problem is that qualy is pretty bugged... what do we do if one or two drivers get stuck or get blackscreen?

restart? leave them out? also how would we do if ad race together?
 
Once qualy starts we can check that everyone is on track (If someone is not he can chat it) and then we can go to do a flying lap leaving distance between each other (so I'd say to set 12 min qualy)
 
I have just had a run with GP . and when trying to leave room for car behind to pass is impossible to do it safely.
its such a a fast narrow and twisty track that the only place a car can make space for a passing car without risking crashing is the very long straight near the end , as its quite flat and straight . I know that we have had some issues at other races where cars overtaking have claimed that not enough room has been left for the car overtaking , but here to do that you put yourself at huge risk by moving over , so i thought i would make this point as if everyone agrees then its totally up to the overtaking car to risk overtaking and due to the nature of the track , he wont get any space given even when alongside the car he is passing . what do others think ?

I think you have valid points that should not be dismissed so eaisly. It's tough racing on this track while looking just ahead of you.... I for one agree that the overtaking car had best be absolutely sure the pass can be made before attempting to do so..

Hopefully we can all atleats have 1 car to battle with or it's going to feel like 8 Time Trial laps instead of a race.
 
As suggested above: I'd do the practise / qualy / mode, might even be with confirms from drivers that they are in qualy, but I'd set the qualy mode to "race alone" as suggested by flanked. Basically we'd do a practise only for perf checks, then qualy approx 10 minutes and then we can do a 9 lap race.

if you just have it as practice / race , can you just set it up at 6.25 and people can join when they arrive and start their laps, and then just start the race at 7.05 ? thats way peope who get on early will have more time , and the latecommers will just have to do what they can ?
 
Well I managed a 9 00 5 so far , just done about 4 laps here so im not doing too bad

Hopefully can qualy well and just follow gp all race

Never used the "race alone" options in qualy online... basically when qualy begins everyone is alone and the times are considered for starting grid... am I correct?

EDIT: just saw the description in game ... basically everyone is invisible to each other during qualify.... pretty cool! (if it works :D)
 
the bug i meant is that after the qualy, after the grid animation is shown many drivers get stuck at countdown, or end on track with glitches like skeng had, or as it happened to me, getting on track eith a standing cars that can't move and is solid to all drivers.....

if you want to risk qualy like that we should have a way to have a restart everything.

if something like that happens, we would waste WAY more time than usual to reform grid and restart....
 
Back home now although feeling pretty rough - Great weekend tho, Newcastle was a lot if fun :cheers:

A lot of posts since I've been away, some I agree with some maybe not.

If quali has all cars on track it cause issues so I like the 'ghost' option.....
 
Ok i thougt about it a lot and we'll do like this:

We'll have a 10 mins qualy with ghost option. All take note of your position!

If the game bugs out at start for any driver we'll red flag race and restart with a manual grid, driver will just type "red flag" in the first seconds of the race. If there's a red flag replay will be saved and if someone abused it will get a race ban; so do not use it in case you have a bad start lol.

Btw the first corner is dangerous and should not considered as an overtake opportunity in first lap. Do not rear end others and don't send them to the wall :P

If you happen to send someone out in such a track you are strongly expected to give him safely back the position. If someone takes a turn on your inside is usually better to let him through.
 
I've been asked about nuimber of laps; as i always said it's 8 laps. Compatible with usual race time, allows to end at a decend houir even if we have a red flag and would be ok in future seasons in case of bad weather for not having a 2hours race.
 
I think qualy should be 11 mins , gives people a little time to spread out

At 8 laps this race does seem shorter than the others we have had
 
72 minutes if you can lap 8x9 as medium each lap with no traffic no pits and not slowing down due to sunset or tires bug...

Certainly not my pace lol my best was a 9:04...
 
This track worse than I remember, 2 laps and I'm sick of it.
Sorry half a lap, the cars so dam hard.
It's bumping up and down like a yoyo.

I'll be lucky to do 3 laps round it tonight, just tested.
And 1 lap my hands are sweating, second lap gripping the pad was becoming hard.
 
i'll admit the track is worse on GT6 but it's still the love of my life lool. when i die i want a funeral car to drive my coffin around the track, fast LMAO XD
with race alone option, it allows people to cut corners

First times around it while racing aggressively make you sweat... You should just try to get the flow of it and not being to aggressive on any corner.

At first i tried to tackle the track in ninja like mode, but the zen master mode seems way more effective lol
 
Hey, is there anymore open spaces left?
I think there's 2 spots free. Are you joining us for the remainder of the season?

I recommend you to leave space to drivers and avoid all contacts, expecially on this round.

Free cars should be 1 brz and 1 garaya. Read well opening posts! And send me friend request asap or you won't be able to join room.

Do you have experience on online races? (Asking this just to a have a clue about you no preconcept or hate torward the newcomers lol. We're all friendly as long there's no crashess)
 
Note that the BRZ GT300 Base Model is now 325bhp/330hp unlike what is written on the main thread page
