After watching the ROC (race of champions) this weekend, I thought it would be a great audition in private lobbies etc.

Basically an arena section where one car starts on the inner circuit and one on the outer. Same track but with a cross over bridge. Some rally events feature them as a spectator sport more than anything.

Would be nice to have a circuit or two based on that format for private lobbies.

Anyone else agree.
 
Hmm...you know Benchmark Ring Layout E is a giant open circle with a small circle barrier in the middle. Practically a parking lot. It gives absolutely no impression of that from the track selection screen.

What if you had a few extra cars, raced 1 on 1, and went around the circle in inner and outer "lanes," crossing over to make the distance roughly equal by slaloming around other cars that are waiting between races? Rather complicated but it's a unique track and we have no autocross layout editor.

I think the only thing easy enough to coordinate would be demolition derby on that layout, with sim damage. Last one standing.

If you have a good imagination, you could try Suzuka. Start halfway around the track from each other and complete a full lap or two back to where you started. With luck you could drive over and under the bridge at the same time to get a nice photo from the replay. :sly:
 
Actually Wolfe your onto something there.
In my old series when we had lobby points we set up a qualifying lobby.

Basically set up a roll off delay of 30 seconds and set lobby to fastest lap time.
Set timer to 3minutes or so and you would get a one lap time trial similar to a special stage run.
 
Rally di Positano is a nice small, twisty and rough track of a reasonable length. The cobbled surfaces really do make it more of a "Rally" than any other circuit. Definitely one of my favorites.
 
It would actually be quite easy to re-create the RoC track (apart from the bridge) using cars as 'corners' coloured and/or numbered for each corner

but how awesome would it be to get the track as DLC

Click to expand...

Problem is that the track is impossible without the bridge unless you risk having a crash zone where the crossover happens.

Nah, I think we need that as dlc. :)
