Or is thos just making more dev work for you wally Or maybe simplify it by banning pitconfig and having a counter appear onscreen. Driver is not allowed to select pit options until counter shows 0?Then you're relying on people to honour both of those things. I'm sure the majority would, but there'd be no way to enforce it as far as I know.

Yeah, too fiddly. And you make up the difference on lap 1 anyway, half the time, even if you do start a few spots back. Ballast is easy and enforced by the server, without so much fiddling around.

Yeah, too fiddly. And you make up the difference on lap 1 anyway, half the time, even if you do start a few spots back. Ballast is easy and enforced by the server, without so much fiddling around.I am not sure: if you can make up 4 positions in lap 1, then you can surely make up 6 or 10 seconds the whole race. And anyway it is just a matter of calibrating it: if you think it is not punitive enough, just add more positions. The fastest guy, added 10 seconds, arrives 3rd at most. Starting 8th, arrives 3rd as well, more or less.Anyway: I do not want to create problems. I just feel strongly that it has been a joy to race without ballasts all the past few seasons. I also think ballast increases the chances of accidents, but that might be another story.

I also think ballast increases the chances of accidents, but that might be another story.I can't see how you'd make up all those positions that quickly which is why I spend a lot of time on the practice server to try and start in front of certain people. Maybe an easier way would be ballast for qually then take it off for the race. I just like to think I'm driving a car the way Kunos intended it to feel for it to be realistic. Ballast sometimes totally changes the way a car feels and handles which is essentially taking that realism away for me.

Sometimes there's ballast, sometimes there's not. The real life series has the handicapping for the winners.
