It is up to @BradESPN to choose a car that will induce close racing at Interlagos. I'm sure we will all be happy with his choice whatever he comes up with - no pressure.

It just seems that the Gr.3 cars tend to stick around more (no pun intended). High down force and good grip helps everyone to feel the speed and get the adrenaline going. We are getting spoiled.

The Mazda was a blast in the sense of car control and patience and to take that one opportunity that may present itself without ruining your own or someone else's race. Pack racing..... especially on reverse grid. It would have been nice to take it on a Grand Tour.
 
Numbers are just that, numbers. It's when you get out on track and put theory to practice do you see true data. Even defending 3rd place in Combo 1 felt like a bore. I wasn't defending against the other car so much as trying to keep the rear from sliding. Maybe in the future tires will change since it really seems like the only thing holding the Miata back is not being on SH tires. Then you can really push it and get closer to each other.
Oh crap! And here I've been all along thinking numbers were actually letters!!

Even though it was my first week, the roadster was a nice race, I'm not overly sad to see the combo go away as I wasn't very good at that track/car combo, but it was enjoyable racing.

I voted to remove round 2, not because I dislike Interlagos, but I just think that Alfa in stock setup is an embarrassment to drive and is also very difficult with a DS4.
While the Beetle isn't exactly a fun car, it's at least relatively stable and I really love racing at Dragons Trail.

Understandable...I haven't tried the Alfa in stock form on the DS4 but with a wheel it was unbelievably fun to drive.
 
I've been looking for the Vette Road Car...missed it the first time. I didn't fully understand the Mileage Exchange at that time. I was too deep into trying to complete the challenges, etc.
 
Not trying to force any changes, but if anyone wants to set up an open lobby with the Mazda combo on SH tires just to see how the racing will differ then go for it. You might find the combo was boring because of the tires and not the car/track itself. I don't know I haven't done this yet myself, it's just something that can come up with a lackluster combo.
Still backwards,. You had to be on your game in combo 1. We were very tight in D2 and the fun of that combo us trying keeping the pace up, while you try and keep the back-end in check. You just up'd the boredom going to Sports tires.

I do not think it was a boring combo at all. It required a lot of concentration at the Ss to keep maximum momentum and grip. I guess when it comes to combos that are challenging and require a special 'skill' some times these are quickly thrown out. I thought the 911 road car combo offer a lot of good attributes to stay for a few weeks, yet the car required special accommodations in order to drive it fast.... got thrown out quick!

Exactly , I used his terms. His statement implies it would be more fun with grippier tires , I don't agree.
 
Prize A : We did this combo when we made the transition from GT5 to GT6... Mazda RX-7 Spirit R on Suzuka Full 14:30

I'm pretty sure this was one of the first races I did as a member of SNAIL and I remember this combo vividly. Was this really four years ago? Where does the time go? :eek:

Any of the bottom four. At the pace we're going, we will have used all of the Gr.3 cars well inside of a year.
 
I think the new cars will arrive tonight/ morning after maintenance. If PSN ever goes back up.

so I don't buy cars we wont race.. any priority you have on these?

me personally would like to try the F40, the Soobie and the Stingray 2014.

BTW.. I tested the peaguot at the track at Alsace.. it is pretty much a replica of the Alfa.

Would you like me to post the money glitch that still works so you can get money real quick to buy all the cars? There's also a quick legit way but it's nowhere near as fast.

Anyone that wants to know can PM me

Yeah, I’m leaning towards the F40, but I’m not sure if it’ll play nicely at Interlagos.

you know you like it....
