It's probably fairly realistic though, from what I gather. The real life hards last for ages (several races on one set, in fact), then go off rapidly.

In my experience, when there's room in T1, cars can go around side if they slow down a little and stick to their side of the track. As far as side-to-side goes, maybe that's a good rule: if you know (or even suspect) there's a car beside you in T1, stick to your side of the track. Don't go cutting back from the outside of the track looking for the apex. I've maintained this room plenty of times two wide into T1, both cars come out clean, one car has the speed, let them go.


And yes, further back into the pack, you cannot brake at your normal braking point. You have to move your braking distance back from the car in front of you, not the normal brake marker.


I'm leaning towards this now: I'll look at the first corner or two of every race, looking for incidents (assuming the replay goes back far enough), because that won't take long at all. Any other incidents, driver can lodge a protest with Glen or Bird, and they can look at it.
I think a T1 incident should attract more points penalty than other incidents, because there's that much more potential to take half the field out.
It'll be something like, for T1, -4 pts for the hitter, +4 pts for who got hit. Later in the race, -2/+2 pts. You're still expected to redress.
The second time you cause a T1 incident, you miss the next round.
If a driver accumulates more than 10 penalty points against them, they miss a round.

I thought the 6x wear worked well. The 5x was barely noticeable, and the car was still quite drivable at 90, just a bit more slippery in the last couple of laps.

Ha!

Not sure. I haven't been on the AC forums for a while. I'll take whatever we get as a pleasant surprise!

Right. Well, for season 3, I'm thinking of 3 x 15 min sprints, so the replays will be shorter.

Perhaps in the meantime we can work a way to use Vallelunga and Magione. One way is to make those rounds single points rounds and ballot a few people to sit one of the races out.

I don't know if it's worth kicking some people out, just to use a different track. And then there's the question of the points those people miss out on. I'd rather try to work those tracks in if we're down on numbers at some stage.

I'm always evil enough to help.  Sorry I mean happy and helpful, that is.

We should ask for the replay, cut to size ~30s before the accident.

The prollem, however, is that currently it seems the replay isn't long enough to contain the 1st lap. mine certainly doesn't.

Another thought: it'd be good in cases like this to get multiple sides of the accident, because a bit of lag can change things dramatically. So I recommend everyone to save their replays religiously if we're going to judge based on replays.

Edit: and we need at least one more person; if the complaint is against me, my judgement may not be completely impartial

I've been getting the entire race in a replay. Have you set your limit to 500MB? This changed in one of the recent updates. It's a bit hard to trim the replays, and people forget to keep them etc. I'd like to see one person, say Bird, be responsible for keeping the replay. You should be able to make a decision based on your replay alone. You'd get an independent, third person view of what any lag looked like. I could help out if there's a complaint against you. Let's let the idea stew for a while, see if anyone else has any ideas - in fact, I'll make another thread.
