    Havent done any lap time comparisons but wouldnt think so, at least not properly. Would expect the gte to be quicker but perhaps a good driver in a gt2 could have a decent race against a mediocre player in a gte

    My sick mind would love to see some "new" tracks made with less work to do. What i mean? So, we can drive the Nordschleife, how about a small update and include the "Steilstrecke"? Hockenheim could also have more versions. I hate the new layout, and would love to chase the Gr5 cars in slipsteam battles along the Waldgerade. Include the Bus-stop in SPA and older versions of Monza for the FR90 cars.

    With just 124 hours, I think the biggest improvement (long-term), is creating competition between players. This will spur a personal growth and within the community; snowball effect for the company and content.

    The best time that I have, is when I find someone very close to my abilities (lap time). Competition gets fierce and it's a lot of fun. Although you experienced drivers may not think it's much, but it's new blood that keep fueling the changes in the game for the good ($).

    For instance:


    Raceroom can have a server dedicated for beginners & Rookies qualifying for the week (+training), and selects those within a half second (?) of each other. Invite them (32 ?) to a weekly "Saturday Off" in which 3/4 of the finishers move on to week 2 for VPR points (10-5-3-1). Those that didn't participate recently or previously, get first shot (keep fair and inclusive). All podium finishers compete in a year end run-off for points.

    To me the VRP points are second, as the competition will be the main stay.

    There is a lot you can do with this (adjustments), it just depends on the business model that Raceroom is using.

    UI:
    - More stats after a race. A list of finishing times for each driver is not enough, but even a simple CSV file with each drivers' lap time after each lap would be nice.
    - Keep delta working even when I ran a bit wide and got my lap time invalidated.
    Other/AI:
    - Some love for endurance racing. I guess more features are coming in the future, but AI needs some work too: right now they don't seem to have any strategy at all and just pit when they are low on fuel/tires (often doing only one thing instead of both refuelling and tire change).

    As a newcomer to simracing (loving it so far). I would love to see a clear progression path for novices. Have joined a rookie league that is working well, some close racing with drivers of similar ability. So a better ranking system, to match similar drivers would be very welcome for me, and I suspect a lot of other newcomers.

    Sector3 updates schedule announcements with enough time. a Post with a calendar.

    Last 2 months were 7 updates only 2 previously announced.

    While RR servers are in maintenance mode, would it be nice to allow user to practice in singleplayer mode.

    1 FFB Big subject, a single base setting across all cars with only strength adjustment in car set up needed, this is not the case for me now, old physics v new for example,
    2 Driver change
    3 Driver/Position on screen and door

    This isn't always possible. Big updates will have a planned release date but they can be pushed back sometimes due to unforeseen circumstances. Small patching updates are done as needed to address any arising issues and in preparation for esports for example.

    Since the full game has to communicate with the server it would be difficult to allow SP during this maintenance period without some kind of wholesale change. I agree that it isn't ideal by any means.

    My other vote is for:
    • A career mode, achievement system or both. (clear x amount of laps gold, silver, bronze). Qualifying/setups/tyre management/pit strategist etc.
    • Premade championships/seasons that turnover and log results and include teams. Cherry on top would be a 2 player(1x ai driver) hotseat with your team selection.
    • A dynamic weather system / including transitional track and ambient temperatures.

    The UI needs a serious overhaul, i thought when the new car set up showed up that the rest would follow shortly after ? And all the online part also could be improved : possibility to quickly set up a server from the online lobby menu and invite friends, spectate when retiring to pits, manual cool down lap...

    It's absolutely great that new content and gameplay refinements are constantly coming but i thing that now is the time to really push RRE to the next level, it's starting to show its age now (graphics, UI, online possibilities)
