You should run Black Eyed Purple Metallic as your wheel color and you will be the exact opposite of me!

Doing the Cappuccino Cup series as well as the GTMSA SuperGT series which resumes this week with the first endurance race of the season at Fuji Speedway. Also, I plan on getting Season 2 of the GTMSA Clio Cup series announced sometime this week if things fall into place.

Anyone wanna be my drafting buddy? Work together to get to the top! 
I like the idea of team racing, they should implement that into B-Spec, hopefully online will follow.

I don't think that bump drafting in the game works as effectively as in the real world of Spec Miata?

Brosif: How do I get to that car dude?

I forgot that I stopped sharing the car so I could do some testing with it a few nights ago. I found another '04 1600 NB in the UCD and want to compare the two to see if there is a difference. I will share them tonight so you can have your way with them.

Sweet, thanks. I was hoping one would show up in the UCD last night so I could buy one, but only the 1800 version and a couple 1.8 NA's popped up.

@Turbo, I have both of those 1600 NBs shared in my profile. I did a little testing last night and they seem to be pretty similar in all aspects. I didn't notice a difference in handling characteristics, power delivery, gearing, exhaust note, lap times, tire wear, anything.
The only way we are really going to know if the 1600 NBs work with the NA is to get both on the track together and have a go. Maybe we can do a few practice races, one at a technical circuit and another at a power track (Autumn Ring Mini and Clubman), with all three models to really test the issue.
I would like to see the 1600 NBs be allowed to race in the series. It would allow for a bit of diversity and since the NBs are a tenth or two faster it would offer a challenge for the faster guys if they decided to stick with the NA. Don't get me wrong, the slight speed advantage the NBs have over the NA would be negated by the draft in a race setting, but in qualifying the NBs' speed would mix up the grid. I, personally, would stick with the NA in a three model field mainly for that challenge but also because I like being able to change my wheels and their color, drive from the cockpit view, and flash my brights at people.
What are the thoughts of everyone participating in this series regarding this topic? Everyone is welcome to test the NBs that are shared in my profile. Take them for a spin. Do some back-to-back test sessions versus your NA and see if you feel the NBs are a good fit for the series. Let's get multiple viewpoints and input from the drivers association.

I'll try to get some testing in with them tonight. Wanted to do it last night but bought a PSP to go with my free copy of GT PSP and got sucked into that for the night.

My opinion. I would stick with one car, from the premium lobby. It just avoids possible complaints later. It's not like there is a large difference in the price of the used one and a new one. In the real spec miata series, the only reason we don't all run 1999's is that not all of us have $40,000 to spend. Some of us more regional guys are in $12,000 early model cars. My 1994 doner car was $600. You won't find a 1999 for close to that.
In the game, what's the price difference to buy and mod the car for the series? Is anyone who is planning to run the series going to have a difficult time earning $10,000 ??? more to buy the premium lobby car?
So what happens if the used car 1600's end up being just a tick better than the 89 premium car? Everyone is going to want to switch over. People will complain that their used car dealership hasn't cycled through any 1600 Miatas. It just seems like you'll be opening yourselves up for a mess.
You started this series to keep racing as close as possible. You even changed the suspension rules for round two in an effort to make it closer. Allowing another variable, with another car, just feels counter to what you are trying to build.
Again, just my opinion, from a guy who wasn't able to make any of your race dates in round one.

Cool, thanks xAmilli0n. Still haven't had much time to do much with this, but when I get back from Orlando everyone will see things really take off.

medium tires are tough -- you get used to laying down nice consistent laps with them warm and then the race starts on cold slippery POS tires...
Anyway, looks like we're done for now. So far I've tuned LSD to 25/20/5 and brakes to 4/7. Still have some breaking in to do with only 135hp/386pp after 85 miles...
