The Alfa TZ2 might be a little underpowered and 2J might be over, idk after patch though.

Ferrari 512BB Pace car? Fiat 500? :dopey:

Maybe :sly: But my main problem is that I don't have all of those cars so I don't know the HP and KG limits of all of those cars. :grumpy:
 
Depending on time zones I may be able to join.
 
To make it authentic, the Chapparal 2J should have to pit every 5 laps to replace the belt on the skimobile engine. :P


...but of course if you allow RS tires people will probably be pitting every 4 laps anyway.

That would be cool, but people probably wouldn't agree :grumpy: So are you guys in?
 
What time does it start EST (Boston, MA)?

Also, for authenticity, i'd suggest turning off ABS as well as all other aids in the lobby. It will make the race more interesting if drivers are struggling a little to brake into turn 1 and the bus stop.
 
I live in AZ, SO that's about 3 hours off of EST time I believe. The room should open at 10:30 a.m. and race start at 11:00 a.m. for you.
 
That might work for me. No preference on car...I'll just run whatever no one picks (as long as I have it in the garage and it is somewhat competitive).
