It seems that we needed outside force to push Presto to new direction. Inevitable, we knew this 3 years ago.
In my opinion, we need to individually to stop caring about results for a while. First safety, then speed. First we make the races work so that everyone can finish. It may mean shorter races or even two shorter races, then gradually lengthening the races until we find that sweet spot again. I'm sure everyone wishes for ~1h races (basically, first few chaotic laps, then you got an hour on top of that, it is very nice format) but not before the majority can stay on track for that time..
We got time to do this now. With us helping each other, we can enjoy the change. I do suggest that if the lobby is not resolved, we start gathering each wednesday and arrange training sessions. We need those who have used rF2 to answer a LOT of stupid questions so embrace yourselves for bunch of grumpy old men that mutter to their beards while saying "fine" while thinking of the good old times and how easy it was. Of course no one remembers that learning Race07 and installing all the tweaks, mods, tracks made us equally mad.
