Reading the post, I remember the talks about having both a driving school and a car setup school in the game. Finding a setup isn't that difficult, and "setting a car up" does not mean nailing it but making the car feel nice and predictable. This is what I aim for and this is where I find a second or another. What's required for that is a general understanding what the parts in a car do, after that everything else (which change causes what effect?) falls in one's lap. [/OT]
I also think cranking it up in two ways would be beneficial:
- A ladder (leagues for pros + entry leagues for beginners/sunday drivers)
- official scheduled races.
You that could create a hub for interested people, every driver could race against people with comparable skill and on top, the perceived value of those events would be pretty high.
