Gutted to see Sarthe go, but I can agree with everyone on it's length being annoying. Still, a day to night race (NOT 24-hr) would have been nice.
I'm saying GP/D for Nur, for a change more than anything...
Not a fan of Fuji, especially if we're having Suzuka and Tokyo aswell. However, I'm stuck for ideas on what to replace it with. SSR5 Reverse maybe?

So are we not sure about Madrid still?
Or are we shooting for 3 street circuits? Rome reverse may be ok, I'll test it out tonight if I have time.
Anyone have a preference for race length?

NO! That last Tokyo section is bad enough in the one section it appears. With Rome being that narrow for half the lap.
What about considering Tokyo reverse? That way when we funnel into that section, we should be at a slower speed

I don't mind Tokyo R246 in reverse.

Word of advice on Madrid, do a pre season there first as 2 classes there could present big issues as Seth said. Mainly due to the track being so narrow in S1 and S2.

Yea it does get really narrow, but Grand-Am did run Belle Island Detroit this year. Madrid could be our Belle Island.
Another topic: Could we add a drop round in the points system possibly? I know that I will lose the Season 2 DP championship because I have to miss the finale. Of course, that is only my fault.

246 reverse screws you in the pit stop entrance. The regular layout isn't as fun IMO, but it's at least allowing speed in the pit entrance.

Monaco would feel more prestigious, but it is very narrow meaning that two classes should be a mess. Maybe we should ask about how it went for the ALMS guys? Though they also have Madrid I believe.

There were only 3 GT cars and I retired from that race. Meaning for the full race distance, there were only two GT cars racing and being lapped by LMPs. Results there might not translate well against a group of 3 fighting for the lead, or more.

Monaco just wouldn't work, unless we wanted a world war to break out on here! I'm iffy on Madrid too. Maybe SSR5 reverse? Our city course choices are quite limited.

NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll behave at Madrid, but, the track is invisible at SSR5.

No, your TV sucks or something. The track isn't invisible. I'm a fan of SSR5, reverse is challenging.

It's not his TV. The track was invisible for me at the hairpin too.

I've never had that problem at SSR5. NEVER, I've ran SSR5 in every series I've made and I have yet to see that. Maybe it was the host? Or was this on a separate occasion?

It was during the race this season. I don't believe everybody was affected by it. Only certain individuals.

+10 to the whole quote.
Tried SSR5 in reverse last night, and it blew my mind out badly it caught me out. Nearly every turn I bombed it into a wall. It was like driving a completely new track with teflon gloves on my hands.
I never found a problem like that at SSR5 in the season though.

My track disappeared in the pace lap for the hairpin with the different racing surface. Besides that 1 turn, the rest of the track was completely visable.
I would like to keep SSR5 going forwards rather than running the reverse version. I just don't get why you would want to run something in reverse when you can run it forwards like the track designers intended.

SSR5 has been available in reverse since I can remember it. I really wish they had SSR11, that's even BETTER.

That's true, however I don't believe there were a lot of opportunities to race SSR5 in reverse. Well more necessities than opportunities.
Also, SSR11 is better, though are you talking about the original version or Gran Turismo 3 version? I personally prefer the GT3 version.

If you are talking about the Gran Turismo 1 version then I agree. The GT3 version just didn't do justice to how good that track was.

Everyone ok with a 9 race season? Or does 10 make it that much more magical?
Also, I think enough people want a "drop a race" that I'll do it for season 3.

I say 10 races with a drop for your lowest score of the season. That way the people who don't have Spa will be alright.

That's what I'm thinking. Now to find that last track and get all the graphics done and the thread up!
