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:Hi Tim, I saw Martin posted this in the discord, I think that open wheel can be chaotic and clean. First I want to start by saying that an incident rating restriction in my opinion is not a good solution. High incidents in previous series should not affect your ability on future series. I have a friend who did the Tatuus on Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve (Canada GP) and that was a disaster even though previous tracks were not. This led to him having an 8+ incident average if I remember correctly. He has since brought it down to below 4 and is one of the cleanest drivers for his rating. Just remember your incidents average doesn’t change very much after you have a lot of starts, and being involved in a T1 crash and going to the back and racing with not as clean drivers, that has gotten my average up to 2.5 and I can’t lower it but I like to think I am a very clean racer. My conclusion is that I don't think that Incident Average restrictons should exist, at least for the daily series. I think that having a restriction would decrease split sizes and I don't think it's the solution. I really hope this does not go through because I would like to continue to race with my friends who have ~3-5 incident averages as they are both clean drivers, just have been involved in a lot of turn 1 incidents and crash's where the blame falls on the other driver.
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)
