I was wanting to hold them on Sunday's but with SFS I was not wanting to step on toes. Guess it could be done as it is an hour or so would be all it would cut into the current Sunday schedule.

Sunday would be nice, but I'm not asking for a change. I am making more level 24 tickets from what was sent to me. So if anybody needs one let me know.

Sat/Sun/Mon are the best nights of the week for me so I don't mind a switch to Sunday.

I must say this idea has piqued my interest. I've never raced the Formula 1 cars much simply because I couldn't keep up with how quickly things happened. I'm curious if knocking them back to 500hp might tame them enough for me. To the point I'm going to go try it right now.

If it helps, I tried running a Formula GT in the "Real World" seasonal and having to detune it to 750PP made a huge difference in it's handling (in a good way).  I largely detest driving LMP cars for similar reasons but I found a that to be much easier even with my DS3 controller (aka the Plastic Banana!).

I turned a few laps at Suzuka yesterday afternoon, my time severely curtailed by an update download and installation. And having to agree to the Terms of Service at least twice... maybe three times. (FU, Sony, I said "I Accept" already!)

The F2007 at 500hp is very manageable. I ran it on R1's. Still have to run an ATX though. I just can't seem to flick through the gears fast enough but the auto tranny handles it very nicely. I could see racing these things.

Very interested! I love and been wanting to use fully tuned F1, not sure how much this detune is but I'm still interested.

Also have 24 tix to throw around if anyone else needs one!

I def can't make halloween as it's, well halloween and my wife's birthday, but should be good for most rest of the series!

My PSN is PsychoPhreak, not TunaPhreak. You can tune a car but you can't TunaPhreak!

I had to take my car back to about 72% power to make 500hp. Originally, it was 70%, but I lost some hp after running practice laps at Suzuka. Don't know where I'm at with oil changes and such.

got in the F2007 tuned her down and ran a few laps at Monza on R1s with Allstar...... don't know if we were fast but the car seems easily manageable. I should be in Indonesia by then so don't know about my ability to join in. but I will give it a try

I tried it out for a few laps at Fuji on R1's and it's really a lot of fun. I did about 10 laps and got a 1:24:000, I don't know if that's any good but this could be a blast.

I'm in for Mondays but I can't do Halloween either, should be good for the rest though.

Was not thinking of halloween when I made the schedule doh! So as an adjustment I could push everything back one week and make the 2 weeks off before the European leg schedule just one week. How's this adjustment seem for many of you?

Current schedule

1. Fuji F    Oct 31
2. Suzuka    Nov 7
3. Laguna Seca   Nov 14
week off
4. Daytona Road Course    Nov 28
5. Indy Oval     Dec 5
6. Indinapolis Road Course    Dec 12
2 weeks off
7. Cote d'Azur    Jan 2
8. Monza        Jan 9
9. Nurburgring GP F     Jan 16

All races would be between 30 and 60 laps with the Indy oval being a 120 lap affair.


Possible revision

1. Fuji F    Racing Hard
2. Suzuka    Racing Medium
3. Laguna Seca   Racing Soft
week off
4. Daytona Road Course    Racing Medium
5. Indy Oval     Racing Hard
6. Indinapolis Road Course    Racing Soft

Cautions will be identical to the Tuna Cup Series.
