    Bast, what class/track do you want to race? Keep in mind the GT500KR I use has a terrible top speed.

    It's not gearing. The thing's got the aerodynamics of a brick wall.

    Just putting this out there, but having a DeLorean upgraded to C 425 is goddamn funny when you blow past Chargers and Mustangs.

    Well, then I'll probably take A class on New York. I don't want to, my Murc feels really good on NGP, but I know my Mustang won't keep up on NY.

    I might not be around for the races tonight. Depends on when I get back from celebratory dinner for having my contract extended until march 2012.

    I think I can justify buying the Fanatec wheel and clubsport pedals now though!

    I'm hoping to be finally online tonight. Back from a bit of burnout, I hope to get right back in the swing of things.

    Also, as an aside, any reason not to pick up the latest car pack?

    lol so I go to fanatec's site to throw the turbo S into my cart and then stare at it until I go "fuck it, I'm doin' it!"

    they no longer sell the turbo S. FML.

    Wait, The Road is a race track? All this time I thought you guys were talking about the movie so I just skipped it...

    Maybe I should throw down the 400 microsoft points to get the car pack... 400 points is $5 right?

    Nice... just as I settle in to actually get things prepped, the download fails on both the Car Pack sample and the Community Car Pack that I actually bought, both failing right at the 98% 99% mark supposedly. Puts a damper on the whole thing, I think.

    Also, Bast, you said 1990 and newer for the S class in the new series, right?

    I did



    I want to get everyone's opinion. My idea for the next series was to have the exact same rules as the current series except one group is D class with the only restriction being it has to be 1989 or older and the other group 1990 or newer S class

    Sounds good to me, I think. I am really liking the lapping element that the multiclass adds, as well as the wider variety of cars that you see on the road as a result.

    I think B class might be a better fit, D class might be too slow against the S class cars.

    What? No. The 18" inch wheels tucked under the lowered AMX. It doesn't look right. It's not how muscle cars should look.

    Ha ha, I love how the green team keeps growing. XD They now double all other teams!

    And I would echo Keml0's concerns about S-class. There's a major element of the AI at S wrecking the D-class cars once people in S finish. The difference in class basically assures that they're going to be 3-5 laps behind too.

    I think size should get points for showing up to the second race last night, even if he couldn't run it :P

    Also, Scatman I'm disappoint. I'm sure if you weren't handbraking every single turn and wiping out every other turn on GP circuit we'd still be in the lead :P

    They're 16" wheels and the ride height is proper for Mark Donohue's Trans-Am AMX. You've also gotta realize you're looking at the offhand side while I'm going down the corkscrew, so it's leaning heavily towards the camera. BTW, the basis for the car:

    Sorry for having an average finish of FIRST and FIRST AND A HALF.

    How about instead of S vs. D we do E vs B?

    D vs. B would line up with how we have the PI difference and it would be alright.

    I like E vs. B better, wider range of cars, but since it is still rather low tier, the differences in lap times won't be that huge, allowing for the lapping to occur mid to late race.

    Nah fuck it I want to do S as well, and we're still all burned out on B from the SBC.

    S and D is my vote, same as the original plan.

    I take it we're banning leaderboard shit, right? I'll be in the '08 ACR Viper otherwise, but only because fuck yeah ammurkah.
