[PC, Complete] 2016 Grotti F1 World Championship

My stream was having some issues with frame loss. So the video is really bad to watch Didn´t notice it prior to the race elsewise I could have restarted OBS

I had something similar a few days ago. I have no idea what happened exactly but after alt-tabbing back into the game, my Turismo was handling like a dream : even more responsive and agile than it usually is but no oversteer, awesome traction in the corners, braking on a dime. The game was running smooth as butter and never dropped below my 58 FPS limiter, which usually happens when I drive around. Alt-tabbing in and out again didn't solve the issue. I did a few laps on Montréal (it was after the race but I had to find out how fast I was with that "cheat" car, picked a track I knew) and I didn't get a better time than my regular practice laps, but it certainly felt a lot more easier to get around the track (or harder because I was not used to the car being so responsive and hit the apex barriers a few times :p). I'm pretty sure on a longer track with more curbs and more braking the difference would have been more obvious.

Anyway wether it's positive or negative boosts, it's really annoying that we don't have a good insight on what's causing these differences in car handling and performance. I'm wondering if the FPS are actually a symptom and not the cause. For now it's still a valid solution to cap everyone's FPS to 60 as it limits some known effects with curbs and handling but I hope we can dig deeper into these mechanisms and then harness their power to get faster and more intense racing just like we do with offroad wheels. I have to say I also like the idea of removing the FPS limit and allowing everyone to "tune their cars" as I feel it gives another interesting dimension to the game and is also a thing in RL racing. I think it's also a good way to dig deeper : if we allow people to run different settings, people will share their knowledge (or they won't since they get an advantage out of it but nothing can stay secret for too long :p) and eventually we can find out what works best.

This is a bit off-topic and of course I'm not questioning the decisions that were made for this event or other ones. Just stating my opinion about that since Jeffrey raised the issue.

Like I said it before, I really enjoyed participating in the last race, it was really fun, so I will gladly join to this again, if someone will be not able to play and now, ovivoJR , sign me up as a reserve driver officially.

2016 Grotti F1 - McKenzie - Track Adjustments + New Link (Grotti F1 McKenzie (New))

After the practice session there were a few issues with the track that have been fixed now. Here are the important changes:

1. New pit position: Entrance is next to the start finish gate and Exit is on the long straight to avoid unnecessary incidents




2. Bushes on the left side to slow down drivers exceeding track limits.


3. Containers instead of concrete barrier to prevent drivers from shooting across the track like a rocket.


4. Clarifications for Benimi to make sure he understands everything

ALLOWED


ALLOWED (same rule as for Yellow Jack - If there are barriers on the outside you are allowed to leave the track with 4 wheels as it is considered part of the track)

I could put a bush at the containers as well so that slows people down more if they go wide. ovivoJR?

And thx for the thing about the pit. I moved the pit once, showed ovivo, he suggested something like this and yea, i made it.
