MP Difficulty > Add a DRS Rule Setting

Most of us have been there... several cars within seconds of each other making for an awesome race. Then you or your friend bin it in a corner, wreck, and their race is over. We like the high stakes, sometimes. Other times, we disable damage so a car can get back on the track and resume racing. Only they're still out of the race, unless they have a ridiculous pace, or luck into backmarker passing opportunities.

My suggestion caters to casual multiplayer races with a mix of people we want to keep involved in the game and experts who want to push themselves: I'd love to see the standard F1 rule of getting DRS when you're within 1 second of the car in front become adjustable like parc ferme. Let us change the default 1 second gap to 3 seconds, 5 seconds, or infinite. Alternatively, keep the 1-second rule as-is an add an optional 25%-100% DRS setting for everyone more than 1 second behind the race leader.

This way, when someone makes a mistake over the course of 5-50 laps, they're able to get back into the competition and less likely to walk away from the race and/or the game.

  • Circling back to this following the close of a 15-race league. The benefits of clean air really conflicts with the fun of wheel to wheel racing. Our best races were the ones that were close but the people having the most fun had the worst finishes, obviously.

    Just wanted to float this very simple, very easy to add suggestion, to make MP racing more enjoyable. A simple setting to increase the DRS rule from 1 second (realistic) to 3, 5, 10, and unlimited to help close the gap to first place would be AMAZING when racing with smaller parties (5-10 people). Groups of 1 car, suck. The further behind someone can be eligible for DRS, the fewer groups you'll have on the track. Unlimited DRS also helps weaker drivers race with their friends.

    This is an easy win, EA/CM!
