Specially with tires having such an effect on PP. Can't see how it would work in endurance races, specially with more than a tire option. What PP would be calculated? With tires you start the race? With the softest tires in your garage? But you may not even use the softest option. Also the less grip, harder tire, usually isn't a disadvantage in endurance, it's the other way around.
Exactly. All they need is a nice balance. And I mean we pretty much had 1 Daily Race that was a single Spec Car, 1 Tuning Race and 1 BoP Race which frankly is the way for it to be.
Daily Race C is going to be a BoP option.
Go check most of the streamers and you'll see this isn't the case. They are relying on the community to help them tune and most "very good drivers" are going to do the same either through places like this or straight Google searches. Look what happens on GTS when tuning races came up, everybody reporting how well they did and thanking whoever they got the tune off. What is the point of tuning if everyone is basically going to be using the same one? The fact that it seems people are going to the Meta cars too just makes this idea ridiculous. We are going to have less diversity in this game than in GTS.
Based on what they have given so far, that seems to be the case one race with tuned specific car pick. One with full tune with PP limits and the third will be BoP(But BoP seemed like they still have a little work to do Because of a tuning exploit) but seems to me thats what we are gonna have. One of each of those flavors.
That's the best idea I've heard. Tuners can tune and non tuners get no idea what the days race is (preferably at least 2) just grab a car and go.
Thanks but I was already aware of the tuning section. Others aren’t though.
There are dozens, possibly hundreds of people that devote immense amounts of time to tuning setups that then post them, many even take requests and tune cars based on time-sensitive events. The above link has their "garages" listed, and those are just the ones on gtplanet. The number of "tunes" is fairly low right now, but in a month you'll be able to find 5-6 different tunes, at different PP, even for specific tracks for every single car in the game.
Praiano's has been a mainstay in the tuning scene for over a decade, that would be my first stop if looking but there are many other very talented tuners that post their stuff as well. The copying of the top tuner's setups has very much been a thing in the franchise going back to the inception of gtplanet, possibly even further back than that. Millions of people do it, so no, it's not some pipe-dream, pie-in-the-sky idea, lol
Nah, it's part of the game and always has been. I'm not a fan of BoP races as everyone ends up using whatever car puts up the quickest qualifying laps, and kind of made GT Sport a bore for me.
Apart from GT Sport then, “always”. And the argument about everyone going for same meta car in BoP situations doesn’t carry much weight as the same logic applies even when tuning and setups are a factor. Not like meta tunes are some kind of myth.
I don’t wanna sound disrespectful or anything, but I think both reasons you mentioned why tuning is problematic for some people are invalid.
It's just what I've been told by a league owner.
Have you seen Race C? 18 R8’s all using the same tune. This will happen in every single daily race with open tuning.
It's not really about 'casual', to be honest. It's that tuning doesn't really add any depth to the game. It would be one thing if there was no feasible way to share tunes, such that there was a genuine skill in tuning your car, but because there is and because the vast majority of people are just going to find out what the meta car is and combine it with a meta tune all it ends up being is busywork. And aside from this being pointless, it also clearly leads to less diverse and less balanced car lineups.
But, that argument means there should ONLY BE tuning races, as those who don't care/know can just download/use the 'meta tune' and those who do know will tune their own car.....
