Or maybe have the drivers judged by a panel and TV phone in before each race with daily eliminations... of course the public get the final say with a phone in which results in putting Keith Chegwin & John Sergeant in the cockpit for Red Bull.

Grimes Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Here is a thought, races with rain in them are exciting because the rain ISNT PLANNED.

Rusty_M Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 +1 grimes. That's just the conversation I was having with my significant other last night. It's not a game where you can set rain to "on". The unpredictability along with the harder driving conditions are what makes rain entertaining. How much will it rain? When should they switch tyres etc. The world is going mad. Me? I'm doing fine! http://www.twitch.tv/rusty_the_robot https://www.youtube.com/user/RustyRobotGaming
sungsam Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I don't like the idea of tranforming the F1 to HOTWHEELS DCS F16C 52+ w JHMCS ! DCS AH64D Longbow !
asparagin Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 How much will it rain? When should they switch tyres etc. The start signal should be an electrifying thunder, and at the end, I want sunshine and a rainbow over the finishing line.

bumfire Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Artificial rain = stupid! But what about Todt's idea of electric engines?!! It's hillarious! If they went electric, the speeds would be crazy, seriously. I reckon they would be much faster with electric than they are with normal engines, but whats the point, they would get restricted and slowed down with each new season and each new stupid rule and end up the same speed as combustion engines. I want to see racing cars go 500mph around tracks stuck to the ground like glue and doing moves like the bikes in tron.
MTFDarkEagle Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Yeah electic engines have a very large amount of torque :) However: I would opt for 4 cilinder engines, with 4 turbo's, not electronics like TC, ABS, paddle shifters, etc etc.. 1200-1400 hp with just a wire to the carb, in stead of a wire towards the computer. And another disadvantage to electric engines: You miss the sound :) Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread
