The Rolex Sports Car Series- Season 3 Ideas!

[polarbear345]

On which track does Top Speed come into play like that? I'd recommend balancing the cars to reach 255 km/h @ Spa's straight after Eau Rouge (Camal straight?)



Is it a Saturday?

Yes.

Thread is up!

@Anthony

With the new specs, The cars all feel quite good. We will obviously test them out, but I think you'll like how it feels.

Not going to allow the Mazda 787? There are 4 engine makes in DP IRL, Ford Porsche Chevy(Vette) BMW. Just asking. Doesn't concern me either way. And medium tires or softs? Or BOTH?

We're going for the 6/10 split.

Poll is going up in the spot race thread about tires.

Actually, Porsche has cancelled their DP engine program. No one has run a Porsche this year, and no one will until further notice. Ford, Chevrolet, and BMW are the only 3 engine manufacturers IRL.

BMW = Toyota Minolta (Ganassi blue + white?)

Ford = Sauber (Ford powered Riley?)

Chevy = Nissan R92CP (The Gainsco Bob Stallings "Red Dragon")

Madrid above Rome. See how the Rome ITCC turned out with similar cars, what about with two classes?

No originals then? Interesting.

Now that you bring it it up... I now understand.

Madrid it is.... For now. We'll drive it in preseason and see how it goes.

I may take a look at grand valley again..

And Sarthe........

 

[ghskilla]

Sarthe, Spa, Monza. That's what I think you're missing.

 

[polarbear345]

Monza has too many chances to cut, so we aren't going to do that track.

Fugi very well may make it to the list.

Spa and motegi- dlc, so that makes it awkward for people that don't have the dlc

Sarthe- just too long. If we put a all star race, it'll be there

Sarthe I can live without, but Spa should at least be there.

I do agree with you.

So I'll ask this:

Does anyone NOT have spa?

Fuji* is too forgiving. I don't like it, but if you guys want it, I have no problem with it in the schedule.

I never will get Motegi, so I could care less.

Spa is a legendary track, it deserves to be on the schedule.

Sarthe, another track I could care less about, since I tend to freeze there, but this season's race at Sarthe was fun.

We may do a week killer race at motegi. No points or anything.

But using the run off is practically a corner cut 💡

I think you should swap Indy and Spa and this will be great. 👍

I think it'll be a fun schedule, no races to really dread.

I think gp/d is more like Watkins Glen. GP/F... Ehh, just awkward lapping slower cars/giving faster cars room, I think.

Finalized car list (for those who aren't on the spot race thread)

DP: same as this season

GT:

Camaro
Rx8
458
Evora
R8

Daytona
Grand Valley
Tokyo 246
Nurb GP/F

I'm tempted to switch Madrid out with Suzuka...

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

^^ Nooooo... I like Madrid, & Suzuka would be an unsurmountably irritating race.

[freshseth83]

Suzuka is legendary. Madrid is confined with walls and not very wide for 2 class racing. I'd prefer Suzuka.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

What's wrong with walls? Suzuka's hardly legendary in-game. It just doesn't feel right.

 

[ghskilla]

I like both. Why can't we have both?

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Because Madrid's infinitely better!


Anyways, in seriousness, I'd like to see more city circuits. *no corner cutting, ever* & an instant reminder "you hit a wall."

 

[freshseth83]

Theres no place to cut at Suzuka. If you go offline you're in the grass or dirt. The one place is casio triangle, but you don't gain. 130R is another corner, but that's run off and going wide there is actually slower as you have to cut across 'the green' (which has no grip) to rejoin the track for casio triangle.

 

[ghskilla]

The green in Casio Triangle is basically 0% grip with 0% chance of making it out without understeer and oversteer at the same time once returning to the track. I've broke too late there in practice sessions, it's a hell of a place to be in.
