What happend and why is everyone so pedi about it? what I mean is when you go into a drag lobby or a private lobby there is allways someone getting angry about how this guy is awd when clearly they have rwd. basicly the other person doesn’t have the reaction time that the other guy has and they end up getting mad, what’s up with that? i’m getting fed up with these lobbys and to be honest to me this is the end to my forza drag racing career, and i’ve had more than enough. i’m a Forza veteran even though my name says i’ve only been racing since 2016 this is just a new account. What happend to the olld days when people used to race fair? insted of people using other people’s tunes on the storefront and saying the tune is actually theres. ok im done ranting.
what’s wrong with people using awd and tunes from the storefront? In real life some people use awd and many use tunes they didn’t make themselves, don’t see why a simcade game would be any different.
Also, people will get salty and rage. That’s just life.
:edit: If you are playing in public lobbies, I’d suggest instead finding a club that drag races and create a bond with them. You may find that they suit you more, especially after you get acquainted with them .
It’s hard to find an honest drag race due to how easy the handicap exploit is.
Some smart, observant people who pay attention to what the PI actually does take a super-low PI starting car and fitting them with the biggest engine and swapping to AWD without upgrading anything else but power. They reach the bare minimum PI class they can top out at and abuse their lower-class time handicap and enjoy being 3 quarters of the way down the strip before the people in A-X actually get to launch. I’m not kidding, by the time the tires caught full traction and I stopped feathering the throttle the C-class driver had already crossed the line.
If it hasn’t happened to you, you don’t know what I am talking about. There are no ifs, and or buts about it, it’s an exploit of a flaw in the PI system that exists because swaps don’t scale the PI gain for the class they move out of.
The PI index makes power upgrades a lot a cheaper than we are used to, making chassis and tires upgrades less apetizing to dip into. Fortunately this is only really abused for drag races as I can still win with 300-400hp in a 240z in winding A class circuit/street racing but the annoyance and fault is clearly there.
