yes for weather


This is the quality
i was also planning on doing a highlights like this

but not as detailed
 
Guys honestly all these various ideas and suggestions has really confused me and more or less really annoyed me .

I think you guys had a good formula as is , the only thing which needed fine tuning was the car specs ( just a tiny bit ) which i was willing to help with .

Apart from that all we need to do is pick tracks and decide on if we should drop rounds or not .

I think we are taking the suggestions way too far and it has sidetracked us from what is really important .

I will leave the decisions up to the guys who run this but i just wanted to share my opinion .
 
i understand where your coming from can we get a test event where every one who wants to race is there. we can the sort out things like car specs and test things like night racing and weather

Agreed with what you say but do you class weather and other little add ons as to much?

Trying to reinvent the wheel yeah lol.

cyber link power director 10 it cheaper at 50 pounds compared to £110+
i would have brought it software for students sold vegas or adobe but power director 10 looks pretty good

is making wheels rounder re inventing it

Never used that. I used to do video editing but lacked a capture card so I couldn't use my own footage.

Lol I'm generally outspoken and anger people so I ain't commenting on season 2 now cept for the votes.
 
Weather is fine , im talking the pp system and time trial systems etc , i understand some of it is ideas for other possible series but lets jus keep it simple for this series .

The guys who organize it got enough work as it is
 
My Time Trial idea is for car selection process to help even out the field. Some guys even with ballast are a lot faster than others. That turns people away when they don't stand a chance at placing good. So what I proposed was people test the cars they want, get the one their comfortable with, do a 5 lap TT race. And slowest to fastest gets to pick their car. But in order to make it fair there are points handed out with the fastest guy getting the most points and the slowest getting the least (but he picks first).
 
If all the cars are specd right then it wouldnt matter which car you drive/choose .
 
precisely but we need to test it and when i asked in the weekend just gone no one replied
i've hepl run series before and if people arnt willing to to help test stuff then allot of it falls flat on its face
 
What don't you get, guy? The cars aren't ever going to be equal because the people who drive them aren't equal. That's why we should leave the cars as they are and do a draft system. The TT system works just fine. Because if you do a 1:40 at Tokyo while someone else only does a 1:42 but you both use the Lexus, who says the cars are equal? You're claiming the Celica needs more power but you did just fine in it. I think the only thing that should be changed with any car is maybe a weight drop of 10kg for the Celica and Standard Subaru.
 
You can never even a race out imo. Take skeng for instance, he will always be faster than me in the Celice. People just have to come to terms with how fast they are and enjoy the races for what they are, fun. I've made plenty of mistakes in races this season and don't just quit, the only time I quit was when I got dc'd.

Unless we get a group of people that don't mind finishing last to mid-pack then we will always struggle to keep numbers up. And no matter how the specs are changed this will always be the case.
 
You give someone the car they prefer when they're slow at least they get their car that they are fastest in. With ballast penalties they may stand a chance. But when you have the same 3 guys finishing first every race with cars they're already fast in it aint going to be sustainable.
 
how about this we aim to get the difference in quali from first to last to maximum of 1.5 seconds
ive come up with a way but every one will have to turn up earlier to the race.
we first start of by doing a quali period like the current setup we then all come to the lobby an hour or two early if possible we then up the slower guys performance by reducing weight and increasing power and re qualify if we do test it enough we will get them within the mid speed guys
im online now so we could get a few things done so if any one wants to join they can join me

I think we need to stop making ideas up.

Change a few of the regs that were planned last season, get the votes for the important stuff out of the way and get racing.

Edit - The only thing that isn't hard to implement would be to add ballast and take away power for the winners. Pus make the ballast go on further down the list instead of just the top 3.
 
Who's making up ideas? People calling for changes to car specs, that's making up ideas too. So why change anything then if you don't want to make up ideas?

I think the TT system for CAR SELECTION PROCESS ONLY is a good idea and can be implemented immediately. You only have to do the same thing everyone did last season for qualifying except anyone can use the car of their choice.
 
Car specs were already talked about in the season and a few cars needed tweaking, we don't need a massive overhaul like all the ideas flying about suggest.
 
I never suggested they did. So when you reply to me, speak what I have said, not a thousand things others suggest. That's courtesy when you talk with someone, is it not? I just said what I think needs to be done. Standard Subaru and Celica get 10kg-20kg in weight loss and that's it.

I was talking about your idea, the qualifying one. Seeing as you seem to have an attitude problem i'll put it bluntly, i think it's a terrible idea and it won't work.
 
The pp system is a good idea, but we had a good series and I fell like Skeng on this one, we only needed minor changes. Alefin has quit is foundership because of all the ideas, fighting, and other things that went on behind op closed doors. Slow guys which I was and sometimes still am will simply have to find speed like I had to do did.

Weather Change 👎

Seems like you're selfish. You THINK I have an attitude problem, but I assure you that you're wrong. You down other peoples ideas but don't have any of your own to share.

So what do you propose we do about people who are slower and don't get to race towards the front? Give them the last choice in car selection(the two words you seem to be missing me saying) so they can languish at the rear more? Instead of poking fun at a Time Trial car selection, maybe you could come up with something better. You probably won't though because you don't seem to like 'ideas'. :dunce:
 
I think the series is good enough how it is other than the little tweak to specs. The only thing i did suggest was to add a hp drop along with the ballast.
 
You didn't answer my question. What do you suggest about a car selection process? Or are we going to have 8 guys wanting the Lexus again?
 
I think the plan was for 3 car teams which should work well i think . I guess a minimum pf 5 teams which is 15 drivers .
