o H i T M a N z Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I was wondering too, is anyone up for maybe upping the distance to 75%? I know 100% is too long really (although i would be up for it im guessing most wouldn't). It's just while these are long, i can't help but think that it is only half distance, and half isn't a lot by comparison to the real thing, lol. Just a suggestion, still happy to keep it at 50% if that's preffered. By the way im working again sunday so i can only do the race on the Saturday. Im happy to keep the race at 50% but i would also like to try a longer race, what i really want is DAMAGE ON FULL, i seem to be one of the few that doesnt put my car in the wall, and when some cheeky bugger with his Front Wing missing tries to overtake me, that is annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noddee 1984 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 i agree wuth hitman damage on full and a longer race wud make everyone a bit more cautious when race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pined5551 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Yeah damage is a must i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFC2K6 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 We could do a mini race during the week at a longer distance with damage on full and see how it goes? If not we should put it to a vote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x13radx Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Either Tomorrow or Wednesday would be a decent time for me to participate in the "mini-race" to test longer distances/damage. I often find that when racing online the laps seem to go very fast. I can do a 20% race on Career and get bored, but on 50% it doesnt seem to last long enough!

derektaylor84 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I would prefer to race Sunday night for this weekends GP,as i won't be back in time for 7pm start on Saturday.Also in reponse to earlier posts about rule changes i would be happy to keep 50percent race distance but would like to try full damage.

NUFC_Matty Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Happy do it either way 75% or 50%, but i think the crashes will start to reduce once everyone gets used to the length of the races. But this race i have have learned how not to spin out everyone 6/7 laps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFC2K6 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Me, Daenius, Brad and Noddee had a few races tonight with full damage on, we all totalled our car at least once. Though to be fair the people we raced were horrible and crashed us off. All in all it didn't really seem to go well, but then again in the full race were people are more... Considerate, things may be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considerate, things may be better. The problem with full damage on is that you really have to drive absolutely perfectly. We were racing at Korea yesterday, and the last curve is a long right one that you can take from 2nd gear while accelerating up to max speed. I just swerved one bit to the right, kissed the wall and my car was totaled. Normally this would have been a damaged tyre at best. So it's definitely something that we have to discuss further before incorporating it into our races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vapona88 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Sorry guys, i have just read the forum now and seen about tonights practice etc, if you needed me then sorry. In the future would someone be able to message me on xbox as I will be more likely to be in the know for the weeks events, cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daenius Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) Ok, seems like our race this week will take place on Saturday. Additionally, everybody make sure to pick your preferred car for the rest of the season, I'm going to message each person that hasn't picked one on Live, just to be sure. The list: Pined x360a | Force India xI BR4D Ix | McLaren MytH FTW | Ferrari LFC2k6 | Renault || Mr Dizzle || Williams Daenius | Virgin Noddee1984 | Red Bull o H i T M a N z | Mercedes Shelton | Lotus Crazy BigGaz | Toro Rosso abspur x360a | BMW Sauber derektaylor84 | HRT Edited October 14, 2010 by daenius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problems here But in all seriousness. I think we should try one of the easier circuits with damage. China & Malaysia are very wide with lots of run off areas. Who knows, it could shake up the championship nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o H i T M a N z Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 What time where you gonna start tonight, i have to be off by 7.30, so i guess for me to take part it would have to start around 6pm GMT, thats probably to early for some of you ?

I'll just be online from 6 on and we'll see how many ppl. show up! I'll take the Sauber if it is free. Done HaZarr! I have no problems here But in all seriousness.

x13radx Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I will be on later on if anyone wants to do any practice/racing. Had a few races with Daenius, abspur & LFC last night, was good. Might have to use my standard xbox controller though as my racing wheel started playing up last night and when I was on this morning it was acting very twitchy and not registering wheel movement or button presses properly...

Yh i came like 110th in the world, i thought i'd done good, i said try beat it ... and he bloody did, totally smashed my time. But i have found out that none of my cars will go above 180 mph, even if i mess around with the gearbox, the stupid car selects 7th gear at about 150 mph, and gets stuck on the rev limiter at 175 mph, im losing so much time on the straights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually make them look like a slightly diagonal line, depending on track of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x13radx Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 OK, it's now official. My racing wheel is completely broken. I was just doing a Time Trial on Singapore and it twitched to the left slightly (malfunctioning force feedback) and then it loses all power and I cannot get it to turn back on whatever I do. Well, controller for me then. I will probably be shit now because I havent used a controller on this game since I first got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
