Please read before signing up

I'm planning on having a single room for this series so the first 16 drivers to sign up will be locked into the field.  That said, if your on the fence about the series and not sure if you will commit to racing the majority of the events, please add your name to the "Alternates" section of the sign up sheet. If we have less than 16 drivers, Alternates will be used to fill in the gaps.

Sign up sheet -

@ Snoop - Hope you can make it.  I also hope to see some Euro guys in this one aswell

@ Gunny & Parcells. - This is a great car.  Easy car to drive and should make for some close and well controlled racing.

Dang that was going to be one of my 3 week cars on Thursdays...

This is a seriously fun car and even from the showroom it's pretty nice.

 

I'll jump in when I can but I've never been able to do much racing on Saturday nights.

Gonna see if I can make this happen... sounds fun. What do you think about using this car as the basis to start learning about tuning?

Not sure if this is the best to learn tunning as its realy grippy right out of the box and has no power adders so you wont see significant changes in the handling like you would in a heaver more powerful car where you can really feel the tuning differences.  Plus this is AWD so it adds more complexity to the tune.  That said, if you looking for an easy car to tune, then yes, this should be pretty easy.

  • Edit - 11/4/13 - Updated schedule - replaced Sunset Full with Laguna Seca in Week 2.  I was also testing the build with more power however the car seems to perform better with the original build so it will remain @ A590.  If anyone wants the build, please let me know.

I'd like to get in on this one... can you send me the tune? Also, does anyone have one of those WTC or ALMS style number plates they can send me? I tried creating one the other day and have come to the realization that I really suck at painting cars. Everything I  do comes out looking like a two year old's crayon rendering.

@Grim: Thanks a lot.

@all: Is here anybody from the faster guys (all here are faster :-) the me, who can publish reference times for all tracks?

If you see this car on track "Take care!" It would be the best to stay behind :-)

I've taken the cars around the tracks doing some initial testing but never really pushed it hard or fine tuned the cars to specific tracks.  That said, I hope to do that prior to the first shakedown the weekend.  I'll post my times once I establish them
