So with FM7 just around the corner, I thought I'd create a thread about Free-Play. It looks as if there are a lot of new options
Firstly, we are no longer restricted to doing just circuit racing. We can select the mode now, and do Drift, Drag, Time-Based Mode, hopefully Multi-class racing etc. Nick from AR12 mentions that you can drag race against the AI which is cool.
Here is confirmation of this
We also see from this screen advanced rules and car restrictions.
Update: Found a video with these options explored. Looks like you'll be able to create multi-class races (see the player buckets option) as well as have extensive options on what cars are used (everything from Year, Make, Model etc)
*EDIT* New video from Failrace confirms weather options. Looks like you'll be able to choose your:
* Start Race Scenario
* Mid Race Scenario
* Mid Race Probability (so chance of the mid race scenario happening)
* End Race Scenario
* End Race Probability
Within these five options you can choose lots of settings like;
* Partly Cloudly
* Overcast
* Summer Drizzle
* Light Rain
* Moderate Rain
* Heavy Rain
* Thin Fog
* Dense Fog
* Rain Thunder
* Rain Lightning
EDIT: Qualifying is now possible in free-play.
You can do this through Grid Ordering by Best Lap (of the last race) and the ability to change scoring types. (Check the dialog box on the right for confirmation)
So, with this in mind, I thought creating a thread to discuss what potential races/drags/multi-class races you could create and share those with everybody to give them a try! Of course when the game comes out or if the feature is detailed at length i'll update the OP to reflect that.
So anyway I'll start with two potential ideas I have for some races when I get the game;
- 30 min Track Day on Mugello, Fiats/Abarth only.
- 7 lap race on Circuit of the Americas at Night (transitioning into dawn) in Spec Formula Mazdas
