≈ The DriveTrain Challenge - Come Join us Fridays for some relaxed racingOpen

After looking at the FF choices in the PP range, it looks like a race/rally car are the only options. I'm not sure what the Trial Celica is considered (maybe tuner?) but we will have to allow race/rally cars for the FFs.

Lineup entered. I basically copied @88GTA then made it better Well not really as only 1 car have I really driven and the rest are just filler. So I will be driving blind tonight.

 

[kendawg]

I will put a lineup together. But probably want post it. It will be a surprise.

 

[tezgm99]

Will it include a 4WD vehicle?

How about we surprise you with what cars you get to run?

 

[88GTA]

Room is up?

I'm Ron Burgundy?

 

[tezgm99]

That was fun....Brands at dusk is a far different beast

 

[jobyone]

thanks guys It was good being on track. Now time to start practicing more and making better car choices

I like the theme. We need to figure out 3-4 good PP amounts that would be easy to have a lineup ahead of time.

 

[88GTA]

1950pp wasn't bad but you have to allow the race/rally cars for the FF choice. The sweet spot is 1600-1900.

One thing we could do is create a lineup that everyone has to run, but that means we can't pick the cars we want to use individually.

I like the idea of having some listed lineups. That way people could just grab and go. Then if they like the series they can start to tweak them. Maybe having a 1600, 1700, 1800 and 1900 listed makes sense.

OP and spreadsheets set for Tuesday.

What are we going to try for this thursday?

OP and spreadsheets set for Tuesday.

What are we going to try for this thursday?

Thanks. How about we try this on Thursday:

Everyone must run the following four cars but you can choose when you run each car. You can only use each car once and all cars will be on sports medium tires:

FF - Honda Integra Type R DC5 '04 426pp
4WD - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV GSR '96 449pp
FR - Shelby GT350 '67 461pp
MR - Lotus Elise '96 415pp
Total PP - 1751 (sports medium)

The first race and qualifying will be at Laguna Seca and race winners will pick the next tracks. All four cars are premium so I suggest numbers in case you're running with someone in the same car.

Thoughts?

 

[kendawg]

4 different tracks or keep the same track?

Winner picks the next track like Tuesdays

 

[kendawg]

Thursday is like Tuesday but different.

 

[88GTA]

Haha, yea that's the point. Testing on Thursdays to make Tuesday the best day ever.

My lineup for tonight (I think):
FF - Renault Sport Clio RS '11 410pp Honda Integra Type R '95 414pp
4WD - Joe's Car '85 415pp Audi S3 '02 413pp
FR - Scion FR-S '12 413pp
MR - Opel Speedster '00 410pp

I'm opening an online lobby for some testing so hop in and I can explain and answer any questions. FR accepted.

Basically you get to choose four cars to race. The first track is a known track the rest are chosen (from a list) by the winner of the previous race. You run the cars when you want and each can only be run once. Your car choice is limited by a total PP amount (this week the total PP is 1650) and you must have one of each drivetrain (FF, 4WD, FR and MR/RR)

The signup link is a great tool to choose your lineup.

You can enter it in that spreadsheet that Joby linked or post it here. Either way you need to choose a set lineup before the race.
