Well, not this week coming, but sometime in the future, you will all get the FF rally car being asked for, but not this week. 
I've actually got two races in mind for next week and I want to run them by you all. (without specifics)
Would you all rather have:
A single car hotlap on a course capable of separating us all a bit more than the castrol has done.
Or
A 2 car comparo. Very, very similar cars. An average track, and maybe even a multi-lapper in arcade mode.
So which would you all like.
A single car hotlap to separate the pack.
Or
A comparo to establish the king of ________.
Go ahead and weigh in, I will be waiting.

After the BMW/Toyota weekly a few weeks back part of my likes the option of two cars th choose from but the other part of me doesn't like having to go get two cars, break them in, test then etc.
So I'd rather see the single hotlap personally...one that seperates the men from the boys like the 787b/monte combo did. That being said no stupidily high power car, race cars fine...but not say a 1000hp+ skyline. I like the concept of a simple car with limited modifaction (tires, maybe engine parts) under a PW/R limit...like a mini or a tuscan or even a vitz on a circuit like laguna or something....
Or a stock RUF RGTwith no TC/ASM and T5 tires on say deep forest or laguna...wink wink....hahah

You may have ruined it for everyone... as if I told you about my thoughts that laguna may be in the future. You're not another member in hiding are you?
Thanks for the input.
I will take it all into consideration.
However, I do want you to mark your own words tonight.
1000 hp road cars are no good huh?
And you wanna "separate the men from the boys" ?

hahahaha...1000hp cars aren't bad, in RACE cars.....I love my RUF RGT...but not so much in the stage 4 1000+hp version. I like road cars that are within real world high performance limits. You don't see many 1000hp+ road cars out there (I know there ARE some but they aren't the norm). Again it depends on the car. I think my point is i see too many times on these boards the "Dude, I just bought the suzuki and have like 1800hp and dude I can go 500mph"...or "dude, like I just maxed out my skyline and drift everything dude...yahhhh!"....hell if I want that I'll go buy some rocket/hover craft spaceship video game where I can fly 1,000,000 miles per hour and go around loops of death...notice I don't own a game like that so why make GT that way too....
The men from the boys....didn't the speed 12 do that, hahahaha!
Nope I am not another member, just some guy in New York City who likes to race.
if I could pick all the races and only race the cars I like what fun would that be...the challege of the weekly is running a cars I have never used at tracks I don't go to much and trying to get good lap times. If I could run my RUF everywhere what fun what that be.

I guess that makes me one of the boys then, right?
Cya at the finish line for this week and every other.
However, be careful, cause this boy is gonna be runnin hard thanks to my new inspiration.
And you may get your wish yet... Im quite the fan of the rgt.

if the speed 12 made YOU a boy then I am just a little girl...
I just ran my RGT around Laguna (filling up my bank account getting ready for next week's weekly, the supra cleaned me out last week) and with TC off it is a HANDFUL....just so you know... :-P

Yeah, all's good.
For real, I didn't even run the 12 after the first 2 days of total frustration. (I cant run a 12 without tuning.)
As for this week coming up, I think I've settled on the car... but the track?
Oh well, suggestions are always welcome.
Later.
Hm. Seperating men from boys. Grumble. Cote d'a SOUR. 787 bud. 
I'll take that as an age compliment then? (see w52 results, waaaayyyy below
)
Not too far behind the pack this week, I'm improving (slightly). I agree with scuderia, if I wanted to drive rocket ships I wouldn't have bought GT3. But that 787b around monaco was a blast! Really had fun doing that, no really!
The hotlap races are sligtly easier on my time schedule, and maybe easier for newcommers to get the hang of tuning. But a 3 or 5 lap race is a bit more realistic and should scatter the times a bit.
The tahiti maze also sounds like fun.

Just checked. The last one was in week 43. 2 laps at Apricot Hill.
If you like to rally, you should check out Mr.P's ARC II at the short race series forum. We start in a week, and Tahiti Maze II is on the program.
And I sure could need some div 3 company overthere. Till now I'm the most "relaxed" racer in the competition.

Im glad to see activity here jumping up a bit. It gives me an idea of what everyone wants rather than a few people that have specific races they want for glory chasing reasons.
Check this out... I dont think I will get to do it because it is based on specific tuning and people tend to whine about this sort of thing, but...
380hp @ 9100 rpm .vs. 380hp @ 8400 rpm
1100kg .vs. 1103 kg
2.894 pwr .vs. 2.902 pwr
.360 twr .vs. .339 twr
Those are the stats on two cars I wanted to compare... they lay down very similar lap and 400m times. It was a nice test to set up, but like I said, everyone seems to dislike this sort of setup.
However, I would still like to here what you all think... would that make for a good comparison or what?

Hi Niels,
Glad to race you, but I'm having my hands full with the weekly races as it is. I have a rather busy daytime job, so the weekly races are perfect. I have to pick up on the tuning and the driving itself, if I get the hang of it I may join mr.P's short race in the future.
I don't know what you mean exacty gokents, is it the car setup everyody dislikes, or the type of race? B.t.w. that reminds me to go win some races, that supra dug a big hole in my credits.
Just remember, it's the drivers that make the race. I think you can't do much wrong with the weekly racers.
Have fun!
Rolf

Well thanks... and about what I meant above...
I was trying to get across the point that alot of racers don't like either, A. multi-car choices or B. tuning to specifics.
In response to these 2 possible gripes, I would have to say that:
A. Pick a car based on something other than numbers.
In a comparison of 2 cars that are so close in numbers, it's gonna come down to the driver. (as seen in the fact that someone like mr.p could probably beat me in a castrol supra, when I am racing in the denso... just a guess on that one though.)
So pick a car based on something like the tuner or team that makes the car, or the appearance of the car, or the history of the car, or the nationality associated with the car.
Anything, just not the stats.
B. Tuning...
Sometimes the only way to make a comparison even is to use specific tuning.
Like in the above comparison, the two cars are tuned like this...
Car 1:
Racing exhaust
NA1
Port ( no balancing )
chip
All other mods. (suspension, trans, etc.)
Car 2:
Fully maxed
Light weight stage 2. (not stage 3)
Whats so interesting about the above cars is that there is still a thrid car that could try and run. (although it would never keep up. )
That car being the same kind of car as the other 2, only a racecar version.
On this racecar, the stats are very close again, but fully maxed out for tuning.
(not a very fast racecar. )
Anyway, you guys just keep hitting me with ideas.
And let me know what you think of this comparison stuff... I love to create those sorts of things. (btw, that IS .vs. 328 showdown was a good one)

It looks a bit complicated to me. I dont mind the idea of having a choice of cars or mods to do to it but in my humble opinion Id just try and keep the selection as simple as possible.

thinking it over I like the idea of a multilap race. 3 (or up to 5 depending o tires) laps back to back (no cherry picking your "best" laps and adding them together). This rewards consistent driving...and if it was done in SIM mode with super-softs by lap 3 you'd have to really watch your acceleration due to the tires. In SIM mode it would also adding your starts off the line....AND your ability to drive in traffic and not hitting others....

I'd like to see more arcade and/or stock cars involved. Any "specific tuning" would be just the same, if that meant everyone's settings had to be identical.
I will probably be scarce again for the next couple months, as there are a couple major series i'm driving in, but if there are any get-in-and-go races, I'll be there.

Okay I see. Hmm. I think it is pretty hard to check the tunings if somebody submits a lap. For instance this week: I can't get my times under T2 40 secs. What if I added the stage 1 turbo, slightly de-tuned the engine (to make the speed increase less obvious) and then just subtract that extra tenth off of my lap?
Chances are that if I don't overdo it, nobody will notice. So if you do what you suggest, (lightweight stage 1 only for instance, this is even harder to check), the race gets harder to check up on.
Furthermore, (but this is a personal issue): Some people also "normally" race GT3 as game. This means you can't mess up the garage too much, or eat up credits. If I was to do what you say, I would probably drop below 1 miljon credits. The Castrol Supra ate up a large portion of my credits. A couple more of these expensive car races and my credits are gone.
Even worse: Suppose I had the car you suggests allready. Doing only lightweight stage 1 would require me to buy the exact same car once again, now having 2 in my garage, just because I want a HEAVIER one? Looks silly doesn't it?
Just my 2 cents. I trust your descission will be an intelligent one

Got the PS 2 out of storage and running it last night. . . I don't have the computer running alongside it yet so my car choice is pretty limitted. . . May I request a Deal Bought car only? I have no clue what types of races have occurred in the past 2 months since last I ran, but I am down for a little Deep Forest or Trial Mountain to tell the truth. . . Maybe a RSX Type-S fully modded . . . Reason being, the woman will let me drive as long as it is a model of her car
