I didn't have time to check, can someone say if you can see the brake lights of other cars at night?

I think so

 

[TobiasR]

I forgot how ugly the 430 was compared to the 458

 

[Fab #28]

Probably the reason is that you try to run the fastest possible in the straights with low downforce and it causes oversteer in the chicanes or in last sector welcome in the club

 

[Nox]

I agreed with Tobias, but I meant the looks, not the handling.

@bömii still interested in running an event each week? We have Wednesdays and Sundays open, or Saturdays where we need to run Touring Cars.

+ Improved Lights Download
Track: Paul Ricard (Le Castellet) (Download) - GT Layout

This weekend is the Blancpain Endurance 6 hour race at Paul Ricard! Get into the perfect mood with our own endurance race in the same format.

Practice: 18:00 GMT
Quali: 18:20 GMT (20 minutes)
Warm-up: 18:40 (3 minutes)
Race: 18:45 GMT approx - 80 Minutes (+1 Lap) 1 Pit Stop Mandatory to change at least 2 tyres! You'll probably have to refuel too.

Tyre Wear & Fuel Consumption: Normal
Time Scale: x5
Start: Rolling! Follow the pace car around the lap, no weaving, no overtaking, maintain your speed. This is because the start grid is very tight.
Assists: As in real life, ABS and TC will be available (on low)

Special Notes
Time scale will be x5, which means in an 80 minute race, the game will simulate an entire 6 hours. Assign a button to your headlights, it will get dark towards the end. In game start time 17:00. If after further testing it is considered too difficult to race at night, I will move the start time ahead a little bit. If there aren't enough sign ups, we will reduce the length of the race. Please sign up early and tag your friends so we can make this a great event.

[EireGreen™]

@Beikirch Are you ready for this event?

Gruss

 

[Martin Vindis]

Sorry guys, I'll have to sign off, real life being a bitch Have fun!

 

[Nox]

So guys I am having second thoughts about the night time. It is VERY hard during the night. The headlights just don't light enough of the track up. My initial thought was that it didn't matter, it added to the challenge, but now I don't know.

Can you guys let me know whether you want to risk it and take the challenge, or whether we should just make it all day time? We'll go with the majority decision.

i tried to do some laps at night, but i see absolutely nothing except the marker boards

 

[Nox]

Okay I am just going to call it without a vote, I think it is best. Sadly the game just isn't up to scratch when it comes to night time racing. I will cancel the day/night cycle and we'll run all day time. I think I was too excited to run the event that I didn't take the light situation seriously enough. Sorry. BUT it will still be fun!!

 

[Warren Schembri]

Risky: yes
Worth trying: yes

I dont think that we have had a night race before and until we do, we wont know how it is for people

Edit: Beaten

If it had just been the Mulsanne straight I'd have said lets keep it, but the Porsche curves are nigh on impossible without any light
