Single file or standing starts preference

[ghostrider135]

Standing starts, There is nothing quite like a 4WD car on Soft Slicks to boot it off the line.

Standing starts because they actually require some element of skill.

Yes:tup:

You need to (sometimes) control the throttle manually, or know how to tune your 1st gear according to drivetrain, power, weight distribution, tyre composition, ect.


In a rolling start, the only way to have an advantage is to have the rolling speed match the RPM that Peak power is produced (Eg. 550hp @ 6000RPM)

My preference is bias as it depends on the car I'm driving. If I'm in a 4wd/AWD vehicle I love the standing starts. If I'm in something without 4/AWD I prefer the rolling start.

Well it's an overwhelming vote for standing starts so far (or at the very least the OPTION to choose).

I have to say, I was less than impressed when PD removed the standing starts from most of the single-player. At least the standing rolling starts work properly now, though, in that everyone goes as soon as first place crosses the line, not like in GT5 where you'd individually wait until the start-finish line!

It was such a great feeling to be able to do standing starts online in that game. It makes all the difference; it really makes the start worth something and it doesn't put you in hot-lap mode but "battle" mode, which is as it should be. Unless you're a rammer.

I only really have problems with FF cars in GT5 on a standing start, but I'm not sure that's entirely my fault

You get rolling starts regardless... Or were you referring to the penaltied "jump" start you were choosing from?

I'm fairly sure there is a choice if it is your lobby, i don't go online very often so im not 100% sure.
