Addiction wasn't an intended side effect, but glad y'all are enjoying it as much as I am.

I can see it now...Car Lottery Series
At the start of each season, every team will get the same exact car for them to modify. They will also get a series of randomly selected parts that they must put on the external body of the car (i.e. random aero bits, some random aftermarket stuff and whatnot, you never know!) or replacing components with the randomly selected ones (i.e. engine parts and other stuff). Removal of interior and exterior components is allowed to an extent (i.e. no removing doors, the bonnet, and other crucial parts), and engine tuning as well as suspension tuning is allowed (unless otherwise stated with the randomized parts). No additional parts are allowed to be swapped out from the OEM parts (aside from the randomized parts).
Races will range from 30 minute sprint races to 24 hour endurance events with one driver for the 30 minute races, and up to 4 drivers for the longer endurance events.
For example; you're given a Mazda MX-5 NC with a Camaro V8 engine, an aftermarket front bumper, some incredibly narrow rear tires, and a stereo (yes, a Pimp-My-Ride-esque stereo). You would have to swap out the stock components (if engine swaps have to be done, they will be done for the competitors prior to the teams getting the cars) with the parts given to you. After that, you would be free to do whatever you wanted with the car (you MUST keep the randomized components on the car) to tune it and make it as fast as possible.
Point system will be the FIA F1 point system.
Codemasters had some races like that in DIRT 2 and 3, and they were great things. Tempermental at times, but great fun.Group B Rally Cross
Exactly what it sounds like. Take the big powerful cars from the famed Group B rally days and make them safer even more exciting by putting 6-10 of them on a tight, twisty, controlled circuit.
I'd use the same rules as GRC even.
The nonsense 'Chase' drama and mandatory yellows will be abolished. The winner is determined simply by who scored the most points through the season, with higher finishing positions scoring more points. No BS, just racing.
Racing will be a mix of old and new circuits (featuring the return of defunct circuits such as North Wilkesboro), with more road courses being held in places such as Road America and Laguna Seca. In addition, there will be a return to dirt track racing at Eldora, and several races held at ovals in Europe and Japan. Foreign cars allowed and races being held with the intent of attracting non-American fans.
Series/Class: NASCAR Winston Cup Series , stock cars
Car Type: 4 door sedans
Rules: Must be a current model in the manufacturer's lineup (Ford Fusion, Dodge Charger) All current safety rules and regulations are in place. Sheetmetal for the body must come directly from the manufacturer. The powertrain will be a fuel injected 327 cu in DOHC V8 motor limited to 900 hp (525 at restrictor plate races) ; no restrictions on redline. Transmission choices are either a 6 speed Tremec T-56 manual or the current 4 speed manual. Tire size will be 315-40-18 on all 4 corners with tires provided by Michelin. Aerodynamically, the cars will be similar to the current cars, but with an adjustable spoiler angle from 40-75 degrees and an air dam in place of the splitter.
Additional Info: Cars will run 30 races a year on an equal mix of short tracks, superspeedways, and road courses, with the series champion being the driver with the most points after all 30 races. Each race will be between 200-500 miles, or 3.5 hours, which ever comes first. The current regime in charge is banned from ever ruling again or even attending races.
GT500 and GT300 would destroy both their classes with ease.Series: World Super GT - An expansion of Japan's biggest GT racing series, with 2 classes of cars battling it out on race tracks across the world.
Classes:
GT - GT3/GTE/GT500 limited to 600HP
NGT - GT3 Cup/GT4/GT300 limited to 450HP
10 races per year with the Suzuka 1000KM included while all other races are 3 hours long.
Points system: 20-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 both overall and for each class. Double points for Suzuka 1000KM.
Everything else is identical to current SUPER GT rules.
If needed then power could easily be restricted for the SUPER GT cars to match the performance of the rest of the grid. And there would also be the same weight penalties that the current SUPER GT series use as well.GT500 and GT300 would destroy both their classes with ease.
