Yup... Resets allowed (just to keep you crash happy lot going ! :p), but punishable with a Drive through !!! That way, people can still carry on racing, but don't get an unfair advantage !


As much as we all see this as fun, and as a game... there is a reason we like to race online together, and not just on random servers full of cocks doing drifting etc.... that reason (I believe) is cause we take it a little bit more seriously than just a jump on and join race.... Part of the enjoyment for me, is the build up, the practicing, the improvements (of not just me, but seeing others improve too)... and so with all of that, I'd be lying if i said I saw it as just a bit of fun ! :D

yea ill agree with that resets ok but some kind of penalty for using it must be enforced, either drive through or +20/30 sec penatly as some tracks have massivly long pits

yeah but it will be even for all ..the main time lost will be when the inciddent occured...two ppl having incidents on different laps will still merge close at the exit of pits provided time differences during incident to reset and pit speeds and race speeds have not occured massively...

this all depends on actually having incidents which may decrease...

dont think amount of resets should be restricted due to it being such a penalty anyways
if ya immobile ya will be reaching for space bar as fast as ya can
if ya still going you gota be considering your options pretty hard

should be fun
but results will now count for consistant fast driving ablity not reset ablity

practice last night on the other hand was awesome
7-8 ppl no pressure resets on keeping fun level up
roll overs gallore haha perfect time to muck around with crazy antics

i feel it is good that we are now separating these 2

worse one is second corner at bottom of hill..due to camber allowing good grip ..just clipping that kerb is enought to give some hang time :)
then 5th corner heading under bridge grip is not as much but kerb still offers good pop
6th corner heading onto straight and 3rd corner exit after back straight because it can be cut offers a bone jarring
experence and normally pops ya up lucky theres lots of run off because of the wide pit entry corner

realisticy you could pop it on its lid in all corners if ya cutting and turning hard...
minis are probally worse than the hatches due to skinnyer track width...
