"But Oh, Those SUMMERRRR NIIIIGHTSSS"
(A car series that runs on Grease)
"Tell me more, tell me more. Like do we have a car?"
Well-a well-a well I will then
On Mondays @ 8pm (UK) for a few weeks over the summer period I'm going to be running a short series that won't be anything too serious so it doesn't matter if summer holidays get in the way. Hopefully it will be fun though.
And it's going to involve all the Group B cars in PC2. Might as well get to use some of the cars from the fun pack now everyone has it.
So that's the Ford RS200
The Renault 5 Maxi Turbo
And the Audi S1 Quattro
They each have their quirks due to their various drivetrains and may suit some tracks more than others.
(It's probably best to select the circuit/tarmac default settings for all)
The Ford is probably the fastest overall.
The Renault is not too much slower but is slightly harder to control.
The Audi is the slowest* but is probably easiest to control.
*That's mainly down to its longer gears, so on some tracks it holds its own.

One thing to note. They all start the races on cold tires.
So be wary of this during the early laps.
There will be an initial 5 minute practice period before race 1 to allow for late comers to join and those with internet problems the chance to rejoin.
Then each week there will be five races. 4 of 10 minutes duration with the middle race of the evening (race 3) being 15 minutes
All will have random grids (no qualification).
(Here's the slight handicap system I've mentioned previously)
For each race you can choose any of the cars.
But if you finish on the podium (1st, 2nd or 3rd) you can not use that same car again during the meeting.
The exception to this is if you finish on the podium in each of the cars it is reset and you can choose from all again.
And those summer nights?
Every race will be set in fine summer weather, but at differing times during the night.
Don't worry though, just look at all those lights fitted to the beasts. They really work a treat.
(Damage will be off so that you don't loose the benefit of those headlights!)
Some of the track and time choices won't be that dark anyway.
Since we'll be swapping and changing don't worry about colour choices and numbers.
For variety just try to pick a different livery to everyone else in each race - although you'll find that's tricky in the Audi.
As usual a "thumbs up" ready to race will let me know when everyone is happy to start.
