This is not a 100% set up race so constructive criticism is welcomed.

I hope to see you on the Grid.

Definitely interested in this, I enjoy stock cars of all power levels, as long as the tyres are appropriate. Not too keen on sports softs - a bit too sticky for my liking, given the low power. I strongly recommend sports hards or lower, ideally CS.

That said, I'd also suggest having the Clio race last, as it's the greater challenge to drive.

The order of races is defiantly up for debate 👍

Also as I somehow missed London has no pits so either we have light damage and try to make tyres last the whole race or we pick a different track.

I'll have a drive on the different tyres from CH to SS and see what feels best to get competitive and realistic racing from

 

[Akmuq]

I'm up for this, just a suggestion, SSR5 instead of London? It's a better alternative then Rome which is all about the draft.

Oh, and the yellow is impossible to read.

Hmmm, a night race would be a good alternative 👍

Ill fix the yellow now

I cant think of any other city tracks, cant look on the track list because B Spec Bob is busy breaking in a couple of cars for me

How would you guys feel about swapping the 307 for a VW Golf?

 

[yusername]

Golf would be much better, and also a true hatchback.

I had completely forgotten about the Golf when I came up with the event. Looks like the golf will be in the first race. Ill give you a choice until this time tomorrow, Ill make a poll. What should replace the London track, Tokyo R246 or SSR5?

 

[yusername]

I think Route 5. More suited to the car in terms of corners. Tokyo's very point-and-squirt, better for longer legs.

Cast your vote

I'll not be voting just to keep it fair

 

[m8h3r]

Only got about 15 hours left to vote, hope we can get one picked

 

[U4IK ST8]

I'll have a run at this. And I voted for SSR5 for first round.

Nice sharing.

[Jawehawk]

Unfortunately I have to work April 27th... Best of luck in the race guys.

 

[Zorrin]

I would be potentially interested in this. I would rather see it run on Comfort tyres - using the tyres the car comes with.

I won't know if I can make it until much nearer the date so a tentative from me.

[m8h3r]

Looks like it will be opening with Golf's on SSR5!!

I'll take the picture in a little while and update the main thread 👍

 

[yusername]

If sports softs are the grippiest tyre of choice, then I'm afraid I'll have to pass. Best of luck with this though.

I think I'm changing it to a choice between all the comfort tyres. I just went with Sports because I'm always racing on them

Does that temp you to reconsider ?

 

[yusername]

Comfort softs, then I'm in for sure.

Glad to hear it 👍👍👍👍
