I feel we should have a new setting under race setup that allows us, only once a season, to select a group mate to try to ' take out' at the first corner.
Would add a new element of strategy and could ignite some exciting new rivalries.
Who's with me? 😁

If it is the first corner should that not be the "Senna Gambit"?
|
|

If you invite Vettel to play GPRO Alan, I'm in 😆😆😆
But seriously though, yeah could be a bit of fun. Certainly get the group forums more active.
Edit: Now c'mon Riley be nice 😊 That was retaliation to what Prost did the previous season. Prost drew first blood & at least Senna had the guts to tell Ron Dennis what would happen if he wasn't leading into the first corner. Plus Senna was on pole but the FIA had switched it to the dirty side of the track. Who was in charge of the FIA that season? A Frenchman.

Yes, i think Schumachers 'gambit' was mid race so feel free to rename it when it gets implemented (for sure) by Vlad 😉

True but Schumachers was the most skillful/devious one i've seen and i had to admire him for it and his complete and utter public denial after the fact 😂

Good idea but if successful, there should be a 1 in 3 chance of being disqualified from the championship (i.e. you relegate).

Probably too harsh. Maybe a 10 point penalty (or $25m fine depending on the points/cash of the person comitting the offence).
We could also, in the spirit of Shumy, give the offender the chance to claim to have no knowledge of any wrongdoing of the offence and put it to a public vote as to whether he/she is believed 🤦♂️

I am totally on Senna's side in respect of that event, specifically because of those reasons you have listed :)

I don't like the idea but the name is cool. What about you choose a manager before each race (NOT affecting the race, rather as a bet) and if you crash them you get an achievement?

So you're suggesing we try to knock each other out, not for fiancial gain or for strategic reasons, for fun?
Wow, that's pretty mercenary ;)
I'm quite surprised the idea is gaining any traction at all but, since it is, i will add some more detail:
The choice can be made after qualify ends but before the race starts. You can only chose someone who is ahead of you in the grid (restricting the choices significantly and adding more weight to strategy choice). As stated only once per season and only in higher groups (master and above?) with clear risk involved for attempting it. Cannot select a manage who has FT. Cannot do it on final race of the season. A manager cannot be targeted more than once a season in any given group (if an attempt was already made but not noticed then any further attempt by another person would automatically fail but could still be picked by the game engine and a judges enquirey raised)
oh, and obviously i would be exempt as it was my suggestion ;)

Nah. Amateur & above would be great. As it is your suggestion Alan, you would be a major target just for the hell of it 😄

The Gambit should only be applicable in Suzuka, because its first corner is literally asking for it. Just ask Tom Coronel :P

That's why only a single attack can be used on any given manager in any group during the whole of a season. If someone takes their shot and misses then they'd better watch out ;
Maybe another rule. Never on rain races :)

Mhhh
This is impossible.
Qualify closes at 18:30 and the race is calculated or "ran" between 18:30 and 20:00
What we see at 20:00 is a graphical representation of the race calculations started 90 minutes earlier.

I would also like 5 second time penalties for dangerous driving. Of course these should only be applied during the post race update for maximum surprise effect.

so what you're saying is I've already killed him in the future and there is nothing my sorry present arse can do to change it, but what about past me? I need a DeLorean!

While we're at it, why not ad a Piquet Jr. gambit to crash out in order to let your teammate win (only usable if you're in the same group with your teammate)? For that suggestion to work we need to wait for implementation of the safety-car, though.

But wouldn't 72 laps x 5 seconds put you at a serious disadvantage? (given that all your laps are driven dangerously) ;)

Have to have some risk in there. Occasionally you get to crash into your teammate! Double DNF. Your team gets to kick you down the road for awhile. :)
