You guys have any recommendations for better regulations next time I run this? I noticed tonight that the Corvettes seemed to be dominating(and overused). I'd use the Daytona 2.24 regulations, but there way to complicated to work in public lobbies, it's hard enough to get people in the right car. Anyways let me know if you guys are up for this again, I'd be glad to run it. I had fun tonight, I was running in 2nd in the first race, and then a list all grip in my rear tires and came 5th, then my headphones ran out of juice. Ah well, it happens.

 

[grafpt]

I wouldnt be against only allowing 1-2 cars and a certain HP/PP.... Just to make the racing interesting.

 

[nitrorocks]

Yeah the Corvettes and Camaros would pull me down the straights!

 

[Mac K]

My R8 bested them in the infield section, but on the straights they had me. I can also finally see why people hate the new tire wear model, I was lucky to get hard compound tires to last 8 laps last night.. I mean it's great that PD finally realised softs should wear faster than hards, but they messed something up while they were fixing it. Now they just need to "fix" the tire wear and the infamous online bug, and they'll be golden.

Unfortunately people will still complain, or another problem will arise

Ya, but this is a pretty big issue, so they should fix it asap. This isn't the place for this discussion though. Hopefully PD is aware of the issue.

 

[nitrorocks]

I was wondering why I couldn't hoo tire wear as long as before, then I remembered haha.

 

[grafpt]

Should we just take the Peugeot LaMans cars around Daytona?
