Thank you for the feedback from you guys and coming up with some good ideas to improve DieHards. There is a bit of irony in the title '
DieHards' because when we started the series, I knew it would only be a few of us continuing to play the game. Like any other game it has a limited lifespan and people move on......leaving the diehards behind. The last thing I want is to alienate people just because I am getting bored with racing GT1 cars. We are few in numbers and can't afford losing anyone! As allways majority rules and if you guys want to continue racing GT1/ GT3 it is fine by me. Here are just a few of my thoughts :
Hondy's GT Series
Very good concept allowing slower drivers to be in contention for the big price.
1) I agree with Flx that slower us, will never catch Steve, Hondy and ussr in GT3 cars, should you guys decide to take the GT1 cars. Be realistic it aint gonna happen.
2) The GT1 challenge will be to stay ahead and the GT3 to catch up and push for the fastest lap (which is not impossible for the fast guys). So there is an incentive for all racing to push hard
3) As hondy has said, should this prove to be successful, there is the opportunity to turn the British GT into a World GT series....so potentially more racing, which is a big positive
4) half an hour racing is a lot, especially if we are going to do something else during the evening...maybe specify the amount of laps depending on the track? Minimum 10...max 15?
5) Everyone will have to keep an eye on the top right hand corner of the screen to see who is doing the fastest lap. It will have to be verified by at least 2 racers
ussr's Stock car series
Another good idea. I raced in a series like this in GT5 before SU2, and it worked very well and was a lot of fun. Level playing field for all.
1) Car and track selection is crucial. Everyone taking part will have to come up with ideas of cars/tracks. Choosing random cars and tracks is a disaster. We can then draw up a list of cars and suitable tracks and decide which are the better combinations
2) Might be an idea to post the combinations in a calender of events so everyone knows in advance what and where
3) Might be suited to do TT's before the race
Zee's Class spesific Tuners series
My idea is really what I have already mentioned. Same class and upgrades
1) Different class every week
2) Different track every week
3) Using cars and tracks we have not raced before
4) Throwing some Legends in
5) Tuning will be user defined
6) TT and race each meeting
Okay folks this is what we have so far. Ideas to ponder. If anyone has some more thoughts, please post!!!
edit: the 3 series's are a bit of a mixed bag so far, but hopefully one or two will appeal to you. Then again you don't have to participate in all three....just whatever you fancy
