Standing start?

[Patrik]

Excuse me, just have a quick question. Is there any race outside of online mode with a standing start?

 

[Ardius]

Nope, except for the time trial's (as in the ones where you start in the pitlane).

That doesn't count. I love watching standing starts on real races. I don't see GT being able to replicate the excitment of a real stading start in the game. I don't think that the computer cars would stall, or get to much wheelspin and screw up the start.

I wouldn't put it past PD to implement this.....we already have AI making mistakes on track (albeit semi-scripted ones, but still, its better than nothing).

Besides..we have online mode to give us exciting standing starts now, though the AI is vastly improved nowadays to previous GT's, it has to be said.

PD can't replicate a rolling start either. Having all the cars lined up in single file spaced some 5 seconds apart is not a rolling start in any sense.

yea it sucks when you start in the back and first place is already lapping you lol

I want a parade lap leading to the grid.

I'll take PD's old standing starts compared to their rolling starts any day of the week. It may not be "exciting" at the moment, but at least you have a chance to catch the lead car when at a standing start.

If PD keeps rolling starts for GT5, I hope they make it so that every car hits the gas at the same time instead of it being staggard.

Yeah with the GT pace car heading into the pits. 8)
And yes, i agree with xKingOfDa910x, its the biggest minus for me in the game.

I want a parade lap leading to the grid.

And a victory lap to do figure 8's

There needs to be more skill required for a standing start - I just nail the accelerator and seem to get the best start every time (not tried this on N tyres).

I can't see how hard it would be to randomise the AIs standing starting capabilities.

This gives me an idea. I used to love Hard Drivin' when you had to start the car. How about having to start your car as a little feature on standing starts (and as mentioned above, implement stalling for those that use a clutch)

I only have a couple issues with GT5p after spending a couple weeks with it. I don't care for every racing being a rolling start. I wouldn't mind some standing start races in the career mode in GT5 when it's released.

They need to have rolling starts, like real racing! Two lines of two, and everybody goes when the green light comes on!!!👍

So far, at least in class C, every race for me has been a rolling start, single file. Does that change in later classes?

Nope! All rolling starts are single file!! Even in online racing!

DANG! Ok..thanks for the reply!

There are some online standing start races eg a few months ago the race with F430s on N1 tyres.
