I am preparing some recon races for a potential regular event. I am hoping that these can become a regular sanctioned tuna event. These races are not going to be as regular as you are accustomed but they will have regularity in their own right. What I am preparing right now are celebratory races based on big names in the automotive and racing industries. Right now I have two races planned out and ready to be announced and more will come as my research continues. These races will have a set date with no rain dates, meaning if something is a miss like a network failure there will be no rescheduling for the event.
Right now I am uncertain as to if it's worth the effort to come up with a full 52 race schedule (One a week) so I may end up working a 12 race schedule (One a month). The level of participation in the recon races will determine the number of races I come up with for this. Should we decide that these races do become a "Regular Tuna Event" they will be annual and the schedule will simply rotate back to the beginning with the new year with little to no change to the individual events.
So far based on a 12 race schedual, I am thinking:
Michael Schumacher - January 3 - Ferrari formula 1 for 91 laps at Monaco (1 lap for every carreer win)
Enzo Ferrari - February 18 - Ferrari Enzo for 114 laps at Rome (1 lap for every year since his birth)
Nicola Larini - March 19 - Alfa Romeo 155 2.5 V6 TI '93 for Laps and track TBD
Dale Earnhardt -
April 29 - Buick GNX for 76 at Daytona Super Speedway (1 lap for every carreer win)
Tony Stewart -
May 20 - 2010 Tony Stewart #14 IMPALA for 54 laps at Indianapolis (1 lap for every carreer win)
Tsugio Matsuda -
June 18 - Calsonic Impul GTR '08 for 32 laps at Suzuka (1 lap for every year since his birth)
Richard Petty -
July 2 - Plymouth Superbird for 200 laps at Daytona Super Speedway (1 lap for every carreer win)
Jackie Oliver -
August 14 - Ford GT-40 for 69 laps at Sarth (1 lap for every year since his birth)
Ron Fellows - September 28 - Corvette ZR-1 RM for 52 laps at Laguna Seca (1 lap for every year since his birth)
Peter Dumbreck - October 13 - Mercedes CLK Touring car for 37 laps at Nurbergring GP/D (1 lap for every year since his birth)
Markko Märtin - November 10 - Ford Focus Rally Car '99 for 18 laps at various dirt tracks (1 Lap for every carreer Podium)
Manabu Orido - December 3 - Wedsoport IS350 '08 for 44 laps at Fuji (1 lap for every year since his birth)
For the record, I do think that 52 endurance races a year might be a little much, but for the sake of being theurough I'm going to go a head and put up slots for a 52 week season. (Largely due to a bunch of the people I look at overlapping but still.....)
