V8 supercar series, taking sign ups

[TDZdave]

I'm currently in motion of re specing all the car's, the biggest issue was the merc chassis, it handles so well, so finding the balance for it is going to be hard,

the IS-F RM is actually a very good vehicle, and at the base spec was very well balanced as it was the only car that was capable of 50/50 weight making it incredible through the bends with its brilliant balance,

 

[TDZdave]

All these car's were spec'd with maximum tuning part's available, please keep in mind the PP level's are there to keep aero down,


new spec's for modern muscle, 680BHP @1400KG, Camaro SS '10 must not exceed 616PP
Camaro at 616PP keep's the aero point's down to 15 front and 30 rear, equal to the dodge,

new spec's for classic muscle, 550BHP @ 1285KG suggested, neither car can exceed 590PP
590PP keep's aero/ BHP in check, but how you tune aero/ bhp is entirely up to you,

and now spec's for v8 supercar category, All engine tuning is allowed,
PP level's are here to limit down force point's for some car's,
Lexus IS-F Racing concept, 700BHP @ 1350KG, 628PP
Lexus IS-F RM, 634BHP @ 1350KG, 622PP
Ford Falcon XR8, 640 @ 1350KG, 625PP
Corvette C5R, 590BHP @ 1339KG, 618PP
Camaro LM, 600BHP @ 1360KG, 616PP
Merc CLK TC, 575BHP @ 1200KG, 615PP,

the CLK may not be added to the car list pending further testing,

 

[TDZdave]

Can anyone who get's a spare moment please try these spec's for me and notify us of your results,

 

[Shoe67]

I can run them later today, but doesn't it seem a bit much to have the corvette with 100hp less than the ISF? When it is only 11kg lighter?

 

[TDZdave]

it does seem so yes, but even still I think 590BHP is too much for the corvette, it really is very well balanced, its still fastest in the speed trap,

also all those car's were spec'd with maximum tuning available on the engines, to avoid cheating, but the key is the PP level's, to try slow down the beautifully handling corvette and camaro if you think the corvette ZR1 or Z06 RM fit better your more then welcome to try line them up,

Shoe this post has been edited, just making sure your aware of the changes,

Dave, what time/date is this series? Im looking for a step up to more powerful machinery so Im thinking about it. After JSTC.

And that reminds me, I have yet to show you my own take on a V8SC

 

[TDZdave]

yeah I just saw your name and realized..... OH 🤬 ME! I forgot to do your nissan, I can sort that out in 24 hours or so if you like,

I dare say this will be a weekend event, Shoe would like it around bankfin time slot, but that's around the time I leave for work, so it could be Saturday morning's for us, well 12 noon for me, so around 9AM for you if I have converted accordingly, which would make it Friday night's for the United states, or it will be around now, 11PM Saturday's for me, to try make it more Euro friendly,

 

[phil bell]

I like the 9am Friday/Weekend one.👍 You're GMT+10.30 right?
I don't think a Blitz Skyline would be competitive in this company anyway, I have it on Mediums in front and hards on rear just to make the front turn, so no sweat.
Also, I dont want to sound pushy but if you do not have enough sign-up's you might consider changing to a 2 or 1 class race.

 

[TDZdave]

its 11:10PM right now,

as for the skyline, unfortunate no, the down force point's aren't high enough, but it can meet power and weight,

 

[phil bell]

Well I'll be keen to test one of these days. I can grab an ISF RM or Ford Falcon.
Do let me know the final time/date when you can mate.

 

[TDZdave]

sure can mate, just going to wait on nochance09 to reply to a PM I sent him, and for shoe to check and reply,

and you just want the IS-F RM because it looks like the Kelly Racing Nissan Altima, can we expect it to be in the Black with white wheel's JD racing colours?

 

[phil bell]

Oh if I do get a ISF RM, it will be bright red with white wheels, a'la early 2000's HRT cars.

 

[TDZdave]

you disgust me! though if you were to do that scheme it would be preferred if it was on the IS-F Racing concept, looks more like the VE crapadore

 

[phil bell]

Thats IF I choose the ISF RM.
I can help you organize the series if needed. Lemme know.

 

[Shoe67]

I might change up from the Camaro and use the ISF. 700hp is a ton

 

[TDZdave]

Thats IF I choose the ISF RM.

Sure, you can go over the spec's and let me know if they're good or not like shoe is, the more input the better, specially with 3 different driving styles,

I might change up from the Camaro and use the ISF. 700hp is a ton

have you compared both vehicles?

 

[Shoe67]

I have not yet had time to compare cars. I will try to run some later tonight, but if I can't it will be a few days

 

[nochance09]

Sorry Mr Dave have been working over xmas my new work times only has me home sat night and sSunday so might have to pull out sorry

 

[TomBrady]

I'd like to join but what day/times of the week do you guys race? I wanna make sure I'm around to participate

 

[TDZdave]

should be Saturday's mate,

 

[REBELRCN85]

I'm down.

 

[TDZdave]

cool,

 

[REBELRCN85]

Does that mean I'm aloud to join the series.

yes it does mate, so far here is the current list of car's and spec's, cars and specs may change pending everyone's satisfaction, this series won't kick off for another 4 weeks minimum though,

 

[REBELRCN85]

Can we only use cars on the list?

 

[Shoe67]

Can we only use cars on the list?

Yes. What cars would you want to use?

 

[TDZdave]

yes mate, those car's at those power and weight specification's,

 

[REBELRCN85]

Just one for the hole series.

 

[TDZdave]

yes, but some maybe dropped from the series if they are deemed to fast or to slow,
