticed that some cops just seem to do whatever the hell they want and nitpick at everything just to give a ticket. For example, one time a cop was suddenly braking in front of me, in the middle of the road, which prompted me to crash into him. I then accelerated again and, as expected from a RUF with comfort tires (and shameless use of automatic), my wheels released some smoke for about half a second. One minute later the same cop pulls me over to give me a ticket because apparently I did a "burnout". AFAIK, releasing some wheel smoke briefly isn't a crime. And his reckless driving went by unpunished, as he's a cop.

Thirdly, some people seem to like calling out racers ("reporting" them), among other things. I'm fine with that, but taking those reports for granted is just dumb. IMHO a cop should only give a ticket if they've seen the infraction firsthand. An example: me and another cruiser were doing some pulls, and some other driver called us out. Less than a lap later a cop with a Viper crashes into me head on (could've at least tried pulling me over first, and yes I was driving under the limit at that point) and immediately gives me a ticket. Bit unfair, I reckon. About two minutes later the same guy called us out yet again, except this time we weren't even doing anything wrong. If it weren't for mine and someone else's complaining, I'm sure we'd have gotten another ticket. Reports shouldn't be a guaranteed ticket, just more of a reason to keep the reported under more surveillance/suspicion.

Another point. I believe a pursuit should end if the offender crashes too hard against a wall. I sort of agree with the 5 mph rule but it would be better if we had to stay below 5 mph for 3 seconds or so (near a cop of course, and also because someone could go under 5 mph for other reasons like doing a U turn). This is also why I talk about a more realistic approach to pursuits, as getting anyone below 5 mph is easy if you just crash into them head on which almost 100% of the time is unavoidable for the offender, especially if cops are driving both ways on a track. Another thing that would be nice to emulate is when a pursuit is still ongoing after X amount of time, a cop could call for backup and some of the member cruisers in the room would switch to cop and aid.

And finally, about the "Pursuit" kind of lobbies, which I've never seen done yet. I don't see a reason why this mode should be restricted to Sarthe only. I think it would be better if the mode would work on a "last as long as you can" basis, it would be far more fun I believe.

I'm sorry if this post ends up offending anyone, as that is certainly not my objective. I know many of you will think "It's just a video game" but in the end I guess it's safe to say we all want things to be as fun as possible, and these are just some of my ideas.

Just my 2¢.

Although I'm the cop mentioned in this post (yes, I just called myself out) I completely agree with this post. Things need to be a bit more realistic.

I would really like to see a pursuit lobby on the 'Ring... or a pursuit lobby AT ALL...

Agreed. I don't get why it's in the OP if we never do them.

We probably don't do the Ring for cops because it's to long, and narrow.

I think that would be a lot of fun myself 👍

But yeah, the pursuit mode should be "go until you get boxed in". The criteria for busting someone should be harder than in regular cop mode.

EDIT: DIBS ON RUNNER!!!

That post is just begging me to get back on patrol more often. Eventually do some actual training.
I'm still going to be a cruiser/speeder for now on.
