To be honest, I personally would prefer Laguna Seca in the Cup over Suzuka East but that's not my call :lol:

Stick it in Nationwide for sure Mule 👍
 
Got a provisional green light with the truck schedule. Also hang on to those Silverado's folks... :sly:
 
I would like to see Fuji GT over Suzuka in NW Mule. And possibly Cape Ring Inside or Autumn Ring Mini Reverse instead of Monza or HSR in NW.
 
Have you guys downloaded the 4.20 ps3 update? Just saw it when I turned my ps3 on a few minutes ago.
 
Its taking me a bit. Want to see if your(furi's) rumors are correct on US psn about motegi so I can get a new(used) game and psn card.
 
That is correct litchi. I could download it right now if I had the funds in my account to do so.

To all who don't know, I've been working towards setting up the above series as part of the GTP NASCAR community.

This is based on an actual series which started two years ago, and in only it's third year, became part of the NASCAR franchise boasting races throughout Europe during some of other racing events (they run same weekends as DTM on at least two occasions for example).

Now the series includes 6 races, and this year they are at:
Nogaro (France)
Brands Hatch (England)
Spa (Belgium)
Tours Speedway (France)
Valencia (Spain)
Le Mans (France)

The schedule that we will be using will be:
Nurburgring GP/D (exact same distance as Nogaro with very similar layout, and was used IRL last season).
Tsukuba (Yes, it's not European but it's an almost exact layout to Brands, and virtually same distance).
Spa
Either Daytona or Joe's custom Oval (Tours is only a 1/3 mile oval, as is Joes, and has been briefly tested).
Monza (Closest thing I could get to Valencia)
Le Mans.

I have two current options for when to host this, and they would be either when GTP Indycar S2 ends (confirmed with Tom), or in the 'Off Weeks' during S4 of GTP NASCAR Sprint Cup. Whichever is chosen will more than likely be a 11:30 GMT start.

There will be two races per event. A Sprint race (no stops) and an Endurance race (one stop).

Now my biggest dilema is as follows. The current cars (Chevvy / Dodge / Ford) used have a 450 BHP / 1,170 KG / 4 Gear Setups / All FR Drives.

So there are problems with the cars that fit more into these categories, and the ones I would like to use are:
Dodge Viper GTS-R Team Oreca Race Car #51 '00
Dodge Viper GTS-R Team Oreca Race Car #91 '00
Ford GT LM Race Car Spec II (MR Drive)
Ford GT LM Race Car Spec II Test Car (MR Drive)
Chevrolet Camaro LM Race Car
Chevrolet Corvette C5-R (C5) '00

Now these have not been tested yet, other than for weight and bhp, but they all look cool, set into race spec and would be a lot of fun to drive.

The alternative obviously is to use the actual NASCAR's in the game, which don't go low enough in BHP or Weight to be realistic to the IRL series.

What do you guys think we should use.

Remember, that this series is just a supporting series to the others and only there to further grow the GTP NASCAR brand and have some fun.

Thanks to Drop for letting me use this thread to get your views and ideas (and to Chqr for the logo).

Or perhaps the Challenger TC? Those cars are kinda tricky to equalise, though I love the concept.



~~~glitch at Motegi :grumpy:~~~

If you do a pit stop during a NASCAR race, your pit crew aren't there and you just sit there. I've only tested this in arcade mode with tire wear though.

Challenger TC is way to heavy in comparison to the others. It was an initial part of plans but unfortunately just does not fit with the others.
 
I think you do need something sort of NASCAR-ish car wise because with those that you mentioned (with the exception of the Camaro) it does become more of a sports car series.

And we have Thunder. Feel free to take the IROC Camaro's if you wish.
 
I'm trying to think think of muscle-like cars here; if they could be equalised, the Challenger TC, Falcon V8 and Chevy LM would be fun.

Appreciate the feedback so far guys, and taking it all in. So would you all prefer Friday once Indy S2 is finished for the season, or in the off weeks of Cup S4?

Yes but it would be later, in the Indy slot.

In my opinion, that's an awful slot for the Trucks anyway; wish there was another option.
