SCGT Demo - Drafting?

I haven't noticed any draft effect when following the other cars. Maybe these types of cars don't create much of a draft. Has anyone else been able to draft other cars? -- Pat Dotson IMPACT Motorsports http://www.impactmotorsports.com/pd.html

Yes, I have. When in the BMW and trailing another I can stick with him, but it seems he has more HP than me and starts to pull away, but its only for a split second because I have to get setup for the next corner. To truly test this we need to have a longer straight. Adam

I think your right. I've looked for and haven't noticed any drafting effect. I can't imagine there shouldn't be. Marty

If he's pulling away, your not really drafting him, are you? :) What you described is exactly what I am talking about. Even stuck to another cars bumper, they are able to pull away, even at high speed.

Hehe didn't come out as I meant it I guess. What happened was I would stick with him for more than enough time to notice him pulling me, but he would SLOWLY pull away, but very slowly, then i would have to brake for T1. Adam

Yeah Adam, but if it's another BMW, you should have to lift to avoid rear ending it when drafting. Ben >Hehe didn't come out as I meant it I guess.

Is the Saleen faster than the BMW? I think it has more hp but I can draftt him oon the longest straight and just maybe slingshot past him before turn 1. Either that or I rear end him 8-). Can't wait for the final product. I want to see how accurate Laguna Seca is since I sometimes do time trialling there. Oh and how do I make a quick start? All the cars seems to smoke my M3.

It is hard to judge since the AI takes the last corner onto the straight slower than you can. The best judge is if two equal cars exit the last turn at equal speeds. If the car behind can then gain on the car in front and whip out to pass then there is drafting. John >Is the Saleen faster than the BMW?
