Anyone fancy a pre 1980 Forza 3 championship? (Thursday 8pm)
Discussion
I was thinking on the way home that a classic championship would be fun.
Pre 1980 cars only, Maximum A550. No engine, drivetrain, or aspiration swaps. No upgrade wings either, although things like aero scoop bonnets are allowed (because they are cool). No ESP or Traction Control, but ABS allowed.
The only other restriction would be on tyres - The standard tyre compound, with a maximum of two width increases in total, to be divided between the axles as required (i.e. one at the front, one at the back, or maybe two at the front, or two at the back)
the idea of that is that it'll keep grip right down, which allows the little cars to mix with the huge American beasts, and make sure everyone has to drive the best way (i.e. sideways)
I'm thinking maybe do it on Thursday nights at 8, races about 15 miles long, and a 5 race championship. Anyone who fancies it stick their name down below.

I've been having a bit of a muck around with all the old cars I have and I think this will work nicely. The fastest of all that I found was the Charger Daytona, which will do 190 down the Mulsanne on the old Le Mans circuit. But it is ridiculous around tighter tracks.
The little cars (datsun, lotus, that sort of thing) are managing about 175 down the same straight, and are going to be much faster around the tight tracks, so it should make for some tight racing over the "season".

I'm thinking a season something like this:
1. Le Mans Full Circuit (with Chicanes) - 2 Laps
2. Laguna Seca - 6 Laps
3. Sunset Peninsula Speedway - 6 Laps
4. Sebring Short Circuit - 7 Laps
5. Nordschleife - 1 Lap

I should really be spending all of my time revising for my exams, but I've only got 3, and forza is soo tempting, especially with old cars,

Any other 'restrictions' on the vehicle type? Or any banned cars? You just know I'm planning something evil
Nope, any car is allowed so long as it's pre 1980. That does exclude the Renault 5 Turbo and the Fiat rally thing. Other than that it's just the limits above. Even if you find some car that can get a silly power to weight ratio the tyres mean you won't be able to use it. Any other 'restrictions' on the vehicle type? Or any banned cars?
