In lieu of the last paragraph I was going to award 2 points to the fastest single lap in the race.the rulebook
I'd really rather not drag this out over the next 6 months. I understand the point of wanting to have practice time and accomodate schedules, but I think having 90+ days to run is just too long. Interest and focus will never stay togethter that long.Arwin
I initially had it at 24-hour intervals, and overwhelming popular opinion said that 24 hours was too short and requested 48-72 hour intervals. Also, if you think that interest would suffer having the results spread over three weeks, I'm curious as to why you'd prefer to have the driving drawn out over three months?
It would be logical to use a rally car in a rally but we always end up using some over-powered piece of junk that has no business in a rally.
Yes, I meant 'Rally Cars' to include all the race-bodied cars that were built for rally competition in their original form.Small_Fryz
That's what the Wild Card proposals are for. Each team submits 11 proposals for the 10 rounds. If one (or more) of the Wild Cards proves more popular than one of the regularly-submitted rounds, we'll run that instead. That's how I was trying to open up the proposals a little.Wity
I would disagree 100% that arcade races are the pure drivers races.The ability to tune a car to suit a specific track and driving style is what racing is,not racing a one size fits all arcade car.Duke
I agree that's what most professional racing is all about, and I like professional racing. But what about, say, SCCA Showroom Stock? Or Spec Miata? That's truly great racing with very limited prep and tuning. Not that there isn't some flexibility in the alignment adjustments, but it's very limited compared to more prepared cars. Yet the Runoffs manage to be some of the most exciting racing all year. Club racing is a ball to watch and be in.IforceV8
If you want me to dictate, I'll dictate. But there's room in the scenarios listed for teams to submit both arcade and sim mode races. Then the teams can vote on them. If the arcade races aren't popular, they won't get picked. But I would like to keep at least 2 rounds out of 10 - one tarmac, one dirt (or snow, I'm not being literal here) - as arcade races to factor the settings adjustments out of it. It's wonderful to have a car sublimely dialed in to suit you. But as a friend of mine, a semi-pro racer and chassis engineer on Chrysler's PVO team says, the car should be set up for its theoretical engineered best performance, and then it's up to the driver to adapt his driving style to get the most out of the car.
I agree, which is at least partly why I'm a perennial backmarker in OLR. But that idea does not seem to sit too well in the BC environment. By all means submit some oneshots, either as regular rounds or your Wild Card; maybe it will get some votes.Wity
Cheers, indeed. I am soliciting feedback so that we can all have a good time in this; I'm not getting grumpy at the criticism. Thanks for your input and please keep it up.IforceV8OK Duke.My arguement is based on a misunderstanding of the rules,please disregard my last post.When i read that 2 races are to be in arcade mode i for some reason assumed that the others must be in GT mode.
. Gonna be a long haul test running them though
