I figurerd we would run both cars for maybe 10 laps each. Then, if anyone wants to stick around a little longer, I thought we might do a few short races in each car at a few other tracks too. I need to get the track schedule sorted, but still need to decide exactly which tracks I want to run. I think this woould be a better series on the shorter tracks personally. Except for Fuji. I do plan on having a fuji run in the series.

Sounds good yes

I agree on having shorter tracks. Tsukuba was perfect. We should have run Suzuka on the East or West, the full circuit felt a little big for a longer B class run. The race was still good, but it probably would have had more excitement on one of the shorter versions.

I'll get the tofu loaded up after work...

Yes, the shoter tracks tend to keep the field a little tighter. I also agree on suzukz last week. BTW, I love that Sprinter build. It's great fun to drive. Good job man.1

You know what else tends to keep the field a little tighter??? Everyone racing the same car!

Sorry to butt in but I couldn't resist this blatantly obvious con of multi-class racing that Parcells frowns upon for this very reason -> cuts in half the chances of me having a tight battle with anyone.

Ill go back to my room now.

No problem man. I based it off of your FR-S build, geared toward handling. It is a fun little C class racer, although I prefer my A class version. Now that's a driver's car!

Everyone is driving the same car. Yes there are 2 cars, but we are racing each one seperately. 2 cars=2 races (1 for each) everybody drives each one.

No worries gunny. you only got so many because I was using the invite club members feature in game. I don't expect everyone to come running.

the lobby kept breaking last night, so I ended up having to re-invite everyone several times.

Hey Cotter. I know your busy but do we at least have tomorrows track identified? I'd love to get some laps in tonight as I won't have time tomorrow prior to the race. Thanks

We'll be running the Medium Catalunya Corse tomorrow. I can't remember the name of the specific course. I YThink it's called the national circuit.
