THURSDAY 12th "1966 Alfa Lightweight at Nords 3 Lapper Celebration Run." « on: March 06, 2015, 11:20:14 AM » "Finally the beautiful “alleggerita” (lightweight) Alfa Romeo GTA of 1966. Another touring car champion. It might seem small and underpowered by todays standards, but drive it and despite the skinny tyres, you will discover a new meaning for the words “agile”, “balance” and “fun” through the never ending bends of the most beautiful and demanding circuit of the world, the Nürburgring Nordschleife."+* 3 lapsTHURSDAY 12TH 20:00hrsLong Prac/Warmup, short race!If Version 1.1 is out... « Last Edit: March 09, 2015, 11:47:09 AM by Gratulin » Logged "I refuse to be what you call normal."

I'm not sure what the best way is the counteract this however some ideas are,1. Turn off damage2. Turn on penalties - try and make fast guys drive a bit more carefully? Not sure what AC1.1 will change w.r.t. penalties so may not work very well. Just an idea.3. Make it a series of single lap runs but still a 3 lap race. Idea would be to have the first car to act a safety car occasionally. Perhaps when passed the start-finish line to stop and wait for the field to bunch up again. Means you see other cars for at least some of a lap.

Means you see other cars for at least some of a lap.I remember we had some open-wheeler races there in NKP, and I was surprised by how close the racing was. I thought it would be boring, but it was good fun. That is, until one by one people either crashed, or disappeared into the distance.Turning off damage is probably a good option. The stop at the start line is not too bad either. It won't be much of a "race", but a lot more fun to be with someone else. Maybe a rule could be that positions 1, 3, 5 etc have to let the guy behind them (2, 4, 6 etc) pass them at the start line.

Will you need my GUID? Wally already has it but I'm not sure if you guys keep a shared list or something.
