One thing I noticed that others may or may not agree with, in VTD1 i had to constantly adjust my cars for each circuit, a set up for Infineon would not work at Laguna seca for instance. Here in VTD2 though which is based at original circuits and the reverse seems to be true, I have kept the same set up on all cars for the last 4 weeks - only changing downforce settings at the different tracks.
Question is does this suggest a lack of surface detail in the original tracks compared to the ultra detailed modelling of the real circuits? I know for sure that bumps are modelled into the autumn ring and plenty others - apricot hill having some interesting braking areas for instance - I just cant ignore the fact that a generic set-up has worked for more than 1 car at more than 4 circuits!!
Anyway, will be running a few laps tonight and submitting my final times, enjoyed this series despite the lack of showing which cant be helped.
I think it would be good to plan another series with a slightly more long term / casual approach that would run a circuit for perhaps 2 weeks and encourage less mods on the cars (maybe more suspension mods but less power mods), and at the same time limit peoples (modification) budgets to make things more interesting.
Each week/two week stint at a new circuit could be hosted by a different person to take the pressure off individual people and a variety of gt4 circuits could be used.
Just some thoughts, as always it depends on how interested people stay!

I for one would love to see the VTD series continue and certainly agree with a number of Dave's suggestions here.
The two week period is an interesting suggestion, as I certainly have at times struggled to get find time each week, but some of that is down to work and also the time of year (nice and sunny = holidays and the pub).
We still have quite a few tracks that have not been visited yet and I certainly feel we have scope for continuing, I do also like the idea of a budget for modifications. I had a similar thought when setting the Golf up for this week, looking at engine mods I noticed that the rules would allow me to go to a stage 3 NA tune, which IIRC was in the region of Cr.65,000. I just could not do it as the cost looked silly in regard to the spirit of the series (not to mention the car runs in the 'budget' class).
I do think that strong limits on power modifications would be a good idea, but I am biased here as a focus on handling and set-up mods falls right into my favorite areas.
The real strengths of the VTD series for me (and this was also seen in Dave's Nurburgring series) was that it forced us to think very carefully about the mods that would suit the car and tracks.
In replay to Dave's point about the tracks and set-up required in the second series, I would have to agree with him to a large degree. I have had to do less radical set-up changes from track to track this time around. However I think this is mainly down to the tracks run this time around, most have been of a less traditional 'circuit' nature; with Trial Mountain, Deep Forest and Autumn Ring all being quite similar in nature. By that I mean they are all quite bumpy with some quite serious elivation changes thrown in.
It would have been nice to see the full Grand Valley Speedway in this series, as that certainly does have a very different 'nature' to it that the tracks we ran this time around. Please note this is not a critisism of the track selection, I enjoyed all the tracks, I just missed Grand Valley, as along with Deep Forest its one of my favorite 'original' circuits.
My one regret with this series was the lack of take-up of Bikes, I do fully understand that TT may not be everyones 'cup of tea' (how very British of me), but for me it certainly does offer a new insight to a lot of the tracks.
One thing I would add in that regard is that the bikes running on Road tyres do lack the grip levels of the S1 tyres the cars were running on (taking into account the smaller contact patch). If we are to run bikes next time around I would suggest that either cars run N2 or N3s, or that bikes run Production tyres to even things up a bit.

sweet.....ill get on that asap......right now actually.... 
thanks for telling me 👍
