Kind of last minute but who’d be in for a carting challenge? Tomorrow (9pm UK) or Sunday night? I’m thinking 4 races different tracks, probably 8 laps per. 5 min qualify before each.
If you haven’t tried the carts you’re doing yourself a disservice.....they’re easy to control, twitchy and a lot of fun once you get the knack.

I only briefly tried the carts in this game to start my career and was a little disappointed to find that they were not as good as in pCars 1 where I I found them to be a lot of fun. I can't remember off the top of my head what they changed but I know it was something that did not go down very well with those that enjoyed them in the first game.
I found it majorly twitchy, braking was an issue (almost on or off if I remember right) and needing a lot of wheel adjustment to get any kind of feel for them but I would be happy to give it a go although would need the chance to get in a bit of practice in them one evening first.
By tomorrow were you meaning tonight (Thursday) or Friday? Tonight would probably be no good for me as I would need to get that practice in first as I know they were very frustrating initially and I would rather get that out of the way offline lol

This was my method to ensure a win - no practice for my competitors. Lol.
How about Sunday night?

Lets go with 9 and we’ll see if there’s any other takers. Otherwise we can do some practice / tuning

I should be around. I did enjoy the carts in P Cars 1, but I haven't driven them in 2 yet.

Just give yourself a little bit of practice time in them Greg as they are very different to the ones in the first game. Single gear for one and very much more difficult to control. the brakes in particular were very twitchy from memory. |

Ok. Are there still different carts, which one will we be on? My only preference is that we would do this with no license set as I'm not trying to have my rating go down unnecessarily.

Just the one I think.. but I'd have to check to be sure.
Yeah that's fine.. I don't race online enough to worry abt the license stuff. You looking to up it for a particular reason? How you managing to increase it.. public lobbies 😱

Haha, no particular reason. I ruined it one drunk night backing out of lobbies before I knew it was a thing. Went down into the 1200s and I've been trying to get back to 1500 ever since. I don't really know why I care.
I do enjoy public lobbies. Maybe it was because of my original xbox but I never felt like the career mode worked proper for me, so I've always done online lobbies. Generally GT3 and TC lobbies are more full than others and if I find a good one I'll stick with it for a while. If there are a few decent drivers everyone seems good about kicking the "forza style" drivers/crashers out.
The only reason I wouldn't want it on here is I'm not familiar with the tracks and too many offs drops your score quickly.

Had a little go of the Kart this morning and have to say it is much better than I remembered from my career attempts with it. Very entertaining little machine to throw around some excellent karting circuits in the game. I love Blenheim in particular. The braking is actually fine and the main thing that took side getting used to was the FFB in them.
Hoping we can get a bit of time for some fun with them tonight.

Sorry guys but I'm not gonna make it today. I moved my setup because I got a 2nd Xbox. While moving it I got it stuck in my house. Freeing it up I broke a weld and i raced last night with my seat not properly attached. Rewelding and touch up paint now. Won't be ready to race, too many wires and zip ties in my future.

Perhaps we’ll give it another shot down the road. Yesterday we ended up just doing some tuning practice as we didn’t have the numbers for the cart series.

I have a similar idea, the only thing is it would be a max lobby of 6 because it would use some of the rally courses.
I call it 'MARIO KART NIGHT' because it would use all kinds of different track surfaces and weather like actual Mario Kart does. 9-6-3-1 for points, no practice and maybe 5 laps a round.
I've never tried the Karts around around one of the rally tracks and don't know if they could even make it a lap around some of those but I did the Merc Ice oval once which was very interesting in Karts.
Also, I suck at Karts
