Re: Grid Starting Position

Yeah I get where you're coming from but look at the image above, it's not as if it's a few inches away, the front right tyre is MILES away from the yellow line, and that's a purple one as well.

    From playing myself, its in the ideal spot. Video is deceiving, one to watch when playing. 

  • From this video is clear that the purple indicator is behind the yellow line, and he gets red while staying behind it. This clearly needs to be fixed specially if the AI positions ahead the yellow line, like IRL . https://youtu.be/XcQtZq8iA_g?t=173

    I forget where I've posted about exactly this before but it still looks wrong to me.

    I'll stand down for now, but I'll almost certainly be raising it again post launch, look at the pictures attached side by side, its MILES off, I live closer. Needs adjusting for sure.

    I think the line is correctly placed in relation to the grid box but:

    In reality, drivers place their tyres on the orange line, which ensures that their tyres are inside the starting box. However, their front wing may not be.

    From what I can see in the game, the player (but not the AI!!) must have their front wing inside the starting box as well. This means that the yellow line doesn't work, because its placed like in reality.
