I really hope mid-field is on the calendar for next season. (nudge-nudge flip.) That was a great season guys. Congrats again to BC and SRT.

Congratulations BC on the Title this month :-). Hopefully you'll be able to get into all the races next month.
Congratulations to Dr and KG on the Team Title. Great job performing consistently.
Also I want to apologize for lacking performance and being more of a road hazard last night then anything else. Not normal for that to happen, can't figure out what starred the domino effect of errors which led to all the incidents I started last night. Well after all the series we have run together 1 race was eventually going to turn into a crap show, it had to be this one :-(.
Great job on running the series Flip can't wait until next month :-)

For those who can make it tonight, I'd like to have a room open where we can test all of our options at the same time. Below are the specs for each car, grab the Lambo and at least 1 Fiat, and we'll see where things go. I remind you that Fiat has a slight edge in the vote at the moment.
All cars have full aero upgrades, full tuning upgrades, and oil changes.
Fiat 500 1.2 8V Lounge SS
- 437 PP
- 198 hp
- 920 kg
- Engine upgrades: All upgrades, Low RPM Range Turbo Kit
- Weight: Stage 2 Weight reduction, then add ballast to 920. You can have the hood and window upgrades as well, but you'll need to add more weight.
Abarth 500
- 431 PP
- 198 hp
- 920 kg
- Engine upgrades: All EXCEPT Engine tuning and and Turbo kits.
- Same as the Fiat.
Lamborghini Gallardo
- 558 PP
- 570 hp
- 1300 kg
- Power: 98.3% on the limiter, no other upgrades.
- Weight: Same as the Fiats, in terms of how to get to 1300 kg, but with a Stage 1 weight reduction.
As for circuits next month, Monza, Rome, and Midfield are confirmed (not in that order). The final track is sort of up in the air at the moment. and will depend on the car. If we go Fiat, I'm looking at Tsukuba. If we go Lambo, maybe Bathurst. Hope to see you guys tonight!

Thought about it, but the speed differential is waaaaaaay too great. For the people in the Lambo, the Fiat is basically a brick wall. I have run a multi class event in the past where there was a speed differential in the classes, and they need to be closer in speed than you think. Then again, we can see what happens tonight with people in different cars.

Right, decision time.
After last night's test session, I think we should go Fiat/Abarth for next month. It's a very easy car to jump in for everyone, but it's still a fun car to race in for the faster guys. It's like drag racing in slow motion... but with corners.
There will be no team's challenge this month, since we are all in the same car.
The calender will be as follows:
Rome
Midfield
Tsukuba
Monza
A few other things I'd like feedback on:
Tires. Go harder with a Street set, or keep Racing tires?
Race Format: We will continue with two races a night, but I'm thinking about shortening Race 1 to 15 minutes, and keeping the Main Race time at 60.
This should be a fun month! Now on to finalizing TC1. It never ends...

I vote sport hard tires

The slicks had too much grip IMO, sports tires please!

Tires I can go either way. I think sport tires will be good.
On another note, what about tire and fuel consumption? The car simply sips gas and with sport tires I am unsure how fast they wear, maybe speeding up tire/fuel wear/consumption might be a good idea.
