The good parts about iRacing (I'm done ranting now)
After visiting my friend doing the free trial again, I did notice that
the drivers are quite courteous, at least with the rookie Soltice events, so the SR factor seems to be helping. I think it would help more if its formula was actually explained. For NR2003, laps per incident is easy to figure out, except that it was a running average based on the last "?" number of races. If "?" was 20 races, and you had a really bad race, then it would take 20 races to wipe away that bad race. I don't recall the actual number anymore. Another thing that seems to help with the rookie Soltice is that unless there's a huge difference in skills, the closing rate between cars is fairly small. So although the Rookie Soltice is boring, it probably cuts down on the incidents, and after messing with it, I can see where the relatively long time spent in corners can help teach control inputs. An alternative to this could be a circular or figure 8 skid pad, which are also used in driving schools. Perhaps implementing a driving school feature, similar to LFS, would be a nice addition down the road. Next time we'll try Ian Lakes setup for the SRF to see if it can be tamed to be driving by mere mortals. |

Yeah, but you can still **** the braking up. Low powered motor sport has its fair share of incidents. |
