Can we change the main page to reflect this weeks PP and track?
Not sure what to do about new tracks. Maybe we can add two or three new tracks to each group? This might make it easier to pick tracks
Or just have a list of 15-20 tracks we can choose from without having actual groups?

I have updated the post good sir.Can we change the main page to reflect this weeks PP and track?

As for the track Idea we currently have 9 tracks. Would you really want to double the selections? How about we add 6 so we have 15?
Current tracks
Motegi Super Speedway
Brands Hatch - Indy Circuit
Spa Francorchamps
Indy Road Course
Deep Forest Raceway
Willow Springs - Big Willow
Silverstone - Grand Prix Circuit
Trial Mountain
Tsukuba
Also how about this as an idea for keeping the track list changing. Each week we choose a random participant to be able to replace one track? The drivers who come first and second would not be eligible for this prize as they have already won a prize.
Also Joe. Your PP total last week was 1887 on the score sheet. I assume our Known PP for some of your cars is wrong or the wrong car is listed. Can you let me know which cars I need to update?

Lol wanna borrow mine?I could have used a Lancer Evo, or any 4WD for that matter, driving to work in the snow this morning.
I really enjoyed that seasonal with the Evo so I'm hoping I get more than 5 or 6 tries at it later today. Your ghost was quick @tezgm99. That was the first time I had driven in snow since GT5 and it was a lot of fun.

Just throwing out an idea along these lines. What if we expanded the track list, as we have mentioned, but then exclude the tracks from the previous week. For instance, this Tuesday we wouldn't be able to use the three tracks chosen by the winners last week which were Trial Mountain, Indy Road and Spa. This would allow the winner to have a large group of tracks to select from while also cutting out week-to-week repetition.
Just a thought.

Man, after a few hours of ****ing around with these ****boxes, I think I finally have something that works. But I'm a few PP short of the max, which I guess is no biggie. Really hard finding a good FR car that meets the limits and tried desperately to get an S2000 in my lineup, but haven't made it work. The only thing I can get to work with is the Mazda Savanna and it's fast but drives like a brick to me. I guess Tuesday is the real test!

I'm guessing most will go for a FR-S, BRZ or GT86 for the FR option....mainly due to its predictable handling and it's pretty good for its PP number.
Edit; OT for this but I might have to start calling you Scotty, Joe....the practice you gave me at Silverstone with the RX-7 worked miracles tonight

I'm currently rolling with this line-up but I have some more testing to do:
FF - TRD Celica '00 416pp
4WD - VW Boring '01 391pp
FR - Nissan 300ZX '83 421pp
MR - Opel Speedster '00 410pp
@danfurey
I saw your line-up on the spreadsheet and it looks good. That Lotus is a handful, especially on these sports hard tires, so get some practice in with it before tomorrow night.

yeah thanks for the warning about the lotus. Definitely have learned that its a bitch on braking and you have to have it already lined up for the corner so that you are in a complete straight line under braking. But it is great at taking corners after that. Don't think mine is finalized but I hope to have it done tonight!

Here is my plan. Tomorrow night run with the existing 9 tracks in an open format so no groupings. After the race the 3rd-8th place finishers will each get to choose one track to add to the list for next week. Will that work for you guys?

No. You may not change any settings on the car even if it comes with adjustable parts. The tuning prohibited setting will not allow you in the room if you do. You may change brake balance and still get into the room.
Lineup for me tonight (untested as it may be):
MR: Elise '11 395PP
FR: Subaru BRZ '12 413
AWD: Audi S3 '02 412
FF: Civic Type R '08 420
