It will be a good time and you will participate. LOL

Most likely on the weekend after the Mazda thing is done. Actually, an exhibition featuring this car will fill one of the Mazda's off week time slots. Still finalizing the build and terms of engagement (race settings).

please like the video and subscribe to my channel. I have my Roxio Game Cap set up now and plan on doing weekly videos. Thanks in advance.

I love the car - reminds me of Grand Prix Legends on the PC! If you're in Parcels' Thursday night group then you'll see this car as the "spec car" the second week of February. I put enough modifications on the car so that it will somewhat handle like a GP car from the 60s - light-weight, high in horsepower, primitive brakes, no aero, etc. Running a lineup of F1 tracks that week too - Monza, Spa, Monaco, etc.

I can't do week nights. You should post that build or PM it to me. I'd love to check it out.

here you go. the whole point was to try and get the car to feel like the ones modeled in Grand Prix Legends. I went with Sports Hard tires becauase cars back then did not use slicks, and i ledt the brakes standard since the brakes they used were still relatively primitive for the time. the hard suspension actually handles more like a GPL car because it's a handful, but i went with the softer setup for our thursday night group or else it will be a trainwreck!

  I am going to buy a second Rocket and build it to these specs. It looks like it will be am awesome ride for sure. All that power in a super lightweight chassis like that.... Nuts! Can't wait to try it.

Looks fun, quick question though...

Does the car get gifted at any point in any of the career league series, or should I just go ahead and buy it?
