time penalties in seasonals

[Doth1s]

Can you discuss an idea without reducing people to slogans?

They're Grrreat!

Seriously though, it took me off guard the first time I got one, but you just adjust and keep moving. It is better than a stop and start, and the timer could be for much longer.

That is flaky, with sugar on top. I hear your Snap, Crackle, Pop, and I just want to drawn you in two/thirds cup of milk.

This type of abject, cereal posting is as frothing as a pound of brand.

Hey Doth, Lego My Eggo!

Haven't seen the delays yet though.

I don't mind the penalties, but they need to sort out the edge of the track in some place. On the first Sarthe chicane I barely put two tyres on the kerb and got penalised!

^This^ +1

f1 rules 19.2 Drivers must use the track at all times. For the avoidance of doubt the white lines defining the track edges
are considered to be part of the track but the kerbs are not.
A driver will be judged to have left the track if no part of the car remains in contact with the track.
Should a car leave the track for any reason the driver may rejoin. However, this may only be done when it
is safe to do so and without gaining any advantage.
Also if u pass someone by going offtrack but give the place back i have never seen a penalty given.
Nor penalties given for going into the sand by accident!! Like i said before,,,best would be a warning 1st time then time penalty.

If they're going for realism there should be a qualifying component so that you're not ALWAYS starting from the back. They also need to improve the AI so that if another car rams you and pushes you into the "shortcut zone" you don't get a shortcut penalty.

In short, the concept is far from perfect, and needs fixing.

Agreed!
Why not add the 5 second penalty on at the end?
It would make people less certain of the win and more likely tp go for it etc. etc.
Cutting corners, in tin top racing. Generally a driver seems to me to get away with it twice, it's the third time when he ( and for the benefit of p.c. /she) seems to get the penalty! In F1 it seems quite similar, unless it's blatant so i don't see how they can justify it on a game really!


BTW Ryk, cutting and no, not corners have you ever dealt with these people? )

Yea, this is a great idea, it is much better than slow you down while chasing the rabbit:tup:
