On this point I could not disagree more.
I've watched a good number of races in a wide range of conditions and can honestly state that some of the best ones have been in the rain.
Hell go and watch any of Senna's wet weather races or even qualifying runs and you will be witness to a degree of car control that simply goes beyond what can be shown in the dry.
I realize the point your making, but its fundamentally different than mine.
I agree. I never said you can't still see a great race in the rain under those uniquely challenging conditions.
As you describe, you may also see a display of tremendous talent and versatility in the process.
No disrespect, but you might see a great race watching cockroaches as well.
Again my point is fundamentally different.
All this I have to agree that to state that rain and adverse weather conditions have not place in racing outside of rally event is a rather narrow view of global motorsport to say the least.
Scaff
Thats not exactly what I said. Furthermore my original comment was directed to features of the game, not real racing. Also I qualified it as mostly personal preference.
But anyway by Rally I meant offroad racing or other than highspeed paved race tracks. The other exception I did say was 24hr or endurance racing ,meaning regaurdless of surface. Its expected and practically unavoidable to race in the rain if need be on these occasions.
What I did say, rephrased below, and which is still true:
It won't be close to what you would see under favorable or dry conditions wherein the power and true capabilities of the man and machine can be showcased in their designed for element.
As to narrow, maybe. But again thats my preference.
I have absolutely no desire within the confines of GT5 to race in the rain or snow, other than maybe the noted exceptions.
Given the choice of watching a race, with F1 or other high speed and power cars on a high speed track, in the rain or dry conditions, I believe the choice for most fans, would be pretty obvious.
However, to each his own.
