Tuning prohibited hopefully?

 

Correct.

 

When you mentioned this the other day I didn't realize you were planning the change of day and time. Thursday nights definitely stand a better chance during the summer. Will try and make it.

 

That's great! It will be good to have you race with us.

 

This is very cool. Love open wheel racing.

 

There is a spot with your name on it.

 

I ran an open wheel series in GT5 for a short time.

I don't have a lot of free time but will help out where you need.

 

Appreciate it Joe!

 

I'm in!

Tuning prohibited is for me

 

Sporting a new Sig! I'm excited

I'm off to watch a movie with my boys.

 

when you say 9 o'clock p.m. is that Eastern Standard Time?

 

Yes, all times listed will be Eastern Standard Time.

 

I'm available for testing tomorrow. Maybe we can run a test session Thursday and see how it works out. Make some changes if needed for the first season.

Perhaps run a short race in each car on same track?

 

A mock race Thursday sounds good to me, I unfortunately can't get online today.

 

What will the race format be?
How long? How many? What time will we be done?

 

The series is under construction at the moment we will let everyone know once we have things sorted out.

 

We are running some practice laps tonight to get a feel for these open wheel formula cars. Should be on about 9:30 to 11.

 

Will join you guys.

 

Thanks for coming out everyone! That was a good night of racing.

 

I am all about this. Sign me up!!!

Edit: Do you also plan on using the Renault Formula 3.5? I really like everything from that level down. FA and FB are crazy fast. How's the IndyCar?

 

Nice! No we wont be doing any of the DLC cars for this series as there are a lot of open wheel cars already to get through a season with. But we will be doing some special events which could include them and also some vintage open wheelers.

 

The vintage cars have such less grip, they're much harder to race in a pack. I like the Rookie, Gulf, and Formula C cars

 

Honestly though, who doesn't have the DLC now? They're so cheap, and if you have to buy two just for the Renault and Lotus cars you're still spending under 10 bucks. Just get 'em lol

The Formula Ford Lotus is a blast, but when you upshift it goes so low in the revs. So annoying to lose that "go" feeling.

 

It's a plan for the future but as of now the only cars we will be using are the ones listed in the banner.

 

Fair enough
