This looks to be fun, I’m in! Not sure which car yet though, I’ll do some testing and get back to you on that.

 

[RacingGrandpa]

I want in. I had planned to run a race with start one hour later but I'll pick another date and post it.
Will do some car testing and come back on what to run.

 

[Adam Barber]

Looks great fun although doubt I'll be able to make that time slot.

 

[AfraidRacer]

Might make it if I can...looks good man!

Saturday afternoons are iffy time wise, but if I'm around I'll definitely drop in.
No tuning right?

I think no tuning is the way to go with one offs unless it's something ambitious like a Le Mans.
Too much time spent for everyone to make a tune.

Hope to see you topless.

BOP will be on N300. Gear ratio should be tunable.

Added the Cobra. Slipped my mind for some reason.

I'm leaning towards the Vette. Dressed it up in case.

 

[MaxAttack]

I'm in, I have a DB3...

Sorry for the conflict.

Maybe you could run it immediately after? TPC double header.

It's not a bad idea, but need some time to get the server set up and get it running....
I'll save a server setting. How long is your event time wise?

Probably less than an hour.

 

[Drex124]

Anything for the right price.

You mention a qualifying race, how is the grid set for the qualifying race?

 

[O604]

You mention a qualifying race, how is the grid set for the qualifying race?

Every race will be set to Reverse Grid. Q Race should be reverse DR based. But could be a surprise.

Also maybe a rule that you can not fully stop during the Q race. Won't be enforced. Just will give side-eye.

Note on BOP: Lobby will be open settings/honor system to allow Gr. X. For example my Corvette, I'm using the BOP for the 350 Shelby [96/105] as they have approx. same power/weight. I'll see if I can do the same for the other cars.

 

[O604]

Did some testing. Posted some BOP at the top in spoilers. Keeping it simple.

Aston and Jag at 100/100. Other cars will need a tune.

 

[Drex124]

One hair tie and controller combo later, I now have a DB3S, and I tried to keep the paint somewhat era appropriate while I ruined a perfectly fine car.

 

[RacingGrandpa]

I have a few Cobra liveries so I'll pick that

 

[OJBrit]

I'm in.
I love the idea, but I'll have to see what I have/ can afford.

 

[O604]

Sorry/not sorry for making everybody spend Cr. I guess nobody is showing up in the Honda.

I can do that, I like the little rocket

 

[O604]

I think the max is 80 hp.

Still sticking with the Vette. I have no top on in this photo.

 

[AfraidRacer]

I'll try to make it in if I can.

 

[PletdeKoe]

I saw Topless racing. Topless… This is not what I was hoping for.

We can all run topless IF you prefer that

Nobody wants to see me topless...

Not grabbing the Honda. It can't get above N100.
Cobra can't get below N400 though.

 

[RacingGrandpa]

And I now bought the Vette concept car. It's just credits and soon it's all in vain.
