TOAS - Taking Over America Series // Australian V8s
The Australian V8s will be taking over the USA in this upcoming series. Over the next 6 Rounds, the V8s will roar through America to showcase their raw power. From the infamous Brickyard to Atlanta and back to down to Florida, this series is here to show who the real boss of the V8s are. The under-estimated V8 Series will make its way across the pond for the very first time, will you be able to raise the trophy as millions across the country and more millions across the world watch you make your way to the front? This is your chance to prove youself in this once in a lifetime event.
The TOAS will consist of 6 rounds, mixing both Oval and Race Circuit tracks. The V8 will have some small upgrades to suit everyone's skills, while on both Indianapolis and Sunset Speedways, the V8's will be unleashed as their restrictions will be removed to roar past the spectators at over 200mph. The V8s will have the normal 620 bhp, while on the 2 Speedways mentioned above, the Horsepower will climb to 874 bhp, showcasing their true potential.
Drag Tyres will be used in this series to emphasize on the tyre wear, forcing drivers to make 1 or 2 pit stops depending on the track. The race length will also vary. 60 Miles on the Race Circuits and 100 Miles for the Speedways.

UPDATES
May 9th 2012: After much testing, i have decided to add Drag Tyres to the cars to bring in pit stops into play. I have also turned this into a 6 Round series with a mix of Oval and Race Circuit. Hope you like the format. I will add the dates tomorrow. Just to let you know though, i will try to make the dates either Saturday or Sunday to suit as many drivers as possible. The timings will be 7pm British Time for us Europeans and 2pm Eastern Time for you North/South American. If need be, i will move the race 1 hour later if American drivers think its too early. Let me know what you think, and i will adjust the timings and dates (When they are up). For now though, please tell me if you would like to race in this series, and pick a car/livery.

With Drag Tyres, i will change the Pit Stop Rules. But i will just have to test one more thing and i will update it as the final Rules. So another 30 minutes, and i will let you guys know. At the same time, i will provide a mock series line-up if everyone is interested. 3 Oval Tracks with 3 or 5 Race Courses. 
V8s...Taking over the world. 
i didn't notice you in the Pepsi car! i got to look carefully next time...
