I havent competed in any of the PH championships for bloody ages, and this is right up my street.
Apart from When I am away for LeMans I should be able to get on every week too.

I need to do some testing and see what I get on with, very tempted to go with a capri.

See below for most recent testing, most of the cars feel really close in times, the cortina is very easy to/suits my driving style so easy to be quick and consitant.

CAR Time Speed Trap Notes
63' Cortina 1:15.264 118mph
72' Celica 1:15.807 116mph feels very fast
65' Mustang 1:15.825 118mph Good lap
73' Bmw turbo 1:15.852 120mph
70' Camaro 1:15.883 122mph Wide Tyres
70' Escort 1:15.974 128mph Not much room for grip in PI
72' Capri 1:16.457 120Mph
65' Mini 1:16.552 117mph Im not very good in FWD

ok guys so last night I was playing with the celica and its frustrating the hell out of me. Milton ho the heck have you managed to get it to do a 1:15. my best time was a low 1:18 round silverstone international. Worried that I'm going to be majorly outclassed here. Think I will try another car and see my results but yeh milton might need to teach me a few things :P

After a little bit of thought I would just like to weigh in here.

As you can allready probably tell, this is going to end up as a Lotus Cortina championship if we arent careful, as after a bit of testing and a few cars It seems to be quite a bit quicker than the others. Not to mention the sheer amount of downloadable leaderboard tunes.

IMO I think we need a No Forza Aero and Self tune rule (ok to share tunes between the league, but not downloaded from the SF) just to keep it fair and even as the Cortina is clearly a bunch quicker than the other ones I've tested. But thats just my 2p's worth and feel free to shoot me down if you wish but its just a suggestion.

I agree. I'm going to be choosing a Lotus Cortina. It would be daft not to.

Not bothered testing the Cortina tbh.

Maybe we need to lower the PI for the Cortina which will render any leaderboard tunes useless...? Or limit the number of each car as suggested previously. Or if the Cortina is going to walk every race - 1st, 2nd and 3rd have to start the following race 20-30 seconds (?) behind the pack?

Well a pi drop/gain is good maybe front 3 drop 20/10/5 pi and the back 3 do 5/10/20 pi gains that should work. alan

No Forza aero sounds good, tuned a Cortina without aero as it looks fking wrong on these classics anyway, managed to do a 1:14.900 on silverstone international. Didn't realise that a) the car was that much quicker than everything else and b) the champ was going to turn in to Formula Lotus Cortina, I'll have a play with a Mustang tomorrow...

ive been playing with the other cars and it doesnt look that bad against the cortina, issue is the cortina is so easy to drive fast,

ive played around in the MP setting and found with 5% reduction in grip the lap times come up the 15.5 to 15.8 range so that may be an idea,

just hope people dont all chose it, also a thing to not it doesnt have a very high top speed so on the longer straighter courses it could get passed then may not be able to battle back.

ive got 3 cars now down into the 1:15.400 area so not far off the pace wink

Had a quick go this morning. Cortina is definitely quicker but not by too much - about 0.4 quicker for me around Silverstone International than the other 3 cars I'm likely to run.

As long as half the field isn't made up of them I'm sure it'll pan out at different tracks...

maybe limit them to 3 or 4. make them first come first serve.

set a date for a new post to go up like a sign in post, the first 3 people to sign in and ask for the the primary car choice and a secondary

its what i have done in previous comps and it worked great,

P.S
OP im happy to help run this comp with the background logistics etc
