Pretty poor evidence presented in that video...the top drivers in ARL and there was still a 4 minute difference between in finish times for just those top four!!. Lol...this is gonna be an interesting weekend... What could go wrong!! I'm in!!

"Top drivers" lmao. PApunk was basically bronze with a silver streak.

Top ARL drivers?! That was season 6. I was below average silver at best.

Exactly! You used to be my speed, and are now a top rated driver... and finished 4 minutes back! I dont want to run a race where being outside of the podium means I was late to my own funeral!! Half of silver is gonna be a crumpled, steaming pile of steel on the side of the road, lol.

I know it sounds like I'm upset, I'm really not. I'm just pointing out that this seems like a race for the elites and/or specialists. If that's what we want the wild card race to be, sure then. But if we are looking for a race we can all have fun with that promotes close racing...this ain't it! I'm just worried about low attendance and how this will affect people's season and their willpower to go forward. I truly hope to be proven wrong!!

Edit: Having Formula cars as an option, but not having ovals or the Ring as an option just feels weirdly....arbitrary. if we're gonna get weird, let's go all out!! LMPs at Suzuka, GT-Rs on the Green Hell, trucks at Northern Isle!!

Actually it's more like gaining Pain Train valuable points. I don't really care about you others. Lmao

I was 2 minutes back from badguy after an hour of racing. I think we would all take that kind of finish. The car isn't the death trap everyone makes it out to be. Its a challenge to learn but an absolute blast once you do.

Also, this is what F1500T-A on ovals looks like:

I think you guys need a change of motto!

W.A.R. Is Coming........But Not in a F1500 Because We Can't Drive Those!!


A touch long but fitting! :cheers::cheers:

I like Formulas, or any high-downforce car. I'm usually much better in those than GR3s which are probably my worst class (but I think are the most adaptable to strategies, etc.). Again, I'm fine, just not looking forward to it. Fridays are my highdownforce racing!! I'm more worried about the crowd and the casuals...

I really like the GT...a really smooth drive. If not for the fuel issues, it would be OP. It's the Bug if it could get just a few more liters of fuel in the tank.

Haha that's what I was getting at. You have to drive it like the Dr. Of Bacon in order to get fuel mileage out of it. He has that car figured out.


But hey, if you every fancy a challenge. The 458 might be available next season. The FA1500a is weak compared to the 458 lol

Ummm is this the ballast for the season thus far or just the last race?
 
Wildcard Settings:

F1500T-A 100% power 100% weight (no ballast for WC races)
RS Tires (no tire rule in effect for WC races)
Barcelona - Catalunya 10:30 Clear
39 laps
3x tires 1x fuel

This is a season points race.
Lobbies will be split by division. Golds vs golds. Silvers vs silvers.

Get practicing and let's see some of those liveries.
 
PApunk924
Those are the podium finishers from race 3. Those are their new ballast settings after the race.

Example: FREEREVN started the race with +3 ballast. He won the race so he accrued another +3 ballast bringing his total to +6 for the next race.

Ok just wanted to make sure they weren’t the Only drivers that should have ballast.

(because that’d mean ive been running +1 out of the goodness of my heart then)
