Would you like to be able to install KERS or Nitrous system on ur car?

It would be ok if the host could turn it off and on
 
I dont care as im not a fan of both. Though the only cars i know that use KERS are F1 so its kind of useless, but NOS is pretty common on a lot of street cars, so it would be a useful addition to the game.

KERS is also used in the Scirocco R Cup and it's coming on streetcars.
 
I honestly don't see why not. NOS could be a LOT of fun to play around with, as well as KERS being realistic for the F1 cars.

Correct and it has been seen in Le Mans Series as well and will probably be seen in WEC next year as well. Oh and let's not forget Eers that will be seen in 2014 on F1 cars.

Wow, did you not see that people have said that they too would only want it for production cars only...Also Le Mans, F1, Nascar and others all have a strategy to them so they're not professional by your definition since they use fuel strategy to win many races, tire strategy, F1 uses Kers too boost and DRS. Yet you'll take Kers only cause it seems more elitist from your argument.

As far as "virtual professional racing" goes GT isn't the standard that would be PC sims. Sorry but your argument doesn't hold water and is very contradictory seeing as you need as much skill in driving as you do strategy of multiple things to win a race. If anything nitrous would add to the complexity of racing and the strategy of it.

there's no difference in braking with kers , there has never been a talk over that in F1 or in other kers system.

Your right KERS wasn't used in 2007 or 2010 but both cars right now have the same fuel load which is wrong. Boost is simply more wrong too. The 2010 cars were capable of having KERS but it was banned just for 2010.

And if someone has KERS then you can use KERS too , KERS can be used for attack and defend or if the person chooses not to use KERS then still if someone did that would add weight.

And I could feel that 2009 data was used on the f10 because GT5 was released just after the 2010 season ended.

The f2007 is unbelievable the easiest racing car yet much quicker than the f10 in GT5.

First off it wasn't banned it was allowed, there was a gentleman's agreement between the teams to not use it for that season. Hence why we didn't see it in 2010. Also I never said there was a difference in braking with Kers your thinking of another poster on that, so not sure why you quoted me and started with that line or the last part of what you wrote...are you talking to me about my quote and trying to prove me wrong or are you just quoting me cause you like my post?

Then you obviously have not played all of GT4. Trust me its in there.

Dude i think you need to check GT4 again because i had it for at least 4 years and i can say it doesn't have nos in it

Everyone else has talked about it and I had the game for a long while as well and it does have nitrous. Everyone accept you knows it has nitrous...maybe that means your wrong!?
 
Gt4 Definitely had nitrous with adjustable power/duration.

Seems like the reason it wasn't brought back in GT5 was because they ran out of buttons on the controller..:dunce:

I spent the last 2 years that I played GT4 at any real capacity tuning cars to go 300MPH. If GT4 did not have nitrous in it, then what the hell was I using to push some of those bricks that fast?

Exactly what I was thinking 👍

It's a shame you agree with something so ridiculous.

I must watch more F1 than you.

The drivers have to adjust brake bias based on the KERS and what it is doing. This did not make it to F1 2011 but is a real issue.

Remember at the beginning of this season when the RB7 had KERS reliability issues? Red Bull would turn it off to minimize the effect under breaking. Vettel won most of those first 6 out of 7 with a bad KERS system.

I am just trying to add to the conversation.

KERS was not banned in 2010 there was a Gentlemans agreement in place to not use it. The teams made the decision not the FIA.

Kinetic
Energy
Recovery
System

Basically, it regains energy that would've otherwise been lost through heat and noise while braking.

In f1 (where the acronym? comes from) it recharges a battery that will give the car an extra 80hp every 6 odd seconds a lap.
 
Nitrous = Drive like utter crap in the turns & pass your opponent on the straight.
Nitrous = Arcade players, Drag racers, "drifters".

yeah , i quoted the wrong 1

We don't have any F1 cars in the game that used KERS.
The big effect of KERS is not weight gain although that is a factor. KERS affects the feel of the brakes when the batteries are charged the brakes will feel normal and when the system is harvesting power it will reduce braking effect and feels as though the brake pedal is pushing back at the driver.

no there isn't any.
 
Indeed. GT4 most definitely did not turn into NFS, not that there's anything at all wrong with enjoying that series. If anything the option to use nitrous added a level of technical depth to the game that otherwise wouldn't have been there.
