A number of times especially in endurance races there has occurred a situation where a driver is faster than a guy 1 lap ahead (simple eg. he is on new tyres after a pit stop and the other guy's tyres are bushed), and so is trying to unlap himself and move on at his own pace. The problem is, if he were to get in front of the other person, he maybe doesn't have enough speed to escape the blue flag and potential S&G penalty, so has to throttle off and sit behind them.
This quite frankly is a rubbish situation, and it becomes even more complex when several drivers are involved ... and when it lasts an hour as it once did for me, its frustrating as hell :frusty:
So ... here's a thought I had the other week and forgot to post until now. When setting up a dedicated server, you can either have flag warnings set to all, or just black.
Now overtaking on yellow flags doesn't seem to make any difference, so the only other flag that I think this can effect is blue flags.
Corner cutting is S&G and/or black flag material if done too often and stops not performed so I pose 2 questions ...
1. Does anyone know whether this would work and if it would in essence effect just the blue flags
2. If this would solve this issue (and the blue flag start line issue at some addon tracks), then should or could we run it on some servers.
BTW ... my guess is that the blue flags are still shown, but S&G's not given, and if a driver has grievance under blue flags here at RD, then they deal with in the normal complaints way.
Intrigued to hear others' thoughts and if anyone knows how this works exactly, if so it would help alleviate this very frustrating situation ... :eat:
