Hi

I was having a play on FM3 earlier doing oval races with the NASCAR style cars. I was wondering if somebody was interested in doing a series racing them. I was thinking 3 or 4 races. 15 or 20laps with a pit stop. R3 or R2 limit.
Has this been done before or is anybody interested, just an idea I had, would just be for fun.

As long as its not at Sedona or all hell will break loose.

As a huge Nascar Racing 2004 player back in the day ill give it a go. But I would say you would need to do at least 50-80 laps otherwise it will be done in 10-20 minutes.

Also running stock would be a good idea as the cars are equal to begin with. Tuning them is a different ball game tho.

ok. So if we do 50laps and still have 1 pit stop?
I am happy running all the cars stock then just add our own paint.

Anybody else intrested?

1 stop should be fine on the ovals.

Ok me and Dan had a little play with the stock cars earlier, the tyre wear was high.
I need to look at what cars are available and go from there.
What days are people around? Do people want to start it after the Sunday one finishes. I am around most of the time but some people have work and family commitments.

The Chevy is the best, The Dodge sucks and the Ford lacks about 2mph at the top end.

You need the maximum ammount of laps and Sedonna would be fine wink

Ok. How about we go for the Chevy stock car, keep everything standard, which means if you dont want to buy it or are short of money you can use the one off the car list. The only thing you can change is the paint if you want to.

Just a thought, could we do rolling starts? Could use lap 1 as the warm up lap then the leader can gun it when they get to the last grid spot or something?
