GRID : Neowin 6-stage Tournament


Recommended Posts

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

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.

What about crash damage and collisions?

+Nicholas-c has a thing where he crashes on the first turn and ends his race :p

I don't know, are flashbacks allowed in multiplayer? I didn't play multi enough to notice. :rofl:

Only on USA tracks! :p its second corner on EU Tracks... :p

I think we should have Damage and collisions off ? 12 neowin users some possibly with high ping is not good

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.

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?

Pretty much agree with the above. 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

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.

Why not, I got the game the other day and love it. :) Although like some others, I may have to back out if anything pops up at college or work.
