How does the saying go...? A good friend will bail you out of jail, but a great friend will be in the same cell as you saying "Man, that was fun!"Don't forget when we *this has been omitted do to it's graphic depictions, and poor taste in humor. We apologize for this, and the mater will be delt with. Thank you. ... and you should have seen the donkey's face. WOW what a time
I always heard... A friend will bail you out, but a great friend will help you hide the bodies...maybe I said too much
Awesome news, looking forward to it 👍
I'd have to get used to driving those bad boys, they stick better than expected. All my braking points and turn ins have to change!
They're certainly a bit different to the normI'd have to get used to driving those bad boys, they stick better than expected. All my braking points and turn ins have to change!
Just like the cars they're trying to replicate, there's a bucket load of grip available, but when it goes, it goes in a hurry!!
Each track venue lasts a week, where the team has to post quickest lap time in a SINGLE session online SOLO Race with limited lap given, say 10 laps max, tire wear can be used, the team MUST save the replay as proof. The quickest mechanic/driver team will have the highest point, a simple point system, like 25 for 1st, 20 for 2nd etc. Then combined with DC score. Just a little brain storming.
Scheduling might be difficult, but I'd throw my hat in the ring for a driver! The wife & daughter have changed their stable times, so I'd be looking at Saturday afternoons now. EU time of course!They're certainly a bit different to the norm
In terms of the event format, I had wanted to run it a little like a mini-championship, so that tuners have to build cars to withstand racing conditions, rather than our usual time trial conditions. A car that's focused on stability rather than pure pace will likely do better. The biggest obstacle is to find sufficient testers/race drivers willing to participate over a number of weeks. In an ideal world, I'd like to pair up a 'mechanic' and a 'driver' and have them work together over the course of two to four races. The driver would then compete against three other drivers. Ideally, the four competitors would use one each of the four cars available. With suitable interest, we could then match mechanic/drivers geographically in groups of four, so they can race against each other.
I've got the number four stuck in my head for this one. Four cars, four tracks over four weeks. Brands Hatch GP is a given, and to give it an international feeling I thought Bathurst, Laguna Seca and possibly Suzuka? I just don't know if we can get eight people together for the EU, the US and AU regions, let alone four drivers of comparable skill. It's perhaps a tad ambitious...

I personally prefer race cars, not "hot lap cars", so I'm definitely for racing, the unexpected, the surprise, competition emotions, when it's about the cars. 👍Maybe not races, but hot lap system
Won a race on my first outing with a Countach at Monza against F40s, Ferrari 330 P4, Zondas etc, hosted by Johnnypenso ( his Deadnutseven Racing Club ) Good ol' times 
Shame I can't get online now, 1.09 
A 1 on 1 Touge style battle, but not on touge track
Yes, yes, this what I'm talking about.I like racing too, used to be very active in GT5 parity racing, where the cars are in same lap time bracket, and all that matters is driver skill/ race craft
👍
This is what I was after. We're used to building cars that can achieve good laptimes on their own, but often these cars are too fragile to use during proper racing. Touring car racing often involves contact, whether that be unintentional or tactical
Very well said, my friend. 👍 If we just think about a sudden braking at an unusual zone of the track, for example, how will the car behave?!This is what I was after.

Once I get some time later, I'll start a fresh thread in the Tuning forum to see what sort of interest we can generate. It would be great if we could 3 teams of 4 racing around the world...

I'm thinking some sort of time trials to group the racers as well. No sandbagging!
I wasn't sure if I wanted to add another thread to get buried is one reason I just posted it here. Maybe @DigitalBaka could link to the post?
