- Positive, negative, neutral feedback, whatever comes to your mind!
- Which car would you like to drive for season 7?
- How did you like the Team Championship?
- How did you like the schedule?
- Do you have any other general feedback?
I really like the idea of additional prizes/awards such as the best overtake etcMaybe some alternative prizes for slower drivers to aim for e.g.:
Sportsman (fairest racer voted for by all competitors in the series).
Best overtake (nominated by competitors)
Consistency: Smallest delta between Quali time and fastest race lap? Not sure how to do this, but I thought there was a race tracker app maybe?
I was thinking this. You can several different fun cups. You should also have 'wooden spoon' type cups. Same as local football clubs that have an award for the biggest miskick, you can have awards for the person who crashed the most, the person who caused the most amount of DNS's / pitstops for other drivers etc. Things you don't want to win and if you do, you know you need to sort it out!!!I really like the idea of additional prizes/awards such as the best overtake etc![]()
The penalties in Pcars 2 are shit and the rolling start is very bad and often bugs out. I had a race once where half the field had drive through penalties and +30s just because the game bugged.Firstly I really enjoyed the season, I have nothing I can truly moan about which is great.
Couple of things I would maybe suggest:
I would be interested in another race on race nights. 3 x 30 mins races. Spending every gaming minute practicing for a race for it to be over so quickly is a shame, especially if you get taken out early in one of the races. It also prevents you from being able to do anything else that evening...might as well spend another 45 mins racing.
Reverse grids would be awesome too, gives us mortals a chance to challenge but would also be great to see what the top few guys can achieve from the back of the grid...would make for an awesome highlights video.
Harsher penalties I think would be great, maybe even turn on the game rules, the amount of people who go wide on corners because it is faster is unreal. Race 2 last night for example, someone went down the outside of me and several other cars in turn 1 lap 1. It's a bit ridiculous. I'm not one to raise stewards cases and you guys surely don't want to be wasting time with that s***, so by having the game rules turned on people who do that are forced to return to the place they were in before cheating, and those who constantly cut the track get penalised too. A drive through penalty being the harshest of penalties doesn't justify someone smashing into a car causing untold amounts of damage, having to crawl to the pits then waiting 2 mins for the car to be fixed. If this happens and you're found guilty, maybe the finishing positions should be switched so the victim takes the aggressors finishing position instead. Still won't completely make it fair but will help and stop people from doing it....which is the ultimate goal.
Season 7 cars, I would love to see an Open Wheel class, or bigger engined LMP cars. Or something historic maybe....with minimal setup changes you can make.
I would like to see another 2 race evenings so an extra 3 weeks added to the calendar.
Also is there any reason why we do the first lap rolling? Wouldn't it be easier to just make it a game setting rolling start? It's hard to hear when the leaders say the race has started.
I would so become a pro am with @TaorminatorI second what @Owfier and @CatchAGlimpse said. Additionally it would be nice to have some sub classes, like Pro, Pro-Am, Gold, Silver like in some RL series, so you have something to fight for even if your not on a podium overall.
Yeah, but the self-policing doesn't work. You could clearly see that in last night's streams.The penalties in Pcars 2 are shit and the rolling start is very bad and often bugs out. I had a race once where half the field had drive through penalties and +30s just because the game bugged.
And also with the ingame rolling start on you can't do a reverse grid.

Wasn't there so I don't know. I do know that it clearly says in the rules and stuff to just call it out when you see it happen and if he doesn't change , make a steward case of it. That thread is there for a reason. No bad blood just good racing.Yeah, but the self-policing doesn't work. You could clearly see that in last night's streams.
I like your thinking proces of pitstops!Some thoughts
Typing on phone proving to be quite challenging
- Positives
- I really liked the car. It is definitely a challenge with the rears giving up, and my tendency to smash the throttle. I also like high downforce cars, I really have trouble getting the most out of mechanical grip cars, and I think that is why I managed some finishes waaaaay above my skill level.
- Whereas the previous season was intense with little communication etc beforehand, I really liked the spirit of the season. Imagine someone joining your practice session and asking if you want his setup. Crazy man. Thanks everyone.
- Full grid, again and again.
- Track selection was very cool. I loved the theme, USA leg, Asia leg, European leg. Good mixture of circuit types, all unique (except for COTA
)
- The broadcasts were tremendously cool.
- Neutral
- Another wet race would be cool. But it probably isn't fun for everyone.
- Even though I like the high downforce cars, following will always be an issue.
- I liked the worst weekend strike of the previous season. Didn't miss it, but liked it.
- Negative
- Yes, we don't have induction anymore, but I think an introductory session for all would be a nice start to a new season, to get everyone on the same page, especially if new drivers join especially for the season. What happened in the first race was really bad.
- I feel a bit worried that the "old guard" was not represented that well. Is it due to life, the game, the car? Either way, should we be worried about the future of pcars 2 here?
- Although it was cool teaming up with a friend, it did make for some lopsided teams. The pro am setup was great, I think I prefer that, especially as it gives me a chance to learn from a pro. Not just that, I hopefully befriend someone new. You can even consider making teams of 4, 2 pros and 2 ams. Spitballing here.
- Teamspeak chatter. And groans. Those groans! It was really distracting.
- The next car
- Although I know this won't be a popular choice, I really really really like the Mercedes CLK GT1 car. The GT1 class is not that balanced, but I like that car specifically.
- It's probably overdone by other leagues, but the GT3s are cool. GTEs are even cooler.
- Audi R8 LMP900
- If DLC was a consideration, the F355 challenge?
- I think touring cars can probably provide good racing.
- If there is a good option but requires a shifter, make seperate classes for h and paddles.
- If lag is taken into account, slower cars with longer braking distances are probably best.
- Schedule
- Two races every three weeks works well.
- Some races the weather was delayed. It would be cool if a date was set that weather would be uploaded, example Saturday before the race. Something like that. Weekends are generally when practice happens for me, and I guess I'm not the only one.
- I think longer races would be fun. It gives you a chance to catch up if things go south, especially with pitstops. Also, strategy. One long race could also shorten the evening a bit, no breaks in the middle. Also, if anything promotes a bit more conservatism...
- Other thoughts
- Thanks so much for doing this. @ admins, great job. Thank you for your thankless work!
- Thanks thanks thanks.
- Are donations the best way of helping? Any other help or requests?
- I really hope I didn't upset anyone on track. If I did, I'm really sorry.
Maybe multiclass in the same race to split the field then? With a qualification process to determine who is in which class? Would be worth a try...Maybe 2 splits, I know this has been talked about in previous seasons and that it is hard to get if there are not enough people. But on the other side there was never a chance for the "casuals" as me to get close to top 3 or 5 unless they where not there that race or they crashed out and even than they might even catch back up. I personally don't want to win, I just look at the people I normally fight with on track and see if I can beat them. That for me is already a win, but sometimes an actual win would be cool.
And for cars....I don't know what cars have already been driven in the cup, but I really like the slower cars because they really give you some nice close racing for example: The Ginetta junior, TC, GT4, etc. Or we could go oldschool![]()
That sounds nice two. We could do some kind of cup that is a rip off from WEC or something. But on the other side some people who are fast don't really want to drive the high aerodynamic cars as pd just said.Maybe multiclass in the same race to split the field then? With a qualification process to determine who is in which class? Would be worth a try...
Not necesseraly high DF cars, you can think of TCRs and clios or ginetta juniors in the same race.That sounds nice two. We could do some kind of cup that is a rip off from WEC or something. But on the other side some people who are fast don't really want to drive the high aerodynamic cars as pd just said.
