WSC World Sportscar Championship - Spurgy, Niop, Jaguar champions!!!

[Chqr]

Trucks may be back around Sprint Cup Season 3 time. Got plans for that. IROC is taking a break. TOCA S6 is intended to be started not long after S5.

Nice!

We could be back to FRL's heyday in 2011.

When was that, remind me?

Trucks or ARCA, thats for sure.

Well, when IROC started up and we had mega turnouts for that. 16 drivers at Indy, very popular test sessions and clean racing too.

Trucks brought all the Nascar giants full-time to FRL.

TOCA S4 contrary to popular belief saw some really competitive and comparatively clean racing.

The glory days are coming back. The sun may have gone down on WSC, with the darkness of the Ring coming up... but greater horizons are coming...

maybe targa florio is not the best track to drive the Ferrari for the first time...glad I got to try out a C1 car though, even if I was slower than in my C2 car.

Some more S2 news:

C1 Ford & Ferrari, 4 cars each.

C2 Vette, Camaro, Challenger, GT40 at 565pp

RM AND RH tyres (reversal of previous decision

Limited damage.

Limited damage.

So much for a poll...

 

[paulmac2k9]

Furis logic. Ignore what everyone else says or votes and do what he wants..

I'm out.

 

[paulmac2k9]

Your Fired.

Fixed .

 

[Furinkazen]

I would have full damage if I got a major overwhelming yes vote but I did not...

 

[Akmuq]

Surely a majority is enough, because, quite frankly, the series is crap with light damage.

 

[Furinkazen]

!!!!

~Drivers with numbers in italics can win the championship~ 5th place in class guarantees Spurgy the title.

Jaguar Makes Champions!

EDIT Yes I know Chappy and Jag are wrong way around.

 

[Spurgy 777]

5th place in class guarantees Spurgy the title.

Mwahahahahahaha

 

[gokartman78]

go with the poll on damage...

 

[DaxCobra]

Ill change my vote from the pole from limited to full.

13 to 7.

2/3rds of everyone want Full damage now.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

I would vote full damage but didn't because I'm not in the series.

 

[Spurgy 777]

You'll all just be complaining next season at Targa Florio when you keep getting damage for running wide and clipping the barrier, unless you live on your ps3 for a week learning the track . Most of you weren't there, it was a horrible race and we only had 8 people, with 16 I wouldnt be surprised if half the field had damage after the first corner. Plus from my general experience of WSM, full damage just ruined people races from the start because everyone bumps into each other at the first corner, and with long tracks like Le Mans and Nurb it would just ruin your race straight away trying to go a full lap with damage. I dont see the point of making a vote if you dont use it, but still, just saying what I think will happen if full damage is on

Which is what I am considering in all this...

 

[Akmuq]

Use my Targa Florio instead, kick the rubbish drivers when they ruin races and put on Heavy Damage.

Congrats on GT Academy btw Spurgey.

 

[Spurgy 777]

Congrats on GT Academy btw Spurgey.

Thanks, I'm 1 year too young to qualify though which is really annoying but will hopefully be racing formula cars next year, passed my car racing license on Thursday

Thats the ARDS test right? Congrats on that, no wonder you're kicking our backsides on track

Congrats! I hope to be in F2000, or Formula Ford, or anything for that matter!

question for Spurgey and Nitro: will you be in a Formula car that you or your family own? Or are you running with a amateur or professional team?

I may be doing high speed autocross later this summer in my father's Porsche 944 race car (the car originally ran in North American Sportscar Association's spec 944 series)
I don't have the money to run my own car yet, but someday...

I don't know. Hopefully I can drive for someone, but realistically both will cost money. So anyway I can drive one really!

I will probably be hiring a car and running with a team because its too much to but a car, a cheap car is about £10000 Im hoping to do 1 of 3 series:
Formula 4: We know someone who has a Formula Renault from 1997 for £4000 that can run in formula 4, only problem is we would have to build it ourselves
Formula Jedi(no lightsabers involved ): This is quite cheap because theres no tv coverage "only" £15000 over the year if we hire a car from a team.
Or Ginetta GT5 Challenge: This is least likely because they say its £30000-£40000 for the year, but from what we found out the monthly cost isnt much more than the Jedi, but it has tv coverage so we might be able to get some sponsors 👍
Im doing a couple of test days this year and will start next year, but can only afford one test day on a proper track, I will most likely go for Formula Jedi @ Silverstone. There is also a possibility of a Ginetta Junior test day that is meant to be quite cheap but Im not sure about the details.
I will let you know how it all goes if youre interested

Yes I'm interested. PM Me it.

 

[Akmuq]

I went karting yesterday and the people running the track said I was one of the best they'd seen on a pay to drive day. I'd assume they have run proper kart events as well as it was certified by the French karting association(whatever it's called) and they had proper racing karts on sale. Kinda wish I'd be able to take up karting as it's so much fun and I'm apparently really good at it.

I'd be interested Spurgey but if things don't work out this year you should be able to make GTAcademy finals next year which could get you some attention for a drive.

 

[Spurgy 777]

Ok, Im hoping for a test day within the next month so Ill post on here when I know for definite, and Ill PM you nitro as well Also feel sorry for my driving instructor because I can start driving on the road in just under 2 weeks And yeh thats my plan Akmuq, if I do well I should hopefully be able to get sponsors and some all important money to move me up the formulas maybe even by Nissan if I do really well, but it will probably be very competitive next year. Also going for apprenticeships with some of the top F1 teams if I can after college to try and get in from the engineering side, then one day say, "now that Ive built it you have to let me drive it"
