Eventually I'll start a f3 series using the red bull jr detuned...or the Ralt if it were available. We really do need a training series like Formula Ford 1600 for new guys and guys like me who hate friggin tuning.
But right now I need seat time during daylight hours to appease SWMBO...:banghead: Who seems to need me to watch TV. :confused:. I'm looking at F3500 but I think its too much car for me even detuned.

Feel free to talk to me if you want to bounce ideas around. I'll see if I can help out.

Just tripped over a European F3 Series in the planning stage in between GT300 series but they plan to make it a tuner series. I would prefer it to be spec so drivers can focus on driving skills and race craft. I was under the impression that the Senna cars would not be available for general use..apparently I was wrong.

You could check this out :D

It won't have F3 and F1 until next season. For now it's only GP2.

Edit: 2,000 posts :P

The WSR F3 is the most fun you can have in a slow car on Hards and no ABS. The Lotus :( It's the ultimate drivers car to say the least but it is messed up in my opinion. I watched some real life videos of Senna driving it and it didn't seem to drop RPM's like it does in GT6.

I have driven ( in club racing) both the RT3 and the 4 (the Formula Atlantic version). In the later the main problem most drivers had was just that..trusting the ground effects to STAY ON LINE. Most drivers could not "bet their lives" on the capability of the car to circulate " on rails" but if you did it was scary fast. It truly separated the up and commers from those who would progress to F1 straight from F3.
IMHO.

Edit: The F3 is the perfect driver training car as it is very forgiving...time to set up a training program.

News for the week:

I'll probably be on tonight, so we can have a small Group A session for those who can make it.

But for this Thursday, I will not be able to get on, I'll be out of town. So if anyone can pick it up and host on Thursday, that would be great.
After this week, I'm sure that we can run a race with both classes. I'm itching to do this!

I will have a definitive schedule out very soon. There will be at least 1 week break in the schedule (and I hope only one) 'cause I'll be somewhere else. See you guys soon!

I will be able to run a class A test run on Thursday. Sorry it took a while to get back on this. Same bat time Same bat place.

I'll post up two tracks when I get home
 
Series Updates:

The second race on the calender will be at Tokyo R246. It's a street circuit that is actually wide enough to run two classes on... mostly. And it can support the big cars pretty well, driving on it doesn't feel to awkward, not a lot of point and squirt corners. The series calender will be updated with this information very shortly.

Also, for those who have notices, there is a slot on the calender at the end for a bonus event at the end of the year. More info on that a little later on.:sly:


And now for something completely different...

Test event!!! :D:D:D

Next week, I am fairly certain I will be around, so we will have our test event with both classes running at the same time. The thread for this will be up some time tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully we can add a few names to the series, numbers are going to be really important for this thing.

The track will be the full circuit at Grand Valley. We will run the full 90 minute distance with tire and pit stop rules will be in place. Looking forward to seeing how this thing works out!

If everything is good, the series will start on June 19th. See you guys out there!

Yeah but its the ersatz ring for woosie f1 drivers. I was there in 68 watching EVERY car get great air at the Flug Platz....yes it was STUPID DANGEROUS but so was every other track. And I know FLIP will say that 16 cars get lost on the 'Ring but sometimes it isn't about the other guy it is about your capability to navigate the worlds greatest or perhaps MOST infamous track at speed in the dark in the rain...and having a really stupid grin on your face while doing it. IMHO
 
A welcome to @joe_diben who races with Alien and moi in Snail. He is faster than me( just :sly:) and will make a great addition. Hey boss man can we swap rides within the team between A and B If we opt out of the individual championship? Pretty please...it will be ever so much more fun....

Thanks for the kind words @Nail-27. I think we will make a great team. I may be a tiny bit faster (stress tiny) but you definitely make up for it by not crashing like I do.
 
Hey guys how about a little practice around 10 central or so....any takers. Sorry for missing anything that was up last night. Was out of action.
 
Hey Flip do u hav any spots open, if so I'll race either group, guessing u would like to hav 8 each group.

Yes we do! I think there's one in A and a couple in B, so whatever you want to race in, it's up to you. You have time to figure it out.
