Make quick race better

I have 3 requests about quick races:

1) Fix fuel estimate. As of now when you are in the lobby, race laps are underestimated by 25% (or seen from the opposite view point you can do 20% more laps than expected). If I set enough fuel for 4.8 laps I will race 6 laps. Please fix it.

2) Discourage one lap racers. If you don't complete 60% of winner's laps you don't get money and experience and the game should not allow to use less fuel than the quantity necessary for a single lap (at least when you are in lobby). There are no excuses. The lower limit for car health and engine health is 20%. You always can complete a quick race. Furthermore the future reactivation of driver mistakes will increase the number of cheaters who want to increase their driver's experience.

3) Introduce randomly "refuel" and "no refuel","free tyre" and "two tyres" quick races.



I think these changes are mandatory. Why should I have a wrong fuel estimate in lobby? Why an exploit on driver's experience should continue to exist? Why shouldn't we able to train in every possible condition that appears in league races?

I expect a response from the whole community and iGP games.

concordo com seu ponto de vista.

4) push level could be set in advance

No. You are supposed to be online in quick races.

Today I had 8 quick races with another account and 7 of them had at least one one-lap-racer. They are getting more than ever. Please do some!

I noted that experience is calcuted dynamically from the number of races. Fix the formula.

Don't worry about people who will complain about losing driver experience, they know they are cheating and they deserve it.

During the last 10 days 70% of my quick races had at least one one-lap-racer. After Kevin's post this thread has never been flagged as approved.

My fear is that nobody cares about this at iGP games. Does this game want to improve? Why there is no official answer?

I am starting to think that this game is in cash cow mode. I understand what difficulties are being experienced by Jack and his team but is so hard to multiply by 0.8 the race laps in lobby? To me this looks the easiest and quickest possible fix. I fully understand that the rest will take time but not this one.

1. Cash cow mode? Saying things like that about iGP of all games just screams ignorance.

2. There is no need to rant if your suggestion is not approved or responded to. Jose reads every suggestion and if/when it passes muster then it will be approved.

3. I definitely agree about QR needing fixes but I reckon it's not high up in the priority list. Very few % of the player base do QR. Wasting time/resources on that when there are bigger fixes to do would be a bad move business wise.

You cannot imagine how many players take part to quick races in their very first day. When they see how bugged quick races are, they quit. This makes quick races important because this is the first thing a new player uses to judge this game. This is the game's business card.


Defending bugs because you have an advantage and you cannot win without them is what I call ignorance.

Lol that's a weak come back ?. How does a buggy QR benefit me in any way?


You can call iGP all sorts (buggy, bad etc) but calling iGP a cash cow is ignorance. It's not a shade, it's a statement of fact plain and simple.

Cash cow mode means no investments on something that is going to be sold. I think you missed the sense of my statement.

Jack never said if the agreement was to cooperate with another company or sell iGP.

Because I don't see any fix. The estimated laps in lobby is just a number. I wrote many times about those who don't want to run more than one lap and nothing happened. What should I think if there is no reaction after weeks or months?

@Giovanni I think you need to look up the meaning of ‘cash cow’ since its meaning is not the same as your interpretation.

The best thing iGP could do is remove quick races.  The only real useful purpose they serve is to check push levels in different temperatures at each track, but once you know this they aren’t appealing to most players and the experience gain is so marginal it is really isn’t worth the time and effort.  I’ve also never understood why joining quick races should help to improve a drivers experience.  Removing them would also reduce the demands of the servers as well if they were popular but they aren’t.  I’ve never done a quick race with more than 4 or 5 drivers (with my other account I have just tried to join a couple to check this and including me one had 3 drivers and other 2!)

I’ve certainly never seen them widely used and I log onto the game at different points during the day, but if new players really use them as their first experience of the game (I didn’t) then that is another reason to remove them as they are in no way representative of a league race.
