Discussion
The Concept:

Max PI 450
Max power 270bhp
Max weight 2500lbs
2 wheel drive only
Standard compound tyres only
No restriction on aero
The Races:
Short/Street circuit then long open track (different venues), 2 races per night, 15 laps per race (depending on the length of the track)
The same setup must be used for both tracks on the night
TrueSkill grid on the first race, reverse grid on the second

The Calendar:
Points:
Points will be awarded for each race, i.e. there is a maximum of 30 points per night up for grabs.
Notes:
Most rules subject to tweaking as no doubt someone will point out something limits the cars too much.
I'd like to keep it to 1 or 2 of each model, but I'm not going to enforce anything about that. While I don't want to ban any cars, if anything is way quicker than everything else we will have to discuss handicaps.
Anybody not on my friends list already please send me a request, plenty of space for everyone.
Please let me know your GT as well when you choose your car, that way everybody knows who is who both here and online.
I will update this OP to keep all the info discussed in the thread in one place, so keep checking it!
Oh and I like to have things properly organised, but don't worry, I won't be this anal once this gets under way...
Entrants and Results:
Entrants will be required to pay 100k towards the prizes, which will be distributed to the first 5 places. Carl has kindly offered to double the prize money, so the final figure will be presented once we have definite numbers.
To confirm your entry please buy a 1984 Toyota Supra from the auction house (seeing as everybody has rabbits now!).

Like the sound of this, love short track races, tend to be closer and more 'love' between the cars 
Just wish everything wasn't about championships anymore, sure there are a few on here who can't commit to same time same place each week.
Not to hijack the thread but methinks I might resurrect some one night tune and race evenings

You are the man when it comes to one night events!Just wish everything wasn't about championships anymore, sure there are a few on here who can't commit to same time same place each week.

I like a championship because everyone is more keen to get involved and build a car if they know they will get some decent use out of it.
OP updated also.

You say maximum weight 2000lbs but does that mean there is no minimum weight? or will it be defined by forza when the PI goes up etc, so less weight and less power?
I had a quick play with a few cars when thinking about that, and I found it very hard to keep the cars under 1500lbs, while still being within the PI. There is no minimum weight, as apart from freak exceptions, anything massively lighter will be rubbish all round everywhere else...But I like the feedback and if it turns out to be an issue I will enforce a min weight rule.

Any space left Alex? If so count me in buddy!
The more the merrier, as that will increase the chances of 1 or 2 decent lobbies.I'll do a table when I get home. (Does anybody else feel the need to check PH just before they leave work, knowing it is the first thing they will do when they get home?
