Time? Might take the XJ13...

 

[Brutaka]

Sounds awesome, however, do you think there should be 2 different classes because i doubt the Alfa and the Honda s800 can reach 620pp.

 

[The Bman]

I made some adjustments. Brutaka had a good point about the slower and faster cars, so now the Alfa Romeo, Nissan, and Honda will be in their own class, but only the Honda will be permitted to have any upgrades to it (to balance competition).

what day will this even be taking place? i only have mornings and wednesdays and thrusdays available but i do like this idea of racing.

 

[G_Parrilla]

I like the idea. I will try to be there with the Alfa Romeo TZ2 if i can

 

[Fryto]

Time? Might take the XJ13...

Good question, I'd also be interested to join, but as we don't know what time the race would be...

 

[The Bman]

I'm trying to figure out a time for the race to begin that most people can fit into their schedules. I can't have a race take place at 1 AM in one time zone and 8 PM in another as that would be unfair to those who would have to stay up all night just to race.

I was considering a 4:00 PM EST (9:00 GMT) start. If this doesn't fit well with anyone then I will change it to something that will.

 

[Farkup]

I'd love to give it a go. Either Ford for me.

 

[G_Parrilla]

If no-one enters the B-class, I might go with the 330 P4

 

[The Bman]

Are there still people who are interested? If there are then I will push the race back to the 29th.

This would be an awesome series to include the Dino, 250, 365, A110, Sting Ray Concept, GT350, COSMO, RX500, 2000GT, MK I GT40, C2 Vette as additions to B-Class.
