Puddles would never be like this in real life. Tracks are designed to let water run off them so they don’t get any standing water. Having a massive puddles at the bottom on Eau Rouge is ridiculous! The race would be called off because its WAY to dangerous to drive a track with that much standing water. I think turn 10 wanted to do something cool but in turn messed it up big time. Please like this post and thread if you agree so we can show turn 10 that this is a feature we can do without!

I get what you’re saying but I love the puddles. Makes tracks like Spa and the Nordshleife even more hardcore than they were already =)

Like Puddles - Don’t Like Puddles… won’t comment on that
But you are dead wrong, about puddles in real life racing.
I have been to tracks in the rain, Laguna and Sonoma, both areas that do not get a lot of rain typically… trust me, there are puddles.
All you have to do is search youtube and look for racing in the rain.

That american tracks for you. If there where puddles that big on the track the race would be called off. Yes i can see that there are roosters but that has nothing to do with the puddles. Thats just mist created by the dampness of the track not but massive puddles that make your car aquaplane

The rain is great, it turns tracks we’ve raced on over and over again into a whole new experience, it’s thrilling when you’re racing in the rain with the car struggling for grip and dangerously twitching on gear changes you really feel like you’re on the edge, the puddles are the best part though they add a whole new dimension where racing line becomes more important, you can’t just stick to what would be the fast race line you have to search for the dry line and take corners in new ways to avoid puddles, it makes working your way to the front a more exciting experience because you have to take genuine risks to progress, you have to risk dropping a wheel into puddles or onto slippery kerbing to get past and it’s a great feeling when you manage to keep it together and get the move done.

you obviously never been to the nurburgring on a rainy tourist lap…
I love them puddles, new lines, wet version of the tacks are actually more like brand new tracks to learn and play on
now what they could have done, and I’d have much better liked your original post if it was put that way, is that they could have done “light rain” (without or with fewer puddles) and “heavy rain” (with full on puddles all over the place) versions of the track.
What the OP does wrong is assume his truth is objective and demanding to fit a worldwide game to his own liking. that’s a tad bit egoistical.
But yea, I would also appreciate to race, on occasion, under the rain with less or no puddles. But I also greatly appreciate the current wet tracks just as much.

Just no. Puddles are fine. And what are you talking about drainage systems etc. Are you kidding me? There ARE puddles like that one race tracks in heavy rain

Great idea! While they’re at it they should remove the rain too;)
rain equals puddles, no matter how well the drainage is at the tracks. They even race on two-wheels in the rain with puddles and they have a contact patch less than a quarter of an inch.

abit off topic but man, these mens have themselves some iron balls
It might be just a bit off topic but the concept is still the same, you can race in the rain and tracks do have puddles. Correct me if I am wrong but I think that that only series that does not race in the rain is NASCAR.
Thank you for the feedback.
