Nicholas-c Veteran Posted April 21, 2009 Veteran Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) Hey guys, Me and Popcorned1 think a GRID tournament should be done ;) Reply here if you are interested and have recommendations for car class and tracks Last stage will be Le-mans, exact time to be agreed Edited April 22, 2009 by Nicholas-c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorned1 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Yep. I'm looking forward to it. I think the last race should be a 24 minutes le mans race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre S. Veteran Posted April 21, 2009 Veteran Share Posted April 21, 2009 Yeah ! Count me in. My recommendations: - No drift competitions (it's not racing, it's showing off) - If the Audi R10 is allowed in a race, everyone's going to take it, so maybe limit the number of Prototype races to 1 otherwise it's going to be an Audi-festival - Order of preferences for countries : Europe >> Japan > USA. Europe features all the real racing tracks (Le Mans, Nurburing etc), Japan has some decent ones, but USA tracks are narrow and frustrating, + performance is worse on them. - I don't have a racing wheel so assists should be available. - The full listing of tracks and cars should be made available a few days before the tournament so we have time to practice I'd prefer if the tournament could begin AFTER April 28 because I'll be deep into final exams.

Popcorned1 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 What about crash damage and collisions? +Nicholas-c has a thing where he crashes on the first turn and ends his race :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre S. Veteran Posted April 21, 2009 Veteran Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) That's one more argument in favor of EU tracks ! ;) As for damage and collisions off, I never played without them but I guess disabling them would make the match more fun because with substantial ping some collisions are very hard to avoid and can completely wreck you.

Popcorned1 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 As far as I know, I don't think a high ping will wreck you. The car turns opaque in such situations and thus you can't crash into it and collisions should definitely be turned on otherwise it'll just be a glorified time trial. Anyone else?

ViZioN Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) Oooh count me in! Like Dr_Asik I've got final exams coming up too. Won't be finished those till May 7th :( So i'll maybe join in the next tournament :) Yeah ! Count me in. My recommendations: - No drift competitions (it's not racing, it's showing off) - If the Audi R10 is allowed in a race, everyone's going to take it, so maybe limit the number of Prototype races to 1 otherwise it's going to be an Audi-festival - Order of preferences for countries : Europe >> Japan > USA.

I don't have a racing wheel either but I've got a 360 pad for the PC and I know how to use it! (ish) :p That's one more argument in favor of EU tracks ! wink.gifAs for damage and collisions off, I never played without them but I guess disabling them would make the match more fun because with substantial ping some collisions are very hard to avoid and can completely wreck you. I've mixed feelings regarding damage and collisions. Personally, I think damage should be enabled as it adds to the realism and forces you to drive properly. I think collisions should be enabled too. Yeah I know it means there will be times when crashes and wipeouts happen, but if we're all from Neowin its a bit different (maybe can password the game?). I think having collisions enabled increases the skill level, because then you're not just racing around with a bunch of ghost cards. You actually have to think about overtaking and what corners you can do it on. Edited April 21, 2009 by ViZioN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
