Hello,

How many S1 racers are there actually on Race 1? I find it a shame I can't drive the XFG on the short Aston configs on Race 1, would be great! Is it really worth it keeping the server in S1 mode?

Thanks for reading,

Gil

i do sorta agree with it in some ways, maybe have it set to s2 most of the time and s1 during a certain time if thats pos

i was wondering same thing .. if u do server search s1 servers are actualy empty

+1 for the race 1 server to feature s2 tracks.

guess there rarely are s1-licensed people

+1

As ^ sais, there are not many S1 lisenced drivers on the race 1 server anyway, so why not upgrade it to a S2 server with 32 cars racing grids too? If it were changed to a S2 server it could have a lot of more tracks, bigger field and such. I know that someone mention that the grid size was limited to 20 by a reason, but a popular server where it actually could be great 32 racers fields would be very good

Please?

I agree with above.

me too

+1. there isn't a way for an S2 server running S1 cars and tracks to automaticly be moved to S1 mode is there? and how many people are S1 lisenced only anyway?

..Not many, therfor I think it would be great if becky could take a look on it But I aswell understand what they said last time, about the Tier1 and such. Race 1 server is for the new people to CTRA servers, and the S1 cars and tracks are a good starting point for further development in skills
But I still think we could have S1 cars, and just all tracks and 32 cars starting grids

S1 does allow 32 cars to start. We just are not stupid enough to enable 32 car grids on our entry level server. No offence, but you guys still crash on 28% of the laps you try to complete, putting 32 cars and more tracks to learn isn't going to help that any.

Show me you can drive, proove me wrong, and i'll consider some other way of supporting S1 users and switching Race 1 to S2.

I gues you are right about that. When races are full there are now allready crashing a lot of people in turn 1 and 2. There is not much room for sliding cars when you go through a corner with 3 cars next to each other.

S2 tracks would be cool. I think AS1 is a nice track for the race 1 server.

People still crash horrible when there is only 3-4 cars races, just look race2 server lol
Anyway, I don`t think the number is wrong, it`s the people. I still think 32 cars field is a good thing, because it`s like I said not the number of people that are racing that is the problem, it`s the driver / style itself that is wrong. People need to learn that 3 cars side by side in T1 is going to end up ugly.

If it was up to me I would make it 10 cars, max :biggun:



Seriously, out of every ten laps that an average racer does while on the CTRA servers they will crash on 3 of those laps. Put Just 3 people on the server and you could theoretically have someone crash almost every lap of the race, I think the last thing people need is more people to bump into on race 1 =P

get what you mean but it can be annoying not getting in the race, i find i get a higher place by hanging back at t1 than going in normally, if only everyone did a similar thing

Yea, it would be fun if actually people was taking it easy in T1. But a lot of people sees this as an oppertunity to gain some positions, and therfor drive like maniacs in hope of gaining some positions

thats why aston and kyoto are good with their wide corners and big stoping zones and grass. in city tracks t1 is usualy too tight to even fir 3 cars in it going side to side, on aston 5 cars can go (not in ideal line) but still they wont go off road

what about makingit 32 at weekends when RACE is FUll 8 cant join) thing is cousing lot of troubles ?

This still doesn't solve the problem of having too many n00bs on the track and especally on the weekends it would make it worse

There will allways be n00bs, undepending on how many there is in race. Like I said, 4 cars can easely manage to crash themself, so it`s the drivers, not the numbers.
It could be worth a try or?

You increase the chance of an accident when you increase the number of players racing.

Take the average accident rate on CTRA, 28%. put two average drivers on the track and there could be 6 laps with an incident in a ten lap race, giving way to 4 laps that are clear of issues. Add another driver the chance of an accident goes from 6 laps to 9 leaving 1 lap free. Add yet another driver you will have an accident every lap plus 2 laps having 2 incidents.

This 28% means that for every driver 3 out of ten laps will have an accident. So if you add 30 people in a 10 lap race you are going to have 90 incidents occuring during that session on average. Whereas if there are only 3 people there is only going to be 9. This is why we cannot add more drivers to the server, it compounds the problem.

even if there are no more racers the at least s2 for the tracks

I think the yellow flag ratio is so high because mid-race joiners, it gives you a yellow flag if mr-joiner joins the race from the pit with low speed to give room for faster cars. Thats why it is so high.

I would like to see the Race1 with 32 players and S2 tracks.

yeah if i slow down offline to let faster people through then i get yellow flagged

At some tracks, not all, you get a yellow flag as you leave the pits. This is nothing compared to the quantity of yellow flags.

Is it counted when you get yellow flags after the race by stopping on the track? I think that makes a big difference (too).
