Format would be similar to the Wednesday series I ran last year with GT5 (Ferrari & McLaren).
The theme this go around would be classic European sports cars from the 60s and 70s. And I'm not referring to high powered machinery. No, instead this time the cars (stock) will have 390-420 PP. These won't be the pricey Euros either - more the working man's sports cars of the day. Given the lower power of these cars grip (or lack thereof) will be the name of the game to keep things somewhat challenging. Tires will be sport hard only. Drivetrain configurations will be FR, MR and RR.
I've drawn up a list of 7 cars with which I will start conducting tests to determine their competitiveness. This series might not be a stock spec series, but I want to keep everything as close to stock as possible. Penalty ballast will again be used to equalize competitors.
I have also come up with a list of 9 6 European Circuits for use. As before with my last series there will be a mid season break. And your worst race result can be dropped (top 5 finishes count).
Let me know your thoughts! I'd like to have something ready to start in 4-5 weeks. :)
Current potential entrants list:
1) WolfpackS2k Alpine
2) TunaPhreak
3) dlrws6 2002
4) nosoks
5) F1Cheetor
6) MastrGT 2002
7) dmcallis Alfa Romeo
8) peyepete
9) Numbskull Alpine or Dino
10) Feldynn Alfa or 2002
Car choices won't need to be finalized for a few weeks.
-
Sounds like something I could get into, assuming in 4-5 weeks I have the cash/cars required. Damn having to start over...
-
Maybe, I'm afraid it may depend on what happens in the 1.06 update. If things work out put me down for the Trans Am. :P
-
Ah yes, I wasn't aware of that update till you mentioned it (just looked it up online).
dlrws6, this series is just going to be European cars. So no flaming chicken for you! Sorry :D
-
:'( bumber... some how I saw 70s and the word muscle. So natuarally I think Trans Am. Still I'm currious. :)
-
after the last great evnet you put on Dawson i'm interested. Don't forget Wiz has a wednesday event in the works too, hope we can squeeze both in
-
I could totally change to another week night. I don't want to step on Wiz's toes.

Go ahead and keep it on Wednesdays.
I'm going to move my evnet around a bit.

Been fine tuning things a bit. From the initial list of 7 cars I've pared it down to 5, and 1-2 more may possibly get cut.
Current options:
'73 Alpine A110 1600S
'71 Dino 246 GT (detuned to 140 hp - stock is 201) ( I swear this car is like the S2000 of the 70s, defying it's PP rating)
'73 BMW 2002 Turbo (with stock 4sp tranny swapped out for 5sp)
'65 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA 1600 - (155 hp with bolt-ons)
'72 Lotus Europa Special
I might shorten the series length, as racing 400PP cars may start to lose their appeal after a while. Tracks that are definitely going to be on the schedule so far, however, include:
-Brands Hatch GP Circuit
-Silverstone International Circuit
-Nurburgring Nordschleife
-Circuito di Roma Reverse
-Circuito de Madrid
-Cote D'Azur
possibly La Sarthe (might be too tedious)
-
drivers that have currently been showing interest:
1) WolfpackS2k Alpine
2) TunaPhreak
3) dlrws6
4) nosoks
5) F1Cheetor
6) MastrGT 2002
7) dmcallis Alfa Romeo
8) peyepete Alpine or Dino
As with last time, race start would be at 9pm EST with qualifying and practice beforehand. ;D
-
Just posted at PS Forum, you can add my name to the list, thanks.
-
Wolf, is it the '73 Alpine, or the '72 that's posted at PS Forum.
Alpine or Dino for me.
-
sorry about that Pete. It's the '72 Alpine.
I'll have an official series thread up and running shortly here in this forum.
-
I'm thinking BMW for me, but I have not tested yet so it could change
-
Sounds good. Having driven it a lot I can tell you it's very lively but you will most likely be surprised at how tail happy it is, mainly in lift throttle maneuvers. I think I've spun that car out more times than some of the MR cars :D
-
possibly La Sarthe (might be too tedious)
driving around the French countryside is rarely tedious (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)
I would probably use the Dino, but am going to check out some others before i commit. Whichever car will of course be Imperial green metallic

i concur
Also I'm interested too, I need to take a few of the cars out on track but I'm initially leaning towards the BMW 2002 (possibly the Alfa too, will any bolt ons do to make the 155hp or is there a specific list?).
-
hmmm... well in case your doing the color thing again what ever car I pick if I race will be some combination of Onyx Black, Rosso Monza and/or Solent Silver.
-
Feldynn, getting the Alfa to 155hp is rather simple. You have to use all the bolt-ons, hahaha. (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)
race exhaust, exhaust manifold, catalytic convertor, engine computer, intake manifold (I think that's all of 'em?).
The problem with using La Sarthe is the variation in top speed among the cars. The Alpine and 2002 are redline limited to around 138 mph while on the other side of the equation the Dino and Europa can hit 145 drag limited, which means with drafting they could go even higher.
I suppose for that track I could allow adjustable transmissions, which would eliminate the issue altogether.
-
Put me down for the t-rex (dino)
-
Two questions.
1. Can we use custom wheels and if so are we limited to the stock diameter?
2. In regards to the BMW 2002 can I use engine/exhaust mods to get to 176 or is my only option to get an oil change?
-
If 176 is indeed the hp rating as attested to by MastrGT then just do an oil change. No bolt-ons please.
I honestly hadn't fiddled at all with custom wheels in GT6 but feel free to get new wheels as long as the diameter remains the same.

10-4 :)
