Please Please take another look at an " Abandon Race Option"
Why? I started today with low wears, everything <30%, only 1 thing has 60%, I did not use a lot of risk (15)... but after 16 laps a got a tech.problem...which could not be fixed So 55 laps to go I was just eating car wear for a useless race...
Therefore i would like an option in Race Setup.... - Abandon Race when malfunction that can't be fixes... Yes, if in the first 50% of the race for example
Otherwise this is highly frustrating.
No to mention me pitting 3 times in 5 laps (wet=dry, puncture, fuel :P)

I was about to say this was a horrible idea, but actually, it would save a lot of frustration from both sides if the cars smoking had that option

Just stop watching the race live
at least, completing the race, you get more money. If you leave, you lose money.

Wear is part of the game.

im behind this too, good idea

The live race is a replay of the race results which was executed by a script in the game engine. Therefore, the option you wont cannot be implemented.

Because you then get people saying they didn't mean to click it and it cost them points, cash etc etc.

It is a sensible option that has been discussed before, whats the point of running your car into the ground when it's already broken? None at all, and if it can be implemented it should be. We all know it's not "F1" but would Red Bull say "We know the cars knackered but just keep driving it for the next 50 laps"?

I actually think this would be a good option, as the cars that have a problem with high wear cant drive and are out of the race, so if you have almost no wear on anything, why waste your money and parts if your going to finish near last cause of an unfixable problem. If its early in the race, there should be an option in race setup for like first 50%

It's not that hard to implament, otherwise your statement just contridicts all of the above..

Yes, Would be a nice option to have below the rain options.
"Park the car if there is an irreparable malfunction with more than _ laps left"

i dont think he was on about doing it in race live, i think he was saying there should be an option for it in race set up.

Yep just like the weather forecast. Everyone want's the easy way out. Remember I had 3 true randoms last season ;)
Just because it's easy to implement doesn't make it right.

Manage your wear properly, and you wont have this problem. You would be removing a part of the game which tests the managers skill.

Everyone has to deal with them ;)

yeah but if you have them and is so far behind it would be the same for everyone i don,t see the point the people against are making.

The idea is a brilliant idea, but if its a decision made during the race it gives an unfair advantage to those who can watch the race, over those who can't, unless the option is such that you tick a box and say don't retire if 10 laps or so remain e.t.c
|
|
|
:) I took the advance of it :)
It is only usefull in Rookie, in higher classes you won´t tick the box as you get less money when not completing the race.

Yes but it doesn't make any sense to drive a broken car around a track for 50+ laps does it?

you are in rookie, that is high risks most of the time over there
Quote ( Niels Wolters @ May 13th 2011,22:54:17 )
Otherwise this is highly frustrating. if you had run no risks....you might even have gotten that this race...it's all about knowing and experience on wear. a lot of those so called randoms I see showing up aren't always just randoms....high part wear causes high chance on failure, simple as that to my mind.
anyway just my thoughts, but who am I to question it

There are times when you might need to try & limp to the finish & there are times when you wouldn't so it gets my vote to have a retirement option. After all you are the manager so you steer the team towards its best overall interests.
*Although I think that if you pre-meditate going into a race with the intention of retiring then you should pay the price with your sponsor & staff motivations

Just because it's easy to implement doesn't make it right. An easy implament, or a common sensed implament? I don't see how anyone can find any sanity of forcing a car to keep going even when the car is basicly at it's end.
Ideas are meant to move us forward, not drag us back into arrogance, by pushing a car to it's limits even though it can't go any further, if it's gone to it's best ability and can no further improve it's position or carry on at the same pace and your falling back too much then you might aswell retire the car, save on parts that can go further for the next race and rethink your stratgegy, it's common sense, Considering this is a strategic game...

Disagree with this, as helpful as it would be.
It offers opportunity to specific race pushers, and puts favourite track into play even more. I don't support this form of racing.
