SIGN ME UP!


Edit: Livery: Jancon Mobile #21

Sign me up to this bad boy! I will decide a livery later on after I've had a look at all of them.

Mind if I add a suggestion or two?

1) "React to the green lights, don't anticipate them. Time penalties will be handed out after the race to people who jump start" - Recently, Apex Stalkers had a big debate about this and the conclusion was that lag plays a big part in the lights phase. Yes, the lights are at a set time so it is very easy to anticipate the green...but occasionally on 'Driver As' screen 'Driver B' gets a jumpstart, but on 'Driver Bs' screen they hit the green perfectly. After looking at replays the conclusion was both reacted to the green light but lag made it look different on each screen.
The logical conclusion was that, if you did get a jump start but the game didn't penalise you (which happens quite often) then you should slow down and act like a gentleman and not profit from it. Pretty much the same as how we treat crashes and take outs when racing.

2) Instead of adding a mandatory pit window (which would be difficult to police), how about playing around with the tyre wear and fuel usage? Increase either one or both would ensure everyone absolutely has to pit or they would simply get a DNF. Much better solution IMO and also adds a huge level of strategy in when to pit and how you set up your car.

EDIT: Just to clarify, but when you say "starting time: 2pm" that is in game right?

Good suggestions, I hadn't accounted for lag yet so a gentlemen agreement it is. I'll think about your fuel and tire wear suggestions and in which direction I'd like to go with that exactly. The pit window is hard to police as you say so I'm putting trust in the participants to not cheat and pit outside of the window but I might go with your suggestion and scrap that all together, accelerated tirewear does sound like a fun idea.

I might go the other way round on that one. Controlling a car on worn tires is quite a fun challenge and making them last could be crucial factor in winning a race especially when considering the random weather element that some races present. It wouldn't be unthinkable that the leader pits for fresh tires one lap before it starts to rain and someone lower down the field who conserved his tires better now only has to stop for wet weather tires thus gaining the lead whereas the leader has to come in again and change to wet weather tires. I think scenarios like that could bring in a good tactical element and a need to manage your tires.

Unfortunately I won't be available for July/August due to holidays, but if possible sign me up as a reserve for the second half of the championship, I can't miss the last race in my Monza.
