Reverse layout perhaps. Regular layout a no.

Reverse layout is horrible

No it's not...

Reverse layout perhaps. Regular layout a no.

Why?

 

[Furinkazen]

Regular layout is highly over rated. Also there's only 1 line through turn 1. Start with a proper chicane and hairpin combo.

I'm pretty sure there's only 1 preferred line through turn 1 in every track.

Agreed, unless we're talking about Superspeedway ovals.

Speak for yourself.

I could name loads off of the top of my head.

Example: Tsukuba, you can take the karting line, brake late and stay out wide then cut in about 3/4 of the way around, sacrificing entry speed for exit speed, or you can cut in normally and hug the apex, using oversteer to point you out of the exit. Both can be highly affective.

If you were trying to drive tsukuba, would you drive both lines? Notice one line is a karting line. Different cars might take different lines through the same corner. Each car has a particular line that it preferred.

It's called "The Karting Line" because it is the main line used by go karts, not because only karts use it.

Both lines are just as effective as the other. (Although, the normal line in a go kart is slower because of the lack of torque.)

I am just saying Furi is right in the fact there is only one line through there without going into the grass/wall which makes overtaking impossibru.

Is it a rule that every turn 1 has to be able for people to pass?

16 TOCA drivers don't give ya a load of room a lot of the time. Trial Reverse starts with a chicane, widens, nice wide downhill right. Also get the final turn right or you get stacked into the wall.

I would think we could handle it. Of we can handle Madrid, we can definitely handle trial mountain.

Madrid. Just nooo.... Same for Tsukuba and Eiger (which was considered in reverse form)

If trial mountain isn't an option then why was autumn ring chosen for this season?

Trial Mountain FORWARD layout is not. Autumn Ring was more like a classic touring car track.

There's parts of autumn ring that shouldn't be taken 2 wide.

 

[Furinkazen]

There's parts of every track that shouldn;t be.

 

[Jahgee]

Well, that happens on real tracks too.

EDIT: Furi'd , also nice Pacific Rim avatar

My point exactly.

 

[Furinkazen]

Another point. Next season see's a freeing up of turbo restrictions. Low, Mid, and High RPM turbo's will be permitted. Mid RPM turbo's offer more peak torque in most cars than High RPM turbo's.

[Furinkazen]

Sound a decent idea then? Turbo War!

 

[Jahgee]

So feasibly we could run different turbos depending on the track, right?

Correct. Unless your in a car like Audi / Infiniti which is N/A.

 

[Jahgee]

OK, well that makes tuning track by track more interesting

 

[Furinkazen]

Qualifying and race systems are all to stay same. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Car reveal #4 & 5? 💡

 

[chrisjohnson93]

i think that may be

Furi logic.

 

[Furinkazen]

Common consensus more like. DK remembers Madrid...
