Any particular reason why you think everything I say is about F1?

Um... okay... I haven't heard one brag in recent memory... but whatever.
And so, penultimate race approaching. Are we changing the points system or no?

Preseason- This will be longer to make sure specs are equal!
Daytona road course
Rome
Cape Ring South
Madrid
You MUST attend 3 of these to be eligible in the regular season. If you pm me with a good reason why you can't, I will make a exception.
Regular season-
Daytona Road (NAEC)
Nurb GP/D
Tokyo R246
Cape ring south
Indy Road (NAEC)
Madrid/Rome
Laguna Seca (NAEC)
Let's discuss!!!

Madrid yes = Rome no. <== My vote
Anyways, I've been working on specs. Same problem, I guess. The cars without front aero feel slower in corners.

Feel? How are the lap times? Best way to figure this out is by racing. That's why I'm tossing 2 more races in

Someone doesn't want to take a break between seasons!
I'm definitely not doing races on Sundays, I watch racing on Sunday's, and since I plan on trying in school this year, I'll be studying

^^ a lap difference on some tracks, two on others, and they're even on some.

Break, racing? What? No, I want to be competitive year-round, when I don't get confounded by bad luck.

I tried to get a good balance of tracks in the pre season, would you like any changes? Mostly so that we could get specs closer all around.

ghs, a "break" can allow you time to tune, and prepare. Daytona's an easy race to win, if you can get it right. That sets you up for a good season. Look at Storm.

We'd still have races, just not points races.

Like I said, the only break would be from points races.

And why do you enjoy summer break? Freedom? Freedom to be lazy?
The pre-season is that freedom to be lazy. You tune during pre-season, and get your car set-up for the full season. Then, after that, you only need small changes for the entire season.
It's still just as much fun, but, the points situation doesn't matter.

I almost enjoy it more
we get to see some new guys, and we have massive grids 
If that caution wasn't so screwed up, we'd have 12+ grids every week, no doubt.

We understand cautions now. Let's not change them. Adds a "let's keep going, even if some idiot in a Porsche takes me out" factor. Makes it worth waiting 'til the end of the race, without pulling over/quitting. Also, it can be a huge strategy call, which adds an "oh, 🤬, what should I do?

^^ This needs discussion. Seriously, the cars are miles apart, for tire wear.

That's why I brought it up mel
Thing is, will the meds fix the tire wear problem?

They'd lessen it. I'm not sure what it would do with the lap times, though. But, Mediums would wear out a little less quickly, which would help to keep the longer battles we have, going, until a caution, OR would, if nothing else, lessen the gaps between the cars. I have a feeling that Storm's won a few races in Season II by pitting less often, due to his improved tire wear. Paul couldn't make his tires last as long as my Mazda's tires, surprisingly, and Storm ran two laps longer than the Mazda; advantage to Dodge, and it's huge.

I'd like to return for season 3 in DP. If were using mediums on the DP's. I'll take whatever car is available. I also would like to suggest we have stewarding on incidents and proper penalties for bad driving. Maybe a voting system on the severity of the penalty from an incident?
With tire wear being a problem for certain cars, they should run a lighter weight IMO. Also with lower power tire wear is lessened. So the GT's with tire wear problems now may not be so bad next season if you run 400hp.

I only couldn't at SSR5 when you over baulked the Camaro and I needed to go nearly flat out to keep up. In Toyko, GP/F and Indy I made my tyres last longer.. But that's mostly driver related than car.
