Chat Rules and Post Race Chat
#1
I'd like there to be another minute or so post race for drivers to chat it up about the race, if that is possible to do.

The current rules specifically says "CHAT IS NOT ALLOWED!" but current SRS etiquette on this matter is lax at best. Many drivers start chatting it up the moment they cross the finish line, which means when the two aliens getting first and second finish, they can immediately start patting each other on the back while the rest of us plebeians are trying our best to finish one more lap without putting it into a wall.

I think that if there was more time post race to have a brief high five session it might cut down on the chatter during the race, as well as allow us to build better relationships with drivers we see on the track often.

I can see reasons for cutting this time even shorter to avoid the "fuck you asshole" that you may see from time to time when incidents happen, but in my opinion the good outweighs the bad. If anything extra time for chat could be a chance for someone who borked up during the race to apologize when there wasn't a good time to do so during the race. I know many of us don't have quick access to a keyboard when strapped in a sim rig!

To summarize: I think the rules for chat should be clarified to keep the chatter quiet during the race (for all racers), and the time after a race is done to allow for more chat, if that is even possible to do in Assetto Corsa.

I’d say just hide your chat app.

Well SURE... you COULD do that, but what's the point of having a rule about chat if there's no way to see if someone is breaking it?! Big Grin

+1 for longer chat times. Actually, longer off-racing session times.

I know the politics about chat and, as far as I know, the reason is to avoid after-race verbal fights. But also the opposite can be true, and often is. I often have great driving shared time with other drivers and I am looking forward to crossing the finish line and complimenting and thanking them for their great and clean racing. So that's something I miss.

Furthermore, in longer events, like for example the 1 hour races, I find after-race time too short. Last week I was driving for one hour the Nordschleife with a McLaren GT3 and wasn't given the chance to even cross the finish line, which I found very frustrating. It's not even about chatting after race, but in these longer events it's a matter of getting to cross the finish line.

Thanks.

Absolutely.

The time after the race is way too short.

Most conversations only go like that:

"Good race"
"Thanks you too"
"Ok cu bye"

Because there is no time for anything else.
