[PC, Archive] meetmypyro's Daily Clean Racing Playlist

I would say you are. The car in front can drive the way (s)he thinks is best, even if the break-point is too early or if (s)he think oversteering through the turn works best for them. As the car in back you're responsible for having enough distance so you can react to scenario's.

I'd advise not breathing down their neck in "their" racing line so close to a corner, give em some space (even if you want to take exactly the same path). Instead take a different line through the apex and try do an overtake during/after the turn. The scenario you just described would have been perfect to take advantage of too, since he was breaking too early = slow through the corner.

To answer your question. Yes, it's your fault in a scenario like that.

EDIT: woops, you guys responded similar quicker cloudmcshort  dondeef

I am not talking about just before the corner, i mean waaaaay before the corner almost like you are being brake tested, cash for crash stylee . Had we been on our way into the corner or even setting up for the corner then obviously i would have moved to the side and tried a different line.

I guess i better keep my distance in future.

It's really nice to have these daily playlist races with many, many people. I think that for the past week there were over 20 people every day. For this reason, I would like to suggest a small change in the playlist setup (mainly directed at meetmypyro). Considering the high amount of crashes and traffic it becomes harder and harder to get a good ending position. This counts especially for shorter races. This is considering we're doing about 10-12 races, each last about 10 minutes. Therefore, I would like to suggest to do fewer, but longer races. This will allow the playing field to get a bit more stretched. There will be other mechanics involved, such as lapping the last car and having more space to do battles/overtakes. The main reason for this suggestion is that around 10 minutes into a race people only start having proper battles mid-pack. Since up until that point the mid-pack tends to be a bit too concentrated, which makes it hard to have proper battles. I would say having 7 or 8 races between 15 and 20 minutes will have a positive impact on semi-competitive racing. This will also allow people that race a certain track for the first time to feel the track for the first couple of laps before flooring it through the proper turns.

Hope we can get a discussion going on this, whether or not it's worth the change and what the advantages and disadvantages would be about this setup.

tl;dr let's do fewer and longer races instead of more shorter races.

If Pyro were to change up the length and have fewer tracks, in my opinion the even semi non-serious tracks would have to be the ones to go. It's hard to get through 10min of most of them, so I certainly wouldn't want 15.

But, it is ultimately up to Pyro because it is his playlist.

Not a bad idea.

"Oh man, if I'd have had just 1 more lap I might have been able to climb x amount of positions, to make up for the "first corner aids" and the guy that accidently rammed me on the second to last lap..."

I've been left with that sort of feeling a few times I'll admit.
