If we get a good amount of people on a practice night we will test rolling starts. If we don't, I will test it on the first race of the new season. Please let me know your thoughts on the subject.

 

[Nick Cannella]

My preference would be rolling starts.

 

[TexasJDC]

Either way doesnt bother me whatever you guys think is best

 

[DesertPenguin]

One downside of rolling starts is that some may be in the middle of the last turn when it goes green and therefore at a huge disadvantage to those that can floor it at the green. It's why the start line was moved up at Le Mans in the real world

 

[PApunk924]

The rolling starts could reduce a lot of hurt feelings during the first 2-3 turns.

 

[Herimopp89]

Exactly why it was brought up

 

[PApunk924]

At the same rate a rolling start eliminates the advantage of a good launch.

 

[Herimopp89]

I will take a good pass rather then a good launch and havoc in turn 1-5

I'll understand if the answer is no, but might there be room for a spectator? I'm interested in this group, but have been wanting to see it in action for some time.

If theres room before the racing starts I'll let you know you can hop in.

I've heard there are still glitches with rolling starts. What do you guys know about that?

 

[Herimopp89]

I haven't had any in a while we do them for the snail endurance and haven't had them in a while

Thanks.

Regarding your question, I haven't had issues with rolling starts for a few months now. I did have to switch to grid start back in September, but after a while, that started glitching out as well.

 

[Nick Cannella]

I’m good with whatever is decided on starts.
@Satomiblood its good to see you interested in this series. I hope you decide to join. I’ve always enjoyed racing against you.

 

[DesertPenguin]

It sounds like the pros outweigh the cons. We will do a rolling start for Race 1 and see how it goes.

Me and Rinsky solved the rolling start glitch problem. It all started with the patch that added Sainte Croix. If you had any saved lobby settings with rolling starts prior to the patch, they would glitch. You had to delete and remake/save them for it to work properly.

 

[Jw_wk1010]

Only guys u are penalizing on rolling starts is your title guys with them always having to start in the back vs the grid start those guys typically start well and are able to make up a lot of ground quickly

 

[DesertPenguin]

I feel that increasing the race time should even that out to give more race time to get through the field?

 

[Jw_wk1010]

Damage being off is a reason for all that carnage we don't have near the issues with it in damage leagues because people can't go flying off into turn 1 without ruining there race it causes people to have to be patient

 

[Jw_wk1010]

Agreed that was just my thought on changing it if people were a little more patient it wouldn't be an issue neutty and I went through turn one and the double apex without beating on anyone and we're still first and second

 

[Jw_wk1010]

It's a good league I just don't want to see it go arcade where the race craft is taken completely out of the start all because people don't want to use there brake and just barrel through people especially if it becomes a case where it is the same guy over and over

 

[Nick Cannella]

Heavy damage in this series would be very interesting to try as it might calm down some of the carnage that has taken place.
I’ll be the first to say that I’ve dished some out, but I have also received far more than my fair share in the 12 races I participated in last season. There was a lot of bumping and banging.
I was most likely the cause of @Clean Racer bailing out on the last race of last night because I got into the back of him. I’m not sure if I was hit from behind, but I know I ruined someone else’s race so I slowed down to give position back, and then felt really terrible when he left mid race.
Maybe running heavy damage with the standing start might be a good way to go.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Triple post!!!

This isn't an issue and I know the incidents we've had so far are just incidents of driver error. Mostly down to lack of practice or skill levels and that's something that can be improved .If someone is blatantly dove bombing we'd know and take immediate action.

It’s also been a disregard for giving positions back as well.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Also guys, I said we'll try it for one race. I haven't fully decided yet

 

[DesertPenguin]

It’s also been a disregard for giving positions back as well.

I always tell everyone to report these things to me and no one has. If you do I can better keep track of it and enforce some kind of penalty. Be vigilant about it.

A good rule of thumb is that if someone ahead of you needs to concede just flash your lights on them once.

Your were told about

Which is a second on going known issue not being dealt with

 

[Nick Cannella]

If we are going to try then we need to set up a night prior to the start of the season. We can try multiple options as have been mentioned.
I don’t really want the rules to change once the season has started. Not sure how everyone else feels about that.
I’d be willing to set up a lobby to practice if we can get 6-8 drivers to participate

 

[DesertPenguin]

I repeat
