i can't find it :s

by LMR Sahara Fri 31 Jan 2014 - 13:47

I thought the limit was 64? and it depends on the amount of spaces avalible in the pit garage/Grid slots, also Ive seen a 64 player kart race on youtube on PCARS, I can link it if you want

I read
"hopefully they have at least 55 allowed at Bathurst because that would be a fun way to commit virtual suicide"
Can I see the link to the 65 car race?

64 cars, fair enough tho

Looking at the car list and if its stable 64 car online we could actually do an accurate Nurburgring 24Hr race with lots of class's (GT3,GT4,GT5,Touring Car,Megane Trophy,Clio Cup,Road Cars)

by theboomeranga Wed 5 Feb 2014 - 9:51

that would be magical
two lobbies Wink

128 cars, so say 384-512 people (3-4 people per car) hahaha

sorry if this sounds a bit harsh but you have no idea how the mulitplayer will work in consoles, I doubt it will do all the above I suggest watching shift 2 replays and options will give you a understanding of how the game may look like, the handling has yet to be sorted which is way more important than the way it looks, I have seen a lot off ppl getting hyped up for this game, I hope it deliveries but dont put all your eggs in 1 basket, Im still waiting on rfactor2 final build Wink

by CQR Myles Wed 5 Feb 2014 - 9:57

You would still have to use the current stop after 1-2 hour method

by theboomeranga Wed 5 Feb 2014 - 10:04

I know Duncan, I'm not but if it delivers then goodbye Forza
if not, i'll probably still play it, but yeah

With respect I've done my homework and spoken to some leading members mentioning TORA and what is does and has done (like the Motors TV races). I got the response

I think you and you’re racing league compadres will like the online functionality, though. To have the best online/league racing experience on consoles yet is one of the main focuses of the game.

they also seem pretty upbeat about the handling mechanics being added in the future and enforce the only difference between the PC and console versions are the graphics, I will continue to probe for answers though. I know it's also their duty to promote the game as well but it doesn't hurt to plan ahead, I mean we're only throwing ideas around on what we could do on the information we have.

It does look good but yes, don't put all your eggs in one basket... I think we learnt that from Forza 5 Razz

While it may be a solid game in many aspects, just one overlooked feature could leave it all crashing down.

I look forward to seeing what the final product will be, at least. Of all the sim racers recently that aren't GT or Forza, this looks the best. Many games lack the level of immersion a racing game should have... Forza has a fantastic sense of speed and the sound effects amplify that, something GT lacks.

If pCARS can shake off the disconnectedness that I felt like Shift had, it'll be fantastic. Hopefully the helmet cam will be less sick-inducing too Razz

Will there/is there Oculus support?

As much as I respect that, but from my understanding here (now correct me if I'm wrong) and I'm sure you know this as well, SMS (Slightly Mad Studios) has moved a long way since the Shift series, now they're working for themselves, and the hardcore racers, not EA. bounce

Same studio that brought us GTR2 and GT Legends. They definitely appreciate the needs of the sim racer.

On that subject... GT Legends anyone?

by CQR Myles Wed 19 Feb 2014 - 11:02

I've been told there is a restrictor option for engine & turbo power and maybe adding weight, that will be useful for balancing.

by LMR Sahara Mon 21 Apr 2014 - 14:05

Wow I forgot all about this haha. Ill get the tally updated later today guys thanks!

by MotoYeti Mon 21 Apr 2014 - 15:23

Moravia - Brno (I've raced here in real life on a motorsickle, it's rad)

2013 McLaren 12C GT3 (coz it's a great car and would suit Brno)

by CQR Myles Mon 21 Apr 2014 - 16:31

Its not an endurance race but how about a TORA BTCC race Weekend?
BTCC (obviously)
Renault Clio Cup
Formula Ford
Ginetta Super Cup
RUF UK GT3 Championship Cool

Ginetta Juniors

by LMR Zakspeed Mon 21 Apr 2014 - 17:27

I would be ALL over those Ginetta's Very Happy

by CQR Myles Mon 21 Apr 2014 - 17:35

Did I forget to mention the Ginetta G55 GT4 has been added to the car list today?

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Mon 21 Apr 2014 - 18:01

Sorry to be a buzzkill, but IMO, any talk of racing anything on any game, esp on XBone, should wait until said game is actually released and thoroughly tested. This would help make sure that it can be utilized in the standards that we have grown accustomed to in TORA's FM4 events.

by CQR Myles Mon 21 Apr 2014 - 18:20

We already can see and know whats coming the development is open(ish), that and there are already league races on PCARS and answers are a forums post away from being answered unlike Forza 5 where everything was hidden until we bought the game
