Car builds posted gentlemen

Yea, let's keep it dry please.

Also, it's way better to keep adjusting the balance every event, that way we can keep the field diverse. Remember this is only the second event that the new Dev team has been putting out the builds, and on both occasions we have added multiple cars to the grid. It will go faster as we get used to it more, and I've be archiving the builds so that we can just load them up the next time we race at a certain track. As we get more builds, it will also give us more jumping points moving forward.

Do a wet stint, it'll be fun.

Who's going to control track limits (especially in eau rouge) in Qualifying? Because different to other TEC events white lines are now the track limits and not: "whatever, as long as your laps aren't invalidated by forza"

it will have to be done the way we always deal with track limits, if someone see's it happening, they put in an SI for it. all replays will need to be saved for it, and that way we can review any incidents that happen there.

So... you simply say i should wait until the 30th minute and then drive by myself to avoid getting cought I don't say I want to cut, but I think a lot of people will...

Why dont we stick a Independant Person at the top of the hill out the way to check? 

Offer him a BJ im sure hed agree lmao

But in all seriousness somone at the top could be handy

I'm sure we'll figure something out

Ok here's the deal all Qualifying replays will be saved and uploaded ,on Friday I will review ALL replays and any driver seen abusing track limits will be subject to a time penalty added to their teams overall qualifying time.
if you cut by mistake then please lift off so I can see you are not doing this intentionally .

That's nice but it won't help because the quali is 45min long and the replays are only saving 26min (+-5min) so everything that happens after, is out of your control.

Just put the host of the session up there (if they aren't qualifying), they record anything that seems suspicious, then it gets looked at after qualifying

Actually, from what I found while testing the BoP. Often if you end up cutting the top of Eau Rouge too much, the car hops a little bit, and the loss of acceleration would put me slightly in the red.

I saw the same type of result as well while hot lapping.. It almost had me believing that the game was not flagging the dirty lap as dirty because it knew it was a slower line, but then I stopped fantasizing and remembered that the track limit flagging isnt intelligent at all... But either way, my fastest laps have me taking the clean line through radillion.. With that in mind though, I'm sure for some people, their fastest laps will come as a result of exceeding track limits.

So rain or not? Personally I'd like rain, if you learn where the puddles are it really isn't as much of a challenge. Quite easy to be honest after a while.

Well Stavelot is horrible in the rain. There's a stream just from left to right.

I vote dry. The way Spa is, up and down hills, the rivers are everywhere on track and it's a complete nightmare to navigate let alone race competitively... Forza's weather system is too extreme. If only we could combine the pCARS weather system with other aspects of it with forza... #perfect game

Yeah rain doesn't really do much on this game. Aesthetics are good but the gameplay is awful with it.

It's cool for a casual drive, but high-level competitive racing is horrible. Especially when you're stuck in it for 2 hours at a time. P.CARS time, weather, fuel & tyre settings are what we need. Too bad that game can't run online too well

I agree with Blacky - you just can save about 30 minutes. What will you do if somebody cant save the replay? (that happens very often to me) And how you will watch 80 drivers (or more) - 80 x 45 Minutes are 60 hours!

With a few heads skimming through replays it can be done believe me I have done this before ,granted replay time is a issue but if people want to start cheating after 30 mins then so be it nothing I can do .
one thing I will say is if you feel the need to cut to get a good laptimes you are really only cheating yourself .

there is not a need to cut - i really agree with the Spa rules but sometimes it happens that a car drifts in eau rouge or you just miss the entry and then you cut because of a mistake and the time is faster.

With the level of drivers here, it shouldn't happen, but it will because we push the limits... Anyway, mistakes happen but purposefully cutting the track there is a no-no. Maybe if hosts/marshals that are qualifying can park their car in Eau Rouge or Raidillon and watch. If they cut, instruct the driver to drive off-track to decertify their lap and try again? You'd need extra staff for every Q session but this would be effective.
