What a fun car! Not necessarily for the faint of heart, but it should put a smile on your face.

Dodge-Viper-SRT-GT-R-Gr-3-20200126231525.jpg


Tracks and Laps:
Tokyo Exp Central Outer Loop (12)
Bathurst (7)
Interlagos (10)

Practice the tracks w/walls.
 
From now on, if I have the planning time, I will try to make MNR races a bit more interesting and challenging by calculating tire wear and fuel usage into them.

I want to see if cars can be ranged, to make it quicker, in general, to calculate. MNR races have always had tire wear and fuel, but it was usually just a default 2X. It rarely affected results over the usual 15-20 minute races. Now it may.

February 3 @ 7:30 Eastern

Car: Mazda Demio XD, Comfort Hard tires, 103 HP, 2381 lbs, Tires=30x Fuel=16x

Tracks and Laps:
Northern Isle Speedway (40)
Kyoto Driving Park Miyabi (16)
Tsukuba (11)

Pitstops may be needed. The car, known as the Mazda 2 in North America, handles really well on these tires.

Feb 10 @ 7:30 Eastern

Car: Red Bull X2014 Junior Sport Hard tires, 246 HP, 1213 lbs

20200214235512.jpg


Tracks, (Laps), Wear:

Red Bull Ring (9) 40x tires 14x fuel
Fuji with chicane (8) 40x tires 14x fuel
Spa (6) 40x tires 14x fuel
Suzuka (9) 35x tires 18x fuel

Pitting will probably only be necessary at Suzuka. Adjust downforce as needed. It will be a bit slippery without it.
 
Since few MNR drivers had the chance to race the well loved X2014 Junior, last night, would you like a second chance to run it?

February 17 @ 7:30 Eastern

Car: Honda NSX 2017 Sport Soft tires, 570 HP, 3924 lbs

20200214234647.jpg

Tokyo Exp South Outer Loop (10), 6x tires, 2x fuel
Dragon Trail Seaside* (8), 5x tires, 3x fuel

* fuel warning

The KERS is broken, and the front differential is missing, otherwise, it is a nice handling car to drive all Monday night.

Tracks (Laps)
Blue Moon Infield A2 (11)

Watch your fuel on each track. Watch Laguna Seca's runoff pads. You may need them after your tires wear down. You may also have to adjust your differential's braking sensitivity.

March 9 @ 7:30 Eastern

Car: Alpine VGT Race Mode Gr.X Racing Hard tires, 443 HP, 1984 lbs

Alpine-VGT-Race-Mode-20200307173122.jpg


Tracks, (Laps), Wear:

Goodwood T=17x F=4x (12)
Tokyo Expressway South Inner Loop T=20x F=4 (8)

You won't want to miss this very fun car! The tires give lots of grip, but the light car can be easily overcome by the torque, to actually give you power-understeer. Watch your fuel on each track.

RE-Amemiya-RX-7-20200328124033.jpg


Tracks, (Laps): Nordschleife (8); if there is enough interest shown, there will be one shorter mystery race.

We haven't raced at Nurburgring since mid-October. Because of the recent spike in on-line playing, there is only one main race, this week. However, given enough interest and demand, a shorter, mystery encore race is planned and ready to challenge you. The car will definitely benefit from a tune away from stock. Pitting, by design, is built-in.
