How about we go balls out for this event and uncork these babies?  I can understand limiting the power for oval races, but a road course?

Come oooooooooooooon  8)

I'll re-test it, but as I recall from my initial tests (old physics) their was a 5 second difference between the slowest and fastest cars. Not to mention, I'm trying to match the real world as close as I can or is plausible in game.  Even though these cars really did produce 1000+ horsepower, the cars were always de-tuned down to 700 - 800 HP for the race, for reliability and fuel economy reasons.

I've decided I'm going to re-balance the cars closer to their stock weight and HP (after oil change) and am aiming for a January date sometime around the Daytona 24 hour race.

Also I think I finally know what I want to do for the Road Course series.  Basically Daytona and LeMans will be endurance races in the two hour range with the rest running in the 30 to 45 minute range.  Here is the track list.

1. Daytona Road (see above)
2. Fuji GT
3. Spa
4. Le Mans 09 chicane
5. Nurburgring GP/F
6. Suzuka
7. Monza


So at this point, before I get too deep into testing, is there any interest in this series?  Also how would you feel about using weather change tracks, but set so there is a slim to none chance of rain, but at least keep rain as a possible surprise element?

I've updated the front post with the rules.

This series will be formated more or less the same as the oval series. About one race every 3 to 4 weeks, with 7 rounds and each race lasting about 30 minutes and it looks like we'll still run on Wednesdays.

Based on my testing it looks like all the cars stock are pretty close to each other.

Although it is a series with points, its not necessary to commit to the full seasion.  Any one who wants to race can come and go as they please.

Still I would like to take names of those who are interested.  Also I was thinking we could kick things off the week after the real 24 hours of Daytona.  How does January 30th sound?

They are all different this time around.  Even after testing, I'm still not sure what I want to run.

Also at least for a day or two there are still some Group C cars in the OCD.

As before I am in, car undecided at this point.

As to the track line up, if the original post has the correct list could you modify another post of yours further down that has a different list, to avoid confusion?  One lists Le mans with the chicanes, the other no chicanes. :P
