Cape Ring Hate?

[Nocturna]

I just like the color contrasts on them, and the jump is fun IMO. But then again, my first racing game was Rush San Fransisco.

I hate the full Cape Ring, it's too long, the corners have no rhythm to them, it's just not nice to drive on.

The variations are much much better, shorter, with decent corner combinations now that the ridiculously tight hairpins have been taken out. Periphery and Inside are my favourites I think.

 

[Veyron Tony]

I like the track, it`s very challenging and there are a lot of passing zones.
As for the big loop jump, it`s great, flying through the air and keeping control upon landing, makes the whole trip worth it.

The Jump is The big problem with it.

It has quite alot of really nice chunks to it. And I know many people dislike it as it is "new".

I dislike the "realistic" hotlapper corners where the apexs have been cut and the grass has been blasted away to leave ugly dirt corner cutting areas.

I do enjoy driving here, but prefer Clermont-Ferrand or Solitude for Half sized Nurburgring style tracks.

Especially when you're driving a Veyron and do a flying overtake

Haters are gonna hate,but I do like the inside layout.

To the haters, try to drive the Cape Ring Full Time Trial with Mazda Roadster NC'07, tune it to 450pp, you'll find the car is so much fun to drive with those flowing corners, the hairpins and the last few corners after the ring.

 

[esoxhntr]

my only issue with it is it doesnt start with "n" and end with "urburgring".

 

[Samus]

There is nothing to like. No good corners, nothing interesting visually and that stupid jump.

 

[byegad]

I like all the iterations of Cape Ring. BUT...

The versions using the ring are too easy against AI drivers though. I can gain loads of places on lap one if you are going up the spiral and a couple if going down. The AI drives slow appallingly on this and make races too easy.

The main reason people do not like the Cape Ring circuit is because of the jump. In real life, if a car took that at the speeds you do in the game, you would either total your car, die, or both. Probably both.

And yet people cite "realism" problems on a track in a game with no damage when you hammer a wall at 100 mph.

I know, it is a bit ridiculous. I myself have no problem with cape ring other than its length.

 

[dxm8975]

Due to the length and complexity of the track I guess? and the unnatural jumping before the spiral section of the track...
Though I don't hate the track and love the spiral section of the course, that is so much vertigious but makes me go to heaven.

 

[NFSCARBON1]

I like the cape ring periphery as I find with the exception of the jump and banking, it flows very well. The short circuits aren't too bad either, but the full circuit is too long and doesn't have a flow to it.

 

[gamerdog6482]

I find the full circuit is long, but good for enduros. The inside is a good overall track that is good for hotlapping, or ironing out the imperfections in a tune.

 

[Diogo Gomes]

I think it is a great track and different than all the other original GT tracks. And for those saying the jump is not realistic, well no real racing driver would do that jump flatout at over 300 km/h like we do, they would slow down.

👍
And it's true, if DTM ever did race at Cape Ring than they would simply slow down. Formula One wouldn't have that problem because of all the downforce.

 

[Afrodeezy]

I don't think cape ring is bad necessarily, I just don't have an enjoyable time driving it. Like others have mentioned, the jump kills it for me. I drive the Nordschleife often, so the length of Cape Ring shouldn't bother me, but when a track is BORING and long, I just don't enjoy it.

 

[gamerdog6482]

The only reason I like the Nurdschliefe is because it is SO large. Not just long, but it corners a large area. Cape Ring doesn't. Cape Ring fold in on itself, so you are never more than 10 feet away from someone else. You are nefver really alone. At the Nurburgring, even with 16 people after 4 laps every one is spread apart and pretty much on their own. That can't happen at CR.

 

[JAHHAJ]

I never new anyone hated Cape Ring but, of course there will always be haters just let them hate I don't think you can stop them hating.

Do you hate them hating?

 

[JAHHAJ]

No. Do you?

 

[Spagetti69]

No. Do you?

No doesn't bother me one bit TBH.

 

[GT'S BiG FaN]

With a wheel, its alot of fun.

 

[BJBEOSmitty]

I have raced at CR probably more than any other track. Particularly the 430 PP FF Seasonal with a de-tuned (about 360 PP) Puegeot (sorry, don't have the model handy, the 205 one)... That race is like a broken ATM.

In a good way. Push the X button and get loads of cash.

 

[ANNIHILATOR90]

It's too much like a fantasy track - and not only because of the ring and jump - with too many layouts.

 

[Morgoth_666]

First I've heard of too many layout options being a bad thing.

For what little it's worth, F1 cars with a bit more than default aero don't catch air on the jump, at least going towards the loop.

It's only a bad thing if you hate it , other than that it's an negligible argument yes.

I like Cape Ring, but it can't really fill the void left by Apricot Hill and many others...
