This week we will eventually run the race that I had to postpone 3 times already.
It was initially planned for week 31 as a race with a possible choice between the Motorsport Elise and the Tommy kaira ZZ-S. The problem was that the ZZ-S simply couldn't match the Elise despite similar power and weight. So I postponed it to week 34 in order to have some more time to find a better balanced combo.
Then due to Richard Burns' death, I changed my plans at the last minute and posted a tribute arcade race. This resulted in too many GT mode races (weeks 35, 36, 39) and there was no room for Autumn Ring Mini anymore, so I posted it as an arcade race on another board. It was pretty successful and enjoyable, so I decided to use it for the WRS too and planned it for week 47.
Until the poll that showed last week that a majority of racers wish there were more Arcade races. I decided to stop with the 50/50 arcade/GT ratio to post an arcade tarmac rally combo (which are usually successful) and postponed a third time the GT Mode race at Autumn Ring Mini.
So here is eventually the final version of this combo. The track is really short (about 40 secs a lap) and it would have become boring pretty early IMO. The winding layout makes it difficult to overtake cleanly, so a multi-lapper was not really the solution. In the end, I decided to run 2 races instead of only one.
You have 2 cars (Elise and Silvia), 2 tracks (forward and reverse) and each of you will have to choose which car he/she will use on which track. You can practice all 4 combinations (Elise/forward ; Elise/reverse ; Silvia/forward ; Silvia/reverse), but you will have to make a choice before submitting : you must submit 2 laptimes only, so you'll have to submit Elise/forward + Silvia/reverse or Silvia/forward + Elise/reverse.
Hope it makes sense
