I'm going to give my thoughts on the respawns/norespawns in GP as i had decided not to compete in season 7 because i got so fed up of not finishing in season 6 . This is a purely personal view , if you come off in a gp you immediatley suffer a penalty (time wise) in the process of re-spawning but your still in with a chance of finishing albeit further down the field.I may have played this game for a long time but i still am always making mistakes, after last season i came close to packing it in altogether.. so i urge you to re-consider on respawns surely the more finishers the better and i.m sure it wont effect who wins and who doen't. Spanky asked me to take part in season 7 and i'm going to respawns or not,and i,m looking forward to it ,i just hope it's not as frustrating as last season Smile

Okay I can see where your coming from Steve it can be very annoying to sit out races after crashing so how's about this for an idea, we could reduce the number of checkpoints on a track. It would create a reasonable punishment for crashing and allow those that crash to continue racing for points. We could have 2 cp's on a large tack and only the start/finish checkpoint on short tracks it would mean that the track builders would need to create two versions of each track, one for normal use and one for the GP's but hopefully it would be just a case of taking out the cp's after the tracks been built?

Is it any good as a way forward because I'm sure we don't want to see anyone pulling out of the GP's especially someone as long standing as Steve.

Also thanks for coming forward to share your thoughts steve it's much easier to have a debate over the rules if everyone makes their thoughts heard. If your lurking out there reading this, make a post and get your views heard.

Well, I don't wanna spoil the debate or something, but I think especially for the top-ten guys in a GP, the disabled respawn's add a lot to the excitement. Even if guys like Bboy get an advantage of about 50 points after two weeks in the general standings, they're still catchable because they can turtle or fly out. If there's a respawn, the results of the first ten drivers are more predictable as they are yet.

On the other hand, drivers will go for more risk if there are enabled respawns. So respawning could cost them time they normally don't loose if they dont respawn and drive more carefully. But - if they after all still don't need a respawn but drove risky as hell, the finishing of those at the end of the field gets even harder.

Conclusional I like disabled respawns and wouldnt tell you to turn them on again , but I understand your problem sosteve Confused

well, just my personal thoughts conferring respawns - I dont care so much , I'd drive the season with respawns as well Very Happy

Personally I don't take more risk if I knew the respawns are on, I'd just be happy I could respawn and go on if I crashed

With respawn, a big crash will make you lose a few positions, without respawn a big crash will take you out of the race, either way the tables will be pretty much the same in my opinion - not entirely predictable but you can expect certain names at the top.
I guess you shouldn't decide on yes or no respawns by looking at what will least benefit the top, but at what most benefits the slower drivers

last night on R-350 Sabre was quicker than me, sure, but he respawned 3-4 times. I was taking it easy to acclimatise for the new rules *cough.
He tapped out eventually when he realised he'd ran out of time to pass me yet again.
Conclusion: steady does it for Season 7 if you want to score points every week.

Personally for me the GP’s are better with the respawns switched off, I know I’m not one of the fastest racers but I’m consistent and do not crash often.

If anybody's still needing a team skin and doesn't have the inclination to do one themselves just let me know I've got half a dozen lying around.
