I'm not into football, but wouldn't disrespect anyone who does...I wouldn't like it if
they started bad-mouthing the sport
I love :wink:
Having said that, I think it would be ludicrous to move the start time of the race after all the fuss that was made about starting on time. It's just asking for trouble, isn't it? You'll just have to weigh up the relative importance of racing at Monaco on the one hand against watching the match live on the other. Sometimes in life, you just can't have it all.
I think it's more important to discuss race-relevant issues:
- The pit exit: with qualifying being of greater importance in this race, I would like to request that everyone tries even harder to make sure you don't ruin someone's flying lap. We need to drive out and try to stay to the right side of the yellow line (as much as possible) and if a car is approaching T1 on a flying lap, we must STOP if necessary to avoid impeding them.
- During the race: There is very little room for error around the whole track, and close racing is extremely difficult. More care than usual is needed to avoid accidently braking too late when behind. If you're following someone closely (especially someone whose pace you're unsure of), you
must brake earlier than the optimum, until you can learn where they are later or earlier on the brakes than you are.
- Wet conditions: I have tried following closely behind another car in heavy rain, and it's a nightmare! On most tracks there is enough track width to duck out and actually see where you're going, but at Monaco it's just too narrow for that. I found I had to drop back (out of overtaking range) just to be able to see. I might just quit the session if it's very wet, because I don't find this track enjoyable in those conditions.
Please give me your responses, whether you're in agreement or not, but let's keep it constuctive, ok?
By the way, can anyone recommend a gfx setting/mod that improves the way spray is rendered? When following closely in spray there comes a point where suddenly everything goes blurred and if you drop back or move to the side it takes several seconds for the view to SNAP back to decent visibility again...
