7 cars for 7 days of the week - interest & signup

[steven]

this challenge is based on an ad i saw where someone had a key locker holding different car keys for each day of the week.
imagine that you could afford to have a garage with 7 cars ... which would they be?



in this tournament 7 cars will be driven around as many tracks and the choice of cars is up to you. normal olr rules will apply.

- only normal production cars can be used except for the track day car on sunday
- tyre compounds will be s3 except for the sunday track car (r1)
- minimum ptw ratios are given and must be respected
- track selection will be my choice of the finest in gt4 tho suggestions can be made
- hotlap laptimes can be posted including car of choice and resulting ptw ratio from weight and power figures
- fastest laptimes will be verified by checking submitted ghost replays

MONDAY: usa car, ptw 3.000 or higher
TUESDAY: uk car, ptw 3.000 or higher
WEDNESDAY: german car, ptw 3.000 or higher
THURSDAY: japanese car, ptw 3.000 or higher
FRIDAY: classic car from 1970 or earlier, ptw 5.000 or higher
SATURDAY: family car (4-door saloon or bigger), ptw 4.000 or higher, weight 2000kg or higher
SUNDAY: track car (touring or jgtc), ptw 2.000 or higher

this will be an open race format, so all races will be published at the same time. you will have all of october to try to be fastest of the lot. a simple leaderboard will be maintained in the race thread.

please leave a post if you're interested to join this nice little challenge. thanks!

my private cars selection could very well be (but yours will no doubt be different):
monday - shelby series 1 - 1081kg (-10)/357hp (+12)/ptw 3.028
tuesday - lotus esprit 350 - 1170kg (-10)/388hp (+10)/ptw 3.015
wednesday - bmw m3 csl - 1246kg (-10)/414hp (+17)/ptw 3.010
thursday - tommykaira zz-s - 621kg (-10)/206hp (+8)/ptw 3.015
friday - chevrolet corvette coupe c2 - 1233 (-10)/246hp (-1)/ptw 5.012
saturday - mercedes e55 amg - 2005kg (+5)/501hp (+7)/ptw 4.002
sunday - audi tt-r touring - 972kg (-10)/486hp (+5)/ptw 2.000

we won't be able to check the correct weight figures for the saturday car but i trust all participants will be sporty enough to do it right!

if the format of my challenge needs adjustment please say so dear gtp people ... i really would like this race format to start this week or the next!

well looks like no one signed up...well i will it should be interesting but i dont have anyway of showing my replays

Well, I find the concept interesting, but I guess the major problem is to be able to race all the seven days of any week. This is virtually impossible for me, and may be for most other people. If you can relax that, and say, run the series such "Get a new ride every week! For 2 months!!" or something similar, may be that will help...

you might be very right. it was never my intention to have gtp members run a race every day, but just name the races 'monday', 'tuesday' etc. because the concept of the race is based on the 7 cars for 7 days of the week.

maybe it shows my weakness in english as it being not my native tongue

If that is the case, it might fly well. Change the name and describe the concept to see if there are people interested. May be you could run the sunday race from a sunday to a sunday, monday race from a monday to monday and so on as well...

EDIT: Just noticed that you wanted this to be an open race format. In that case also, just mention that you have one month! Actually this sounds interesting now. I will give it a shot if the series comes alive.
