Title: Special race Event Suggestion List.
Post by: Napalm Nick on May 16, 2015, 06:59:39 PM
Just a few ideas for Special Events:

• Hold a race where 2 strokes and 4 strokes race together in one event.  Done 2 so far
• Hold a special event race of 50 laps.... A sort of endurance race.
• Tribute Races Joey Dunlop Tribute 15 year Memorial Race
• Road Races Joey Dunlop Tribute 15 year Memorial Race
• SSp600 vs STK1000
• Scooter Races on IOM - maybe just one lap then  ::)
• Supermoto and er... Chopper races
• SSP600 vs. 250cc two stroke
• STK1000 vs. 500cc two stroke
• Possible 2 rider/1 team Endurance race
• Identical bikes including setup
• Moto3 vs 125cc two stroke
• NO ASSISTS /Onboard Only Racing - Double points!
• Wet Race Done 2 so far (and a Dynamic test)
• Gp250 vs Moto2 Done 2 so far
• Real weather settings Practice sessions use Real weather so far
• DST, No assists, helmet view - Triple points!
• Rookie races
• Longer Races for Hard Tyres and strategic shenanigans
• More GP style races




keep suggesting....

co-op race , 2 riders = a team , 1 rider do 12 laps and come in pit , at this moment the second can do the 12 last laps

Thanks Guigui,

I thought about this kind of endurance race before but how will it start? It will have to be organised to race in a practice session as it wont work in a GPBikes Race session.
I think it could be arranged but I fear it may be too complicated for people to understand.

We must think on it.

What about real weather for any race events held? Real weather data is easily available on the internet and wouldn't take much to set the server to the actual real weather for the event.... Personally this would make the races a lot more interesting to ride in.  ;)

If you decide this is a good idea, then best to test to see if the full length replay of rain races save properly, and I'm presuming the issue with the rain spray will be sorted out for beta 7?  ;)

We can try Hawk. 
We can try.....

So far if I select real weather on the server it seems to randomly change track and air temp per event.   Is it supposed to do anything else?

Just thought I'd add a suggestion to one already mentioned in your list Nick, for those brave enough to race with DST:

• DST/NO ASSISTS /Helmet View Only Racing - Triple points!

Riding DST with helmet view only and no assists is so difficult that I think triple points would be only fair if your giving double points to cockpit view no assists riders. Plus this maybe will give some encouragement for others to give DST and Cockpit view only a try?  ;)

When I said real weather, I was talking about looking up on the internet what the local weather is at the race event location and setting the real weather conditions in your GPB server the same: Wind strength and direction/Rain(Heavy/Light/Torrential)/Temp/Sunny/Cloudy, etc, etc.....

Not sure if that would still randomly change the settings you input as you say above? Maybe a bug? Don't know....  :-\

Would be good to fully test this in the test event to see if it works well.  ;)

DST Triple points gets my Vote  8) Lead the way Klax  ;)

I think the realistic weather setting just picks one at random at the start of a session. I just had Practice and Qually in the Wet and a Dry race! I like that randomness! Wasn't long enough sessions to see if the rain stopped and the track dried etc. But good.

Must dig out the forecasts for 1978.....lol.
