How about making double-points for Indy 500 in GPRO? It would add some more excitement to this race! Nah, how about a Le Mans style 24 hour race :D
Now this is something I'd be interested in

I know the current engine supposedly would not be to kind on such a long lap race but I do wonder if the new engine in development with its sections would be better, I personally would love a Le Mans & old Nurburgring even the isle of man track.
I would not want them or these 500 speedway often but I like the odd one thrown in every no and again.
get all the top tracks of Motorsport 4 wheel or otherwise
EDIT: I might not watch a 24 hour race tho, definitely just check the results lol

Quote ( Mark Witney @ June 13th 2018,00:57:35 ) 180 laps for a ***blasted*** puncture, give me a forum ban cos that's ***gentleman's testicles***, Oh and bye bye sponsor
No different from a puncture after 72 laps in an 80 lap race. or after 54 laps in a 60 lap race, for example.
And fortunately a puncture is a true random so the impact on current sponsors is minimal.

I wonder how the guy who won M2 is feeling , he had a first lap pit and still won

I was first with 26 laps left with the biggest lead in racing history ;) , my engine started to smoke. In the last corner i was passed by one car. Finished 2nd. So much fun an exciting, to bad it wasnt 199 laps :)

Soo much fun. I got a 5th place with 5 stops, whereas all the others were on 3 or 4 stops.
Felt kinda like Shumi in France gp 2004

Definitely fun!
Too bad I couldn't afford complete engine change solely for this race after just one race in the season though.

I haven't actually said otherwise I simply asked what extending the length of the race has added to the game?
Quote ( Lee Ifans @ June 13th 2018,01:36:38 ) Yeah, yeah it's a resource management game etc. but it needs to evolve. We have a 200 lap oval race now, why not bring in contact, bring in cautions and safety cars, bring in live leagues. We are playing the same game as 10 years ago with a few minor bells and whistles. Let's encourage more stuff like this.
I absolutely agree with you but I don't think that simply extending the length of a race adds anything. Contact, cautions etc, etc could be a step forward certainly.

At 200 laps, there are actually strategy decisions to be made at this race, that alone makes the change feel worth it.
Its no longer just plug in tyre wear and choose the least possible pitstops strategy. Fuel and even TCD can actually have an effect now.
Isnt that a good thing?

in the case of Indy I think it did add to the game , but have no more to add in that aspect to what MG has put :)

This is what ruined it for me, 99% wear on engine after 2 races. Simply cannot afford to change engines 1 race into the calendar.
Otherwise I think it was an interesting change to the game and I think more change should be encouraged.

I actually quite enjoyed watching that race.
Although it wasn't much different from any other race, the strategies that came into play were really interesting to watch. Personally, watching my 3 stop try and fend off two 4-stoppers who were thriving off eachother's slipstream was actually quite tense.
I know a lot of people are pissed at this race. Over half of my teamates got bullshit thrown at them too. But I do think this was a good change. Like MG said somewhere, this race has always been just throw hoever much risks you can at the least possible stops.

"it is unlikely that any race should exceed 280L of fuel"...ya, right...there where around 700 l (8 stops x 90 l)

That's a fair point although I'd suggest that it's the time for a pit stop that is king at the Indy Oval but it's also nice to see someone actually respond to my question of what does it add.
Thank you :)

I've edited this bit in Wiki so it should not confuse newbies any more.

At 200 laps, it doesn't take much before TCD starts making more pitstops actually the quicker option.
A TCD of merely 0.25 secs now adds up to 50secs over the course of the race for example, coupled with the difference in fuel loads now being much more pronounced between strategies, in cooler races especially, (and likely the higher tiers with their quicker standstill times), things are certainly no longer as cut and dry as they use to be.
Not to mention the very real potential gain from running CT's. What use to not be much of a difference in CT choice as well as wobble times, now can really make substantial differences due to the sheer distance being covered during the race.

This was good race. Finaly here was some strategy in oval. and some possibility to get out of any traffic by using different strategy.

I was a bit esceptical about this race. Ovals are normally races where you know you won't perform if you can't or aren't willing to push. With Indy being at R2, my plan was not to push in order to be able to do both testings and R1 and R2 without replacing the engine.
As such, normally I wouldn't have enjoyed the race and maybe I wouldn't have even watched it. However, it turned out quite different. Despite I didn't perform, as expected, watching the race was quite fun. I don't even know why, because the results, besides smoking and randoms, were basically set after just a few laps. But there was some primitive basic thing that made me enjoy watching the cars at full speed. It was nice.

I really enjoyed it=) even if driver was sick in helmet during lap 133:( losing me 9 finishing positions from 4th....
As has already been stated, it adds a great deal to the game. It was a great event both visually and the length of the show, I look forward to the next and hope 1 or 2 more races are lengthened. It added significantly more depth to strategies as the extra 120 laps impacted a number of variables nicely.
Great change! Thanks

Something I will say though... @admins
Is the chance of random (pure random) decided on a lap-by-lap basis, or race-by-race?
If the first, that could do with being reduced for the longer circuits, or changed.

You have to do your homework before the season start to tackle this kind of economic problems.
Beside that, we are all in the same boat!

The change didn't increase engine wear any higher than what it would've been on the old 80lap race version.

I loved it, it was the first time I lapped the entire field.
When I got home from work, I walked right into the kitchen and drank the last of the milk in front of my family and slammed my empty glass on the counter and walked out.
