i think it should be removed completely because it is unrealistic, impractical, and sounds like crap. No one would ever do this on every shift in real life.

Quote from deggis :

Throttle cut and blip should be removed, immediately. It should be a car feature and not a driving aid (makes the "No arcade modes, no steering aids - YOU have to do the driving" slogan kinda funny). Not only it's unrealistic but the sound that comes from flat shifting destroys ears.

agree wholeheartedly

Completed the test,

Conclusions: (Applying to XRT on BL1 only) Lap times are at least .5 seconds faster, (as someone previously stated) with throttle cut disabled. Meaning you can't have a good sound without jeopardizing lap times :/

not sure if this is the right forum but i found this neat little video.

Quote from Goop :

By having throttle-cut set to off, you just do your own lifts. The less aids you have 'on', ultimately, the more control you have - much like doing your own 'blips' can control the car's attitude under brakes.

I think turbo cars benefit the most [from flat-shifting]; the turbo stays spooled up and on-boost. I haven't had it on since S1, and back then, there was a substantial differrence I suggest you do some tests

i am currently half way through a test. I raced about 20 laps on bl1 with the xrt and throttle cut enabled. I took this average time and now, am going to repeat the process with throttle cut disabled

Yes i used the search button and found a thread about this but it seemed to refer more to real life situations than what i want to know.

Will throttle cut on upshifts slow you do at all in the sim? I mean, will it stop you from getting 1.24s on bl1. I love the sound that is a result of the throttle cut but do not want to jeopardize lap times.

i don't know if its worth it to post here anymore but i would really like to see at least one muscle car. ford mustang, ac cobra etc.

New technology from Audi: no-wheel drive.

hilarious, laughing out loud.

i'll throw in a similar one.

"Look ma, no wheels!"

Quote from h3adbang3r :

Just today I had my CRAZIEST finish ever, coming out of T3 on the last lap, Rich Lgg taps me sending me into the wall, my car bounces off and hits him, spinning, im still going, but ~70 km/h slower than the cars behind me. Another car hits me from behind, spinning both of us, and even more cars come in and get collected in the mess. I get hit again and it sends me across the finish line, and about 60 feet behind me, another car gets hit even harder and almost steals away 2nd place from me.

wrong replay there huh?

Queer Eye for the Formula Guy

i'm not the poster of the picture but this is the winner

in real life (when you are driving on the highway for a long time and then get off at an exit and start to drive at 30-40 mph again) it is called velocitized. It might affect the way you drive slower cars but with me, its just the fact that i don't feel like i'm going fast at all.

Quote from mcintyrej :

You do know thats a girls fleece don't you?

lol thats EXACTLY what i was going to write.

Guy on right "I think i see T1 up ahead!! We're almost there!"

it would most likely suck

oh i believe you alright

Is there an estimated time that they will arrive back on the server list?

edit: no luck in search..

Quote from wheel4hummer :

Well, I don't actually *need* behind-the-wheel lessons. But, it is required by the state of virginia that you take them. Classroom drivers education is all that I needed to learn the rules. I already know how to drive a car. I have never hit anything or anyone by accident (only on purpose).

exactly, i took classes that reviewed the rulebook that everyone got but no behind the wheel instruction

Quote from Bawbag :

there's no way i'm driving in America with people who pass without 1 lesson.

I agree with you and others' statements concerning the fact that there are too many people on the roads that can't drive. I've been around cars all my life and have been driving tractors, go karts and other machines since i was 4 years old. Because of this, i was already an experienced driver, i didn't need lessons to teach me how to parallel park or make a 3- point turn . I don't know how it works in Europe, but in America, when you turn 16 you get a permit and this allows you to drive with a licensed, over 18 year old in the car with you. I spent many many hours driving with parents or family members in order to get accustomed to traffic driving. Thats why i didn't need lessons

New line through the turn

this one made me chuckle, winner
