The reporting system just doesn't seem to have had the desired effect in the years I've been here in open wheel racing, the racing discipline just isn't there. I'm not promoting any of these options myself, or wanting any as a "blanket" approach to all open wheel series. Just trying to get a consensus, or find other ideas that we could try one of these options in one series, and see if it brings better racing.(09-20-2020, 02:35 PM)Tim Masson Wrote: I gave up on SRS open wheel racing a while back... I enjoy it, but I'm not the fastest, so always seem to end up behind some lap 1 melee... Anyway, we need some sort of criteria to make it work in SRS. I think we need one or more of the following methods (not all possible in AC/SRS) to make open wheel racing "work" nicely:I don't agree with any of the suggestions from the poll- there should be entry level series where people can make mistakes and learn and if not get reported for it. If someone is driving stupidly and not learning they can be reported and their incidents reviewed. I do understand where you're coming from, especially on nights some back marker tries to defend during blue flags, but we have the ability to submit incidents for review and pm drivers directly to clear up issues.
Worth a discussion / vote? [from Discord chat]
- Driver inc. rate limit
- Driver rating limit
- Enforce yellow flags
- Pre-qualification races / series (ie completion and score criteria // eg before competing in a F1 race you must have completed 1 F3 series)
Worth a vote?
Keep in mind, I'm referring to the entry level open wheel series (tatus, F3, Tark etc). The current F1 (Formula Hybrid) does have a rating limit and either suggestion 1 or 2 would be fine for these kinds of series where there is only 1 race a week. I don't think any of the daily series should have these requirements.
I'm concerned adopting any of these will make SRS feel more like league racing in iRenting.
