NSGP Online Championship 9

[Alfonso]

Im shocked to see that KERS is most probably win for next season!!!!!

I hope that at least now the persons dont cut the turns so much due to tire wear. Also im kind of curious to see the behavior of KERS with the new physics from 1.34.....still, im very skeptical on this option but....as KOS said, for a change......

Ante Bubić resign!

Too busy guys to drive next saeason, and I only show few times on Season 8, so I will skip this one
Morning races on Saturday is just not possible me now to drive, so have fun to all of you
I had new working schedlue, lots of work in my house, new kid to arrive soon, so no time for NSGP no more..
Btw, somenone vote for me , so I log here to delete that, so that no one thinks that I actually vote..

That's interesting, well the way you voted is mostly how Alex voted, not that i'm accusing anybody. Anyway sad to lose you

Great minds think alike...

Quick OffTopic guys....sorry!

@Alex Where the h#$ is the race review from last 2 races??? No i havent forgoten! Obviously i won both races but still....would be nice to have your review, even if a short one.

And now back to topic....
Ferrari is still anxious with the perspectives for season 9. Will it hold the 2 successful drivers that gave her the first constructors title ever or will not have the arguments to convince them to stay?

We hope to have new developments on the topic soon!

Regarding point 6M: Excluding the first race of the season, the person who won the last GP is not allowed to set a qualifying lap at the following GP

Remember that this does not make sense unless there are collisions. Forcing Afonso to start the race from the back without collisions will add 1-2 second to his total race time .

OK my idea of the track voting is that we can vote for as many tracks as we have votes (e.g. I can vote for 20 tracks). Only 1 vote per track. In case of a tied vote for 20th, the newly appointed president will decide. I will also prepare a trackpack soon with all the necessary tracks available for download. How do you like it?

Edit: Only 1 track may be chosen per country, so that we have e.g. only one Grand Prix of Japan. The best 2nd track in Europe will be nominated as GP of Europe. Any track near Luxembourg may be GP of Luxembourg .

The voting deadline is Tuesday 6th March 11:59PM UK Time

In case of exceeding the limit, I will try to exclude irrelevant votes first. Then I will just exclude from the bottom of the list (in theory, its VERY unlikely I would have to do that).

Approveddd.

VERY good point!!

Good idea! The only person to indicate he's interested in the presidency so far though is Kos!

[Sida79]

VERY good point!!

Really? I thought that was kind of obvious and needed not be further pointed at
U got a more unclear situation with alternating collisions vote... if it would win, would you alternate with or without damage?

Good idea! The only person to indicate he's interested in the presidency so far though is Kos!

True, come on guys... would be lame if the only candidate withdrew and we ended president-less!

[Alfonso]

Ok, so cause i dont like to have only one alternative to vote on, i apply as well for president, just for the fun of it!
I instantly gathered all the necessary signatures to be able to!

[peter-27]

I didn't realise in all honesty!

That's not unclear, the races we have collisions on we will use the data from the collisions on section and the same applied when collisions are off

Added to list in first page

Hmmm....i just realized now. Peter, why dont you apply for stewart? You would be the perfect candidate to it. At least one sure vote you would have!
Cmon!!!! Do it.....

[przemator]

OK guys I have made the track pack. Tracks are numbered 21 to 41. Here it is:

http://grebocin.com/upload/NSGPOC_tracks.zip

I see you're all voting very conservatively. Please, give those tracks a look and maybe let's test them during the weekend. I recommend Imola (Grand Prix of San Marino, the Ferrari track). Let's bring some fresh new tracks to the game, come on!

[Alfonso]

Yeah, i have like 9 votes left cause i still need to try the ones i dont know. Even though i want a change, there are many tracks from the official NSGP that i really enjoy and wouldnt like to get rid of it. But i think its not nice if we change all tracks or the majority. I would say like maximum 5/6 new tracks not more....but thats me. Votes will say something....
As soon as i tested the tracks i will complete my votes. Yeah, lets do it this weekend why not....

EDIT: What the H#% as happened? KERS is loosing at the moment!!!?? It was winning with a big advantage and now puff.... I will stay happy if it stays how it is.
I see that PRZ has changed his vote, so 20 points. I wonder why...he always wants KERS....

[Sida79]

I voted a majority of "new" tracks - not because I favor them over the current ones but because I had a feeling we would not see much of a change happening otherwise

A quick look at the voting:

Race Calendar
What exactly is the superb Przemator track voting form for? Some future elections?

Race Times
It's too bad we cannot please players in different time zones.

Amendment One
Surprised this got only 1 vote. Not saying it's an awesome suggestion or anything, just thought a group of ppl generally have
diverse opinions when it comes to purely matters of taste

Race Distance
Not a fan. Longer races have a lot of charm in the concentration required, the prolonged driving experience and the fact you always have time to mount a comeback. Short races are just straight simple fun. Medium races seemed like a superior option at the beginning (and they were) but now I'm quite bored with them.

Collisions / Alternating
Here I have just one option I would not like to see: COL+DAM. It would've been my top pick with playable lag but I'm hoping foranything other than next year... I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss epic long-lasting multiple player battles from trackmania though, IMHO one of the few things that it has over NSGP and that made it a hit.

KERS
Kers? I loved the way it used to make your car classes better after caching in on a rain gamble but I'm not really sure that remained in the new game version. However, I am a big oponnent of the newly found way of utilizing KERS that requires constant little button presses to retain a speed above maximum even on straights. Why? Purely selfish reasons, I am WAY too lazy to do that over the course of the whole race... so NO Kers for me!

Ribeiro starts tanked - regardless of the voting he should do it, see how it goes. Not like he cannot change his mind after 4 races and just get the usual 16 straight victories in a row until the season finish!

Start Q laps in the info screen order - Surprised this got only 1 vote. Not saying it's an awesome suggestion or anything, just thought a group of ppl generally have diverse opinions when it comes to purely matters of taste The "randomness" of it would at least not make every qualifying session look nearly the same.

Winner No Quali - Love this one. Without collisions it would be useless so I hope to see either no collisions or this!

RPG F1 - 0? No one likes RPG? I'd have so much fun in the role of a driver matching my performance

Amendment two - Ceraj voted on this one probably only because he had it in trackmania and knows how it is. No one else? You should state some downsides to this suggestion at least... worked wonders elsewhere.

Race control - one based on logic? Sure... hit me where it hurts if I deserved it! Otherwise... just awful! So... depending on who gets voted, lol
3 complaints investigated is like damage... would be great if it worked as intended, currently it diminishes the whole thing by a lot.

Anti-favoritism,nepotism&xenophobia rule I guess it's all OK if democratically elected, right?
