Multi-Class Endurance Championship Season Four

Too busy with covfefe I see.

Maybe take the time to practice with the setup then?

What would happen if the car as a whole goes against your normal driving style? Muscle class is a great example of GT1 car choice being very important in driver performance, since the top cars of that class, and even in groups of cars farther down the list, will severely change how drivers do just because of the major differences in the cars' handling characteristics.

Wheels were completely restricted in MCEC S3, and that worked out decently enough. There's no reason to not restrict the rest of the modification options when evidence shows that they can change how a car performs or handles.

Why not both? I cant make a Coquette drive like a Blade of course, but I can put some different tires that make it feel good for me.

I think about it like eSports. The things that usually make an esport popular (LoL, Csgo, Dota, Starcraft) are when the players can have a style that is unique to them, whether it be the way they use a strategy, use a specific skill or weapon.

In racing, drivers are different in the way they take corners usually. If you look at some Vods from top drivers here, there are big differences in the way they go about that, the biggest thing would be aggressive late braking like Serenniel does - that doesn't work for me. But taking corners smooth like Darn does works for me. Setups help allow drivers to HAVE different styles, which is where different skills and proficiencies draw out the differences between drivers themselves, which is what makes for great racing when these things are different, so that each driver can be at their best.

On top of all that in-race reasons to allow mods, the logistics of deciding which mods are allowed would be a nightmare with 30 something different cars throughout the event, and we would have to go through and verify all modifications onn the starting grid each race (not in the prelobby, someone could buy two cars and pick a different one).

Filled the form
I am hyped for this, really did not see it coming

Ignore my response to the form. I'd be happy to do pit watching or anything else like that in the main championship. (on xbox one) Broughy1322

100% agree! But I don't feel that MCEC is the event for that kind of thing. You're given a car, given a track, and plopped down into your class to race against people.

It comes down to what kind of "pure racing experience" you'd like to have.

Personally, I'd prefer a wide open multi-class style with each GT consisting of 3-4 car choices for each race. That's not appropriate for this event, so I didn't make that suggestion. The way MCEC was headed in S3 was pointing towards a full "locked in setup" for each car anyways, with being forced into using mods that had "race" or some variant in the name to give it more of a racing event feel.

Having a completely locked down, closed class setup like this just takes it the final step to giving every driver a level playing field for the race.

The mark of a great driver isn't that they're fast, its that they can adapt to the situation and still prevail. If you end up not being able to do that with a locked setup, you may need to reevaluate how well you think you're doing.

Note - this last isn't directed at anyone specific, just in general. It's something I personally had to come to terms with when I decided to build my car setups based on looks instead of performance.
