because it has got more CV than the other cars

Its only advantage is 20kg lighter than the non Chrome Jag, which is nothing considering the Chaparral/GT40 are faster anyway.
 
Chaparral more faster than the 330 p4 or the Mark IV? really? Are you sure?
 
Are the cars allowed to be tuned further ( turbo ) ?
 
please no. I want to participate with the original horsepower

I like the sound of this

Lol, most likely an unintended pun.
That race IS going to sound good. :)
 
I would allow different tyre compounds as well so pitstops come in to effect. Go with racing Mediums but pit more, or go with racing hards and be slower in the corners.
 
Galahad, ive added you to my psn
 
NFSCARBON, the classics cars had a tires with small grip. small grip = more realism
 
Yes I know that, but I still think they had different compounds, even back then. Just don't use Racing Softs (they have too much grip).
My Classics use Racing Hards anyway.
 
I'm not convinced ... Ok we use two types of tire, but...What tires do we use? ¿Racing Mediums?
 
Guys, at the moment we are only three drivers. Please, join some more drivers. So that we are eight, nine, or ten there will be no race.if you know anyone likes classic cars,tell to him, please. Thanks
 
Hm, I would like to join, but right now I have almost 0 time to play games.

But can I suggest something? Make a manufacturer championship, Ford vs Ferrari vs Jaguar vs Chappral or something like that. It would be alot closer to racing in the past if we have a Ford driver batteling out the championship against a Ferrari driver :)
Also, I used to make alot of online races with my Mark IV. If you want to balance the field, I would suggest to limit the amount of PP, so that everyone has to add ballast or decrease power.
 
OK, I was thinking something similar. Thank you for giving ideas.

Note: I´m an Alonso´s fan too
 
atart a thread in the correct forum, online racing :-)
 
Ok Mikkem in the next online races i put the thread in the correct forum. Please sorry Im a rookie here =P
 
next Friday we must be 8 drivers. If we aren´t 8 drivers I will suspend the race
 
Here's how you should set up:
pre-1970
600hp or lower
800kg or higher
Any Sports Tyres
Race cars only- Must be reconized as a race car in the name (eg. GT40 Race car '69)
La Sarthe 2009 w/ weather + Time change
60/70 laps - decided by OP
All aids off except ABS
Start time at 18:00 in game time (IRL the start time is 3:00PM)
Time value- 10 (this is how fast compared to real time that time goes by in the game)
Grid start with False check
Penalty of any sort (severity to be decided by OP)
 
This sounds great, the longer the better. Friend request sent. What if you moved this to online racing section, maybe we could get a fuller grid?
 
Did they have "Slicks" in the 60s?
*Slicks meaning no-tread tyres



Yes.

Little factoid for ya.

The first production "slick tyre" was developed by a company called M&H Tires in the early 1950s.
 
60-70 laps?

How long will the race be then?
 
I want to drive the Jag but its much slower. Maybe a PP cap would help us keep race competitive. Like 600? Any thoughts, anyone test the cars out yet?
 
I like the sound of this, and i've not even raced online before.

If some cars are slower, what's the problem? Some were/are slower in real life too, but get a few jags and you have yourself a race. Also people will be of different abilities (which is why i will need the FASTEST car!)

Also I think some of the additional suggestions such as time speed or whatever you call it are cool, but will people stop trying to change other stuff the OP already set out? If you want different tyres or different tuning rules or whatnot, arrange your own event. OP is going for authenticity, additional tunings to make the cars more equal is not authentic. And racing hard tyres seem perfect :)
 
Pending response still galahad my id is ej2d15

I might not be able to do later than say 2pm gmt start though this Sunday. Can do anytime the following week though.

Add a list of names to keep track of who's wanting to race perhaps? And msg a mod/admin to move this to correct section for more sign-ups?? There seems to be enough interest in here so far..
 
Galahad is this race still on? I hope so, dont let this great idea die.
 
Drivers (At the moment):

-Fellix79
-GTP_mike46an2
-Loskey1
-ej2d15
-The_Reformed
-GTP_Galahad23


Do you want to I put a limit of PR?

Write your opinion
 
I can do next Sunday or the following one, not today unless it's a quick race.

I would be happy to just limit the tyres to racing hard and after racing decide on pp / power restrictions.

How about 17:00 GMT start next week?
