Seconding this. But adding heavy damage, at least for Race C, would eventually curb some of this terrible behavior.At this point I'd be happy if they just went to the pre Laguna Seca system. It was flawed but was MOSTLY consistent and kept dirty drivers at a lower SR.
No, it would just make things a whole lot worst adding heavy damage.But adding heavy damage, at least for Race C, would eventually curb some of this terrible behavior.
Yeah, roll back to what we had then would definitely do good.At this point I'd be happy if they just went to the pre Laguna Seca system. It was flawed but was MOSTLY consistent and kept dirty drivers at a lower SR.
Or how about a super elite SR class. Where you must maintain 99SR for 50 consecutive sport mode races to be promoted to this class, and once you lose it (one organge sr arrow) you are relegated back to sr S etc etc?
It doesn't teach anything. In the E/B classes, there is soft ghosting for beginners. If there is ghosting in the B/S-S/S classes, it just becomes hot lapping.What about setting the ghosting to STRONG? You wouldn't need to worry about hitting the guy in front losing control, and then getting a penalty.
If it knew which person was the one doing the ramming, the penalty system would already be fine.Yes there is a way to exploit this, but this combined with massive time penalties for the person doing the ramming, would maybe curb some of this terrible driving we are all seeing?

No skill involved. Just four or five cars, all in the same space, driving around.
If two cars make contact the one going faster (or the one with the most steering input) gets transported to the beginning of that lap. That should work.
And having heavy damage is the worst thing that can happen.full ghosting is the best thing that can happen
no skill involved? Hum you still have to drive fast , you still have to make 4-5 laps at the highest speed possible , you still can make mistakes , dirty drivers wouldnt be able to count on punting people to go up the ladder
given the game we have right now , full ghosting is the best thing that can happen and it saddens me
At least Ghosting is enjoyment Racing, and have a nice day.Time trial is what you want. Ghost racing is not “real” racing.
No, because while in theory it's not a bad idea, both the offender and the victim would be severely damaged, good riddance for the offender, but why should the poor victim suffer because a moron decided to ram them? You could apply damage only to the offender, but the algorithm isn't that good and sometimes the victim would be penalized again.
Assuming that the victim would be patient enough to tolerate being rammed for more than 10 races, yes, their SR would go up and they would race against clean racers. However, few people are so patient, most would be annoyed by the first collision and rightly so, it's unsportsmanlike to ram the others on purpose (accidents are fine though). On the other hand I have noticed that rammers take too long to fall to SR E hell, to fall from B to E (assuming it's a new account), they would need at least 5 very dirty races, which means they would ruin at least 5 racers day. Besides, sport mode is inherently unbalanced, in my first race I was defaulted at DR E and had to face a couple of DR A and B drivers respectively. How could in PD's eyes a new E driver compete with a seasoned A driver? Sport mode is consisted of many ideas that are good on paper, but not so good in practice.eventually that victim will benefit from keeping his nose clean and the player who is most likely a repeat offender will go down in sr where he belongs.
Heavy damage gives damage to both cars meaning the other driver would need to put as wellNo, it would just make things a whole lot worst adding heavy damage.
Edit: The current penalty system is way way better than having heavy damage on a car. First turn with heavy damage your race in done, and the other person can finish the race. A penalty system without heavy damage on the car, at lease you can finish a race.

In terms of the next race, it would be bad. For the longer term it'd be great. It's also how it works in the real world.If you think adding heavy damage will fix racing etiquette because it will enforce heavier penalties on both parties.
Ask yourself if you think the current penalty system would be better if the penalties were more harsh, and both parties always received them regardless of fault. Because that's the same thing you're asking for.
