With the Indy 500 coming up, I got a random idea in my head that we should try a race around the brickyard with the Red Bull X2010 S. Vettel. Only the S. Vettel model would be allowed, since everyone has at least one, and it's gears are fixed.
I did a bit of solo testing, and with max downforce, and a 3.670 final gear, the car goes around the whole track around 250 mph, flat out. It's also a low enough gear that you can't just slingshot around a guy thats ahead of you very easily. The only difference I found between Comfort Hard and Racing Hard tires is the tire wear, but the fuel only last 25 laps, so that's irrelevant
Make it a 100 lap race, and it should be fun if we have enough clean racers.
I'm thinking of running it on a Sunday evening, at a time suitable for both Europeans and Americans. If there's enough interest, I'll finale the regulations, make a proper OP and open signups.
