what do yous think about having this race double points due to the intensity, so almost like something like the Bathurst 1000

lol is that yes I have done enough laps or yes softs will last a race ?
I can't tell you that.
The only chance I have of beating you is for you to make a strategic error. :-X

You will beat me, in hours of practice I have only completed 3 laps and never done more that 1 and third laps before my car is wrecked

The only problem with that is is that it's not fair on people who can't make this round for whatever reason.

Yeah I wasn't paying attention and should have spoken up sooner....

I had assumed it was only the practice server that had 100% damage.
I haven't found any user variable that controls how much engine damage you suffer from frontal impacts even when the engine is in the rear!
And searching the Kunos forums has came up empty so far.
As it is it seems that any impact, even a glancing blow where the actually impact is quite low compared to your ground speed, causes total engine loss.
It seems some cars suffer it and others don't so Kunos is keeping something from us which seems to be the only thing Race sim developers are good at.
The races have all been at 100% damage for a long  time. It could be that any impact of enough speed translates to engine damage no matter where the engine is located. Bacchulum will have to take some Porsches and smash them into the fence ;)

Happened to me last night.  Side glance of the fence not overly hard and engine gone!  :) :)

Yeah, fair call, if you reckon it's a mod thing and not an inherent AC fault. It would be a shame to go softer on the gearbox/engine damage through mis-driving though, as that's a "feature" of these older cars. Hopefully you can find a way to tone down the impact damage.

If it helps you compare cars, I gave the barriers a few hits in the Surtees and only copped aero damage.

I clouted the barriers about 5 times in the Tyrrell, all my engine damage came from the jumps

The problems fixed, albeit with a work around.

The patch is updated, with twice the damage.
This way the server can be set to 50% damage and all other damages will stay the same except this odd engine killing one, which from some brief testing, seems not to occur if the global multiplier is set to 50%.

A post to notify all members of the new patch and updating the server will be needed, Wally if you could be so kind.

Ta
Nice one G0D. I'll update it later tonight.

Something just popped into my mind (and it's lonely :P )
Could it be that some cars have the radiator at the front and some don't? ???
