Okay boys lets let turn 10 know we want the lap count increased… there is no point to have the short races, once the race sorts it self out you need more time to try to catch the leader or at least get a couple of clean laps… 2 laps on most of the good tracks is just not enough…(im talking about regular lobbies, like S class) Thank you

Endurance lobby has 3 times the laps as other lobbies. In career/single player, you can choose extra long races. What’s the issue?
I wasnt clear… i was talking about the regular lobbies. not endurance… sorry
For your information it’s kind of a big issue!! First of all the endurance lobby is not S class and it IS a homoligated hopper. Secondly career and single player aren’t online hoppers. We were told by turn10 that if we want class based non homogated hoppers back then we have to play the crap out of the class based breakout hoppers provided in order to show them that the need for class based non homogated hoppers is their. Thirdly the S class hopper in FM6 had twice the laps that this breakout hopper does. So yeah their are issues!!!
Really mods!!! I can see people using profanity and I can actually read someone using the lords name in vein but you use asterisks when I use the word Chris Roger Alpha Pants??!!! For those that don’t understand what I mean, put the capital letters together to see the word I used.
This forum is about as backwards and glitchy as FM7 is… 
I’d say 1-2 extra laps on full tracks like Suzuka/Spa/Watkins etc in Breakout S lobbies would be more than fine.

Imo 10 laps should be the minimum of an average length track.
+1… It’s so frustrating to only get two laps when you finally get a good track with the abysmal track rotation…then it’s only 2 laps. The track rotation really needs a rework… We don’t need a .45 mile length track with 24 people… The lobbies are a mad house already. Please give us proper full road courses only in in the circuit hoppers… Thanks T10

same goes for the single player career mode, 4 laps should be the minimum on any race increasing for the higher class races. Theres no wonder the drivatar ai is so bad if it truly is representative of other users, everyones desperate to get up front else the race is over before you know it.
“Representative of other users” pffffft. That is marketing spin my friend so we blame ourselves and everyone else for the shabby AI. But very true that it conditions the end user to bad driving behavior.

The best one being 2 laps of Abu Dhabi short layout. The race lasts 1 minute 50 seconds. Blink and you’ll miss it race.
Makes you wonder if anyone at Turn 10 checks what they’re implementing.
I think the minimum race length in the hoppers should be 10 minutes.

I agree. The lap count should be doubled on most tracks.
Minimum it should be 10 minutes for a race. Right now they typically average out to around 5 minutes.
