I like this idea, different selection of tracks from the norm smile. Would like to run in this if you go ahead with it, definitely in something rear drive driving

I think it might be a good idea to wait 'til the February DLC is released, I'd be quite surprised if we don't get the BRZ/GT86.

Indeed, count me in too. Apart from being a Japanese coupe (that rules out most Scoobies and all the Evos) are there any other restrictions on the choice of car?

What about the Lexus', Infintis and Acuras, they pretend to be American but we all know where they come from. I'd prefer to be in something rear drive and was thinking about an NSX either the genuine Honda or the Acura.

Tuesdays are best for me but I can move stuff around, it doesn't make too much difference, this sounds like it should be another good race series

To increase the circuit numbers you could run them in reverse

Car Restrictions......

Evo's are a no and all scoobs apart from the 22B. Acura and Infinity are allowed because they are Honda's and Nissan's, just badged different for the American market.

I have chosen to go for class S, reason being, if you want to use a Skyline or NSX R you cant create a car which is that different if it was limited to A600, so S700 is the maximum PI Index.


Circuits......

Now does anyone have any other suggestions?? I wanted to keep it as Japanese as possible however, i think Tsukba over a 40 minute race will be more like banger racing than proper racing as the track is so small and there are not many places to over take. I was thinkin of choosing an American circuit, either Laguna Seca, Road America, Maple Valley or Road Atlanta. Cast your votes.

As for the Feb' DLC, that might be a good idea, i am pretty sure i wont be choosing the new Hyundai or Subaru but i will wait and let other members of the championship have the benefit of the choice of these cars.


In terms of the cars, i am not bothered whether it is RWD, 4WD or FWD, the cars can have engine upgrades also either Turbo, Supercharged or N/A.

Finally, there will be a 15 minute qualifying session, it will be a reverse grid so therefore the quickest person will start last, i will also set the cars off at 3 second intervals, over a 35-45 mins race, you will easily catch the slower people up. If the differences are not that geat then i will reduce the interval time. Qualifying will be a 15 minute session, simple, set your quickest time, dirty laps do not count, if your quickest lap is a dirty lap, you will start behind the slowest clean lap.

Points for qualifying
1st - 5
2nd - 3
3rd - 1

I will finalise the race points once i get an idea of how many people we have.

Oh and i will probably need some help in organising/setting up the races as i dont have a clue hehe

Set yourself up a private lobby and figure out the settings for both the qualifying and the race itself, then save those settings so you can just load it when needed. I'll be around later (6ish) to help you figure it out if needs be.

Any chance you can resistrict it to no aero and a PI which a tune will be unavailable? Say 695PI?

I personally would rather have aero but a strict PI at 695 sounds a good idea. Lets see what the other members agree to as i am for not using a tune on the storefront, it should be your own tune.

I like your idea, although Iv just setup a perfect s700 NSX that uses aero frown
