Fairlady Cup...Last race Suzuka West
Fairlady Cup...Last race Suzuka West
Fairlady Cup is to be run over six weekly races.
Race Rules
Non contact racing is to be observed, though paint rubbing is acceptable. There will be two races a night with the second race grid being reverse finish order from the first.
Damage will be set on (not sim)
No warnings but races will be saved in case of incidents...I don't expect any as long as Church keeps his wheels facing down 
Point awarded to the first three places.
Please feel free to run with your own paints with GT and Clan Race Number.
Liveries will be presented to the winners of the classes and cash...well fredits for second (two mill) and third. (one mill) Oldschool has generously donated the paints and he will post them up when sign ups start (if he reads this LOL) he has offered three paints so one will be awarded for 1st overall of both classes and one to the most entertaining driver, be that the most dramatic crash (church is of course favorite here) or the best banter, or even the most hopeless. The community will vote at the end for the most deserving of the prestigious Numpty of the series Award and that driver will receive the final paint. Many thanks to Oldschool for the paints.
The Car will run with tunes as supplied by PTR Paparazzi each track will have a custom tune. The tunes are all available on the PTR paparazzi Storefront. Many thanks to Pap for all his help and support.

This choice give three easy, three middling and three harder tracks. They run EMHEMH. Between them we have every kind of corner from tight hairpins to sweeping curves, plus corners that need to be strung together.
I'm in (as much as I can be :-))
+2
Im up for this cool car choice
I am happy to help people drive the car :)
Sign me up for the gift cars...I have three in mind...will post them here later, maybe to generate a little more eagerness...
Thanks mate, and thanks Tourni we'll see if the idea floats, I did expect a little more interest but maybe it just gone under peoples radar. I have also noticed that it tends to be the same faces turning up for all the series...Come on you more reticent drivers, jump in and give it a go.
I love series like this, but I also hate racing with a handicap! so for that reason, "I'm out"
KIWI
Well that is a shame as the idea is to keep the racing close not to have the fast drivers just walk away from the newer drivers. But there you go if close racing is not your thing, nowt I can do
Why not run a seed time when I decide on the track and see? you may not get handicapped.
LOL yes he would
Track and car combination is irrelevant.
Knight, KIWI is just one of those guys that are way fast, so yes, he would fall into the handicap. I'd love to participate since I was thinking of starting a series with these cars but Saturdays are difficult, especially before 10 PM Eastern. Good luck w/ it.
(((Alien)))
Yeah I think the biggest roadblock is that it's on a Saturday. For some reason people (not me) seem to have things to do on Saturday. For me, that's a day my wife works so it's a total game day :-)
Also the number of people playing has dropped to dangerously low levels. When the new version of Forza is released there's a huge influx of members to the club, but quite quickly they all seem to drop off. Unfortunately this time a lot of the regulars from the last couple versions have also dropped out. This hit's hard. So many of the fast guys that used to run with us aren't around anymore.
Other new guys aren't as passionate about the racing either. They get out there and realize how far back they are, and just give up. There is no quick way to become fast. You can get guidance to speed the process up, but ultimately you need the seat time to work on muscle memory.
Just continue to push forward and we should end up with a room to race in. You'll get interest at the last minute as well.
Ah well I will leave it open for a few more days and if take up stays low I will look at another day...though that will mean giving something else up...But I want to do this so I'll find a way
I want to race fella. Just the day
Tue, Wed and Sunday only for me.
Ok mate, I fully expect to have to change the day and it is helpful to know what days and times work for people
In fact Tuesday has no races being run in our time zone at all...so I would be happy to shedule it for then.
I'm out again.
Saturday is the only day, but don't schedule for me.
If u do put my name down fella.
Knight, I would definitely like to take part in this series and can make most nights of the week, Tuesdays and Saturdays included.
My issue is that I don't get "TV rights" until about 9:45pm UK time, so am rarely able to get online before this time. If it just so happens you end up starting the races at around this time or a bit later then please count me in.
It would be a later start on a Tuesday as I have taxi duties for my nearest and dearest...So despite the fact I hate you for turning up in the STCC and wiping the floor with the rest of the privateers It looks good for you
As long as it suits the other interested parties I will suggest 22.00 Tuesdays and see if that floats.
5PM EST? Tuesdays? I might be able to do that...
10..pm Tuesday.
Put me down for that fella.
You got a sign up sheet or anything going yet?
I thought Knight was banging around Europe somewhere swinging a large letter opener? Again I ask. 10pm in what zone? Or is Church deliberately provoking me?
BTW , these smiley's really suck...instead of looking devilishly evil, I look like I have stupid alien strap on head gear...
And what about driving aids....................................
22:00 GMT
And yeah these smileys really do suck
So, 22:00 GMT -12:00=10:00 -5 (est) = 5pm here on the beautiful eastern tip of NE Tennessee? I have a hard enough time trying to drive, for God's sake, quit making me do math!!!!
Jaysus this is like trying to herd cats LOL Yes 22:00 GMT... Pap Arse! I wanted you to be able to run this they, are your cars...
Church no sign up yet, as I need to know which Slot is going to get the most runners...and yes the smileys suck.
Cats are easy, try herding piglets!!!
Cats, Piglits I'll take 'em all over Sim Racers...how dare they have lives and live in different time zones, can't they see I'm trying to organize a race here
Hah! Add extended families to the planning...
