Title: Race of champions
Post by: Ricardo Costa on November 25, 2011, 03:48:20 PM
Hi all...
I am following the rotax max grand finals taking place at Al Ain Raceway and I had the idea of organising a similar race to end this year...
Many of us are students and we have holidays in christmas so that would be the best time to do this race.
I't just my opinion.. what do you think about it?

It's great to organise a race, but we have to wait until beta 5 I think.

I think it's better to wait 'till beta 5 too.

There's nobody who knows it. Beta 4 is out for a month now I think. So it'll take some time I think.

Probably not before 2012... the idea of the race i proposed was to end this racing year. Like the "World Cup"
What is the problem of racing with beta 4?

for me it's the lag

The other karts have a huge lag, which makes close driving and overtaking impossible without crashing.

Oh, i see... Inoticed that yesterday while playing online. Will that be improved?

close racing and passing or being passed is not impossible you just have to play fair.  respect the guy behind you if u mess up. give space.
We should have tournament.  with regions (like EUR, North America, South America, Asia)to lower lag.
then the top drivers face off.  that race will proabably lag but it would only be 3-5 drivers

A tournament like the real race of champions (which took place this weekend in Düsseldorf) should be possible though and it would add that live 1 on 1 competitive factor, without the need of wheel to wheel racing.
If we had an ROC like track (they do exist for rfactor).

The track does fit karts better anyway, I think this could be good fun.

very good idea :) who convert it? :D

Good idea - I like it. :) But I guess it will be difficult to realize with the actual lap timing system of KRP.

Why? The ROC track isn't that complex.

I know nothing about 3d modelling. But the race can start in one side of the finish line (Wheel to wheel) and complete 1 lap everytime you pass in that side you started. What do you think?

converting ROC 2008 track would be an awesome idea!!!
Title: Re: Race of champions
Post by: Schwoni on January 16, 2012, 07:38:25 PM
the problem is the centerline because for so tracks the centerline cut itself u know? i`m not sure if it would work.

Yeh, it makes sense, since you cross the track...
Have you guys heard of the ERDF Masters Kart?
It is very similar to ROC but it's in Karting

Here's an youtube Video of one race

i have converted but can`t get it to work, i think the problem is the centerline and the tunnel.

Schwoni has this track, but the rfactor version was never the best quality. 
I t would be nice to use my Senna and Prosts paints there

How was the centerline problem solved in amsterdam?
Title: Re: Race of champions
Post by: Schwoni on January 19, 2012, 02:10:32 PM
it is only one part so it work, i think the problem are the splits in ROC track maybe it work i don`t know we have to try. But i`m very busy ATM so don`t wanna convert that. U can dop if u want and we could give it a try maybe we can get it work.
Title: Re: Race of champions
Post by: Nitrox on January 19, 2012, 02:29:45 PM
I'm quite busy until end of next week too... If it is already converted i could try to do a centerline and stuff, but i sadly have no time for more time consuming stuff at the moment.
