Question: is suspension and diff tuning allowed?

Yup, setup I used is in the tuning section

 

[DelboyD]

Me in a Mazda at Autopolis short, what could go wrong? (I was actually in a McLaren, but no matter!)

Count me in!

DelboyD, DelboyD, 5

 

[DelboyD]

Is it full LSD or two way? Instructions and picture doesn’t match.

 

[Adam Barber]

Is it full LSD or two way? Instructions and picture doesn’t match.

Full LSD, I'll update it

 

[challenger001]

Could I go down as a reserve?

[benjoi84]

I'm sorry, I can't find any information about what it entails to register as a reserve.

 

[The359]

I'm sorry, I can't find any information about what it entails to register as a reserve.

Sign up and say you want to be a reserve

 

[Kermit_2142]

It’s a fair point to ask. We’re just so used to just asking for a reserve space now it’s just an assumed thing.

@benjoi84 no doubt Barber will confirm but it’s not like an official reserve list you may have seen in other events. It’s more like a “I may be available, but I’m not sure just yet” list. There isn’t usually a priority order to the reserve list unless otherwise stated, so if you find out you can make the race you should confirm if you want to guarantee a spot.

 

[benjoi84]

“I may be available, but I’m not sure just yet”

This is basically my situation

 

[Timm Sheehan]

Acceptable?

 

[RacingGrandpa]

I might be in this one..

 

[Chevy Heavy]

I see no mention of widebody so I'm assuming it's not, correct?

 

[Adam Barber]

I see no mention of widebody so I'm assuming it's not, correct?

Yeah, no widebody since it's not been mentioned

 

[RacingGrandpa]

I kind of miss the little spoiler on the rear that the cup cars have. Looks lacking when making liveries

Edit: ha, I have been fooled. Seen so many liveries with a little lip on the rear, but it must have been renderengs or from an earlier iteration because the Cup car now has none.

 

[Chevy Heavy]

Where're you from? you sexy thing, sexy thing you

 

[O604]

I went retro.

 

[RacingGrandpa]

I went in all kinds of directions...
Still haven't decided. Might make a few more...

 

[The359]

[RacingGrandpa]

I think I am going with this one.
A team usually in a bigger more powerful car is visiting...
