So as a farwell to GT5 we"ll run a 2 make champ world tour which will take us up to the launch of 6.

Cars to be run are

Car 1 - STOCK - MX5 TC - on Sports meds and hards

Car 2 - Classic 1.3i Mini *tune below* on Comfort softs and meds.

MINI Spec:
Stock weight 720kg
Sports ecu
Stage 2 engine
Sports intake
Racing air filter
Sports exhaust manifold
Sports cat
Racing pipe
Full gear box (to allow adjust for certain circuits, decided each week)
All other drive train and suspension stock.
Power should be around 104

Ballast will be fixed for the season as follows:

- MX5 Mini
1st 120kg 90kg
2nd 100kg 70kg
3rd 85kg 55kg
4th 75kg 45kg



Format:

10 mins qualifying session to form grid for race 1. This will start at 8.30pm every Sunday from 15th Spet. Car used will be the MX5 on odd weeks (1,3,5 etc) and the Mini on even weeks (2,4,6).

What ever car you qualify in you run in race 1 and then swap for race 2 of each week.

Race 1 & 2 will be same format. 60 miles or time limit to 40 min per race. Eg wk 1 at Suzuka the minis lap is around 3 mins, by distance we should run 17 laps but this will be reduced to 12 or 13. etc.

Both compounds of rubber used for each car during the race. min distance on a set is 2 laps.

Within the 1st few laps we can and may call a safety car. these can be called by mic users and the lead car will control the train - if major damage occurs those needing to pit overtake the snake, so no weaving in the snake. Pitters will then rejoin at the back of the snake. I will then let the lead car control the restart - give 2 points from when they can race again.

Fuel and Tyre wear is on very high for every race.

Damage Full - weak slip - no driver aids other than ABS.

Calender is:

R1 - Suzuka (full)wet - quali in mx5 tc, race 1 in MX5 TC - race 2 classic mini

R2 - Tsukaba - reverse off above (mini for quali and race 1 etc)

R3 - Nordschleife (change time) - back to R1 order but 1 lap quali

R4 - cote d'azur as per R2

R5 - Indy road as per R1

R6 - Spa wet - as per R2

R7 - Daytona road - as per R1

R8 - Monza wet - as per R2

R9 - Laguna - as per R1

R10 - Twin Ring Motegi West Course - as per R2

R11 - Fuji GT - as per R1

R12 - N24 circuit with weather and time change - as per r1 but with 1 lap quali.

Runners and riders let me know if your in. If Ive missed anything shout.

One last thing - I'l be running Black and Gold wheel combo for this season.

What flip said!

Gt40 is wild big respect. Everyone else wasn't in the same sport let alone race.

Glad you had an awesome day evo. I had a few encounters with oppo today - the roads were so wet hehe

Nick get ya ass back racing. Oh and six months and no healing, just hope it has by next X-ray.

Quick bit of info needed.

Is the MX5 TC the download version direct from the dealer? Mini will be second hand from used dealership?

I've no headset so will things like safety car become obvious?

I'm Binkyfoofoo on PSN.

I'll be back to ask more no doubt in about 10 minutes biggrin

Just found a classic mini in my garage, trouble is I've pimped it right out with top everything. I can't turn engine tune to 2 so can I just limit power and the same with the weight, can I just ballast up to the limit? No problem if not I'll keep hitting the second hand place to see if one turns up.

No worries with headset as long as you can hear us though your sound. If not it should be obvious even we cruise around at 40 mph.

Make sure you add as many of us you can I'm same as ph tag

thats ste mate, fingers crossed, we ended up hanging hopes on next x-ray for many years! I really, really hope its not the same for you.

think rFactor is the way forward for me right now seeing as PS4 is due out not to far away.
Rfactor?? Nah at least simraceway or iracing or similar - I loved rfactor just a bit dated now.

Me to mate. X-ray did show the 1st sign of some healing but gap still big. Dr is hopeful I I won't be counting my chickens.

On another note I'm starting to hate ios7.

If Sunday runs as per my test then it'll get light on the out lap and dark towards the end of hot lap.

During the race we could drive over the equivalent of 3 night/days
hehe
