Renault Clio V6 Trophy | Interest?

I have two Clio Trophies myself, including this one so I'd be pretty game for this.

Well, OK, my other one's not ACTUALLY a Clio Trophy, but it's literally got all the same stats and everything.

If you do Saturday and Sunday are you thinking of making series for both? Because sometimes I can't do Sundays if there's an unusually massive overload of work (but since I'm coming up to my GCSE's that's more likely that you'd think ) but I can do all Saturday every Saturday (unless I stupidly have to go to my Dad's work on race day). They did it in the original Cappuccino series (still the only series I've actually raced in) and it worked good for them, one series Tuesday night (midnight) and one Sunday afternoon (night for me). Maybe you could consider this?

Also

10 Minute Qualifier | 20 Minute Race 1 | 20 Minute Race 2 Reverse Grid

is my choice. Seems most realistic to me in a championship like this.

Track ideas...maybe try Deep Forest, Trial Mountain, Eiger, either Cape Ring North or Periphery, SSR5, Rome perhaps? World circuits seem pretty dry though apart from the suggested ones and perhaps Tsukuba.

My actual Clio is #66 for your info. Lots of people should have different colours to others so the team championship sounds pretty good. But it would kinda make it first come first serve...would it not?

It would be one series with two races. Basically just how they do it for the real series, they basically run the whole weekend. Race 1 is on Saturday, and Race 2 is on Sunday.

I can't really do anything during the week as I don't get home until just after 6:30PM PST, which is kind of late for the east coast, and really late for anyone in Europe.

That's my thought too.

Pretty much. Depends on which cars people actually have. I know this car is in the OCD right now, but it could disappear this week.

I have the Lutecia and like driving it. Might be interested in racing but. . .
I haven't the time to waste tuning or building cars. I prefer leaving them unmodified, and running them on the tires they come with. I've used this car in the French seasonal with comfort soft as well as sports hard and they are a good match either way. Race tires are far more than is needed with these cars IMHO.
So if you are planning to run them as PD intended let me know and if the schedule fits I'll race.

I don't think you're talking about the same car. This car is a race car, with several liveries and only available in the used car dealer. They come stock with Racing Hard tires.

You are right. I have the road car version. I will keep an eye out for the race car.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I do have a few that I can send to people for use in the series. Read the first post about that if you are interested.

 

[Akmuq]

Kind of interested, put me down as a 'maybe'.

Also, I like this qualifying/race format best.
10 Minute Qualifier | 20 Minute Race 1 | 20 Minute Race 2 Reverse Grid 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

That's two votes for the race 2 reverse grid. 👍

 

[BrandonW77]

I'm interested, I've collected a few of these because I thought they would be fun for a series. Sunday works for me and I like the 2 race/1 day/reverse grid format too.

I too have been collecting these in hopes of getting a series going.

Glad to see this one! Sign me up.

 

[Knelly]

Sign me up date and time permitting. Nice work so far

 

[CodeRedR51]

Nice to see we've got some interest in this. I've collected a few cars if people need one.

If you guys are in 100%, I can get a real thread posted tonight and get this rolling. I just don't want it to backfire on me like the CR-Z thing did. Seems all anyone wants to compete in around here anymore is Super GT and LeMans racing.

 

[Adam41]

Definitely up for this. I've had this idea since the French car seasonal back in June or something. That's the 2nd time you've had the same idea as me - which is a good thing. The car's amazing when I was using sport softs but I agree, Racing Hards will produce closer racing.

Put me down. I prefer the first option for the racing with the reverse grid. 👍 Also, I think it was Autumn Ring which I must have raced on well over 20 times in the Seasonal events so that's my suggestion.

EDIT: I think I have 4 or 5 of these in different colours so I can use the colour which is used the least.

Agreed about everyone seems to want Super GT and LeMans. I wanted to start a league with these cars since I first saw them start popping up in my UCD but I ended up running the Capp Cup instead so I don't have time to run another series. I really hope this gets off the ground though because these are great cars for a racing series, they seem to be quite plentiful and are available in a variety of colors. I have a handful now that I've collected in the hopes of a series starting, but I will start snapping up any I see in my UCD so I can have some available to pass along if somebody needs one. Seems like I get a couple of these in my UCD every week.

Awesome Aderrm, good to have you.

I plan on using a blue one, but that's one of the cars I still don't have so I'll have to find one. I do however have a hot pink one if anyone is interested.

I got the Blue. Get you added and car sent over. Def take the hot pink if you don't mind.

Also StigsHero. One of the guys from Cappy had several and was talking the same story. collecting these in hopes to race them.

Maybe should post in the Cappy thread and see who it was.

I don't recall seeing that post in the Cappy thread?

ID_Racing perhaps? I traded him an extra Dark Yellow for a White last week.

Edit: Thanks for sending the Blue. I'm going to go take some sunset photos near a small lake when I get home but after that I'll send you the pink one. I don't really want it.

 

[SPANK]

I'll send you the pink one. I don't really want it.

Hey thanks alot, it took alot of work sending that to you!

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah all of 2 minutes.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I ran into some trouble making the new post tonight, I'll try and get it up tomorrow during the day.

 

[Anna+Reece]

YES YES YES. Sign me up. I would LOVE to do this!

 

[Otune]

I'm definitely up for this. I was in a Clio series before, but it seems to have died now. I'd love to get racing again!

No worries. I cleared space on my friends list last night but had company stop. Try to get you added and send that Blue Beast.
