Okay well I'm gonna wait until you finalize the car list to pick cause it seems like it's still subject to change. But I will do both NAEC and the regular season.

Ok do you have a idea of what class your going with?
 
Probably GT. I took my McLaren for a test drive and hated the way it felt. And since this will be my first series I don't want to be in the faster class until I get more experienced. So I'll go test some of the GT cars. I should know by today or tomorrow.
 
The specs of the 'DP Class' are almost exact to what they'll be. GT Class is next up, so I'll get on with the specs of those later.

For a basis I think these are rough specs to go with-

Aston Martin, V12 Vantage; 550hp 1370kg
Chevy, Corvette C6 ZR1; 520hp 1300kg
Dodge, Viper ACR; 530hp 1300kg
Ford, Ford GT; 500hp 1320kg
Audi, R8 5.2; 520hp 1320kg

Audi, R8 5.2; 520hp 1320kg

The specs I already have are all in the 1:59 range. They just need to be closer in the 1:59 range. I had one be 1:59.069 then another be 1:59.360 so they just need a small tweaking.

Sorry, James. The Ford GT is much faster than these cars at the specs you give for it. It's not even close. It needs more weight and less power to be equal. The Aston Martin weighs a bit more than the other cars, so it needs more power to compensate.

Go ahead and correct my specs. They aren't the best.
 
Well, first off you should change the OP to represent that the specs are TBD on the cars until I run them at other tracks. I'll get back to you (i'm using racing softs btw for ultimate lap times).
 
Okay I've decided to use the Ford GT. I managed to get it to run very similar lap times to the ZR1 in the OP. It had 515hp and 1300kg.

James, I'm sorry for asking so many questions but will the be weather/time changes for the tracks that have it? It would be pretty cool. Will there be a Manufacturers Championship as well as a Drivers one? Will there be separate NAEC, WEC, and Regular season championships or will they all be together? Like, will there be a NAEC champion, WEC champion, regular season champion, and then at the end an overall champion? And lastly, I was wondering if you could switch out Motegi for a track that isn't DLC? Like Suzuka or maybe even a city course like Madrid or Monaco.

And another idea would be to have an hour or 2 practice session the day before the race so we can see how our cars compare to others.

Ok thanks I will update the OP with your car option.

Its fine don't worry. Yes we will. I will be looking at the weather for that area the day before the race. Yes they will al be seprate. There is a different champion for all three championships.

And lastly, I was wondering if you could switch out Motegi for a track that isn't DLC? Like Suzuka or maybe even a city course like Madrid or Monaco.

Maybe we can do that I will talk to seth and think about that. Are you talking about Spa also or just Motegi?

Yes we can do that and maybe qualify that day also.👍 Good idea face.

Well, if you know anything about making a fancy logo or any type of photoshop skills, that'd be helpful!

Okay I'll look into that. I was pretty good in photoshop class at school. What should I include in it?
 
Well, the title of the series once it's finalized, and the Manufacturers names. Also a nice type of background that has a transparent finish so it looks professional. Maybe a table with the cars and drivers could be included when we do points standings, but that's another time.

Make it with some of the cars and give it a cool intro. Maybe something like "You thought you've seen all the road racing series?" "Ha...not yet". How does this sound?

Well I am getting everyone first and last name so we can use it in the points tables.

So you're thinking like something that moves? Thats something you'd have to use Flash for and I'm not sure if I could do something like that on my computer I'd have to look on the internet. But I could do a cool logo with the series name and some cars maybe. Like a big metallic USCC on a black background with some straight pipes behind it blowing fire or something.
 
That sounds crazy. I know the guys on this forum use some website to make their own images, not sure what it's called though.

This sounds SWEAT do that and put the manufacture logos around it GT on one side & DP on the other.
 
TVR Speed 12 in DP and BMW M3GTR in GT. I'll take a picture of all the cars and give them to you and james, I think White for all the DPs and then A dark grey for all the GTs will be good. Anyone can paint their car what color they want, it'll look good with those colors though so you don't have some rainbow affect of cars in the picture.

Eh... not really that happy with it.
 
I think it's too big. It'd look better smaller, and you don't need to put DP or GT in the picture since the car list will be right below it 👍
