50k Rokko, how hard can it be? Hahahahahaha!

give it a shot mako then get back to me, smart alex. Trying to get right on 50K is not easy.

As I understand it, 50k is the max. I don't think you need to be exact.

And the "sunrise" tracks are not available in multi-player.

yeah but you know me, i don't like to leave anything on the table, and I enjoy building and tuning cars to a spec almost as much as driving them.

The different times of day are available online (its under the environment/layout selection) but for certain tracks only (iirc it's Suzuka, Hock, Indy, Infineon, Camino, and a few others)

I shall be rockin either a RX7 or Mustang of some sort. Bring on the F bodies for destruction, haha. Will we be restricted to one vehicle and will we get increases after each race for upgrade?

One vehicle restriction.

There will be no increase in parts because that would defeat the purpose of a laid back race. The fast guys are already going to be winning, so I don't want to make them even faster and just blow the doors off everyone.

This is another thing I forgot to mention. You can change builds between races, but let's try to keep them realistic. What this means, is one race your not going to run AWD, and then the next race run RWD. That's just not realist for a budget build. How ever one week you can run a race exhaust, but the next week instead of that run a sport exhaust but maybe put a sport camshaft it. That type of thing is fine.

I'm trying to make this into a realistic series, but a fun one as well.

sounds good. so if you start with a drivetrain of awd or rwd or fwd, you will be locked into that, correct. I'm running RWD regardless, just want clarification.

I shall squash you like a bug!

Yes, same with engines. I don't want to restrict it to much but I would love for people to stick with the same build from day 1, but I'm not going to enforce it.

You could restrict changes to engine upgrades only. It's not unrealistic to go back and "tweak" your engine build for the next race. As long as they remain within the 50K cap, that is.

Can roll cages be free?

nope

I was asking Mark, cause safety is usually the number one priority of these kinda things IRL.


Anyways I've decided what I'm driving:

Saab 99 Turbo.

Should I send my build to you Mark?

If we happen to install a race motor what would we charge for restrictors?

Isn't the first restrictor like 5,000 or something?

Gonna change my car to the 242 Turbo

You don't have to send me your builds.

It appears I need to do some more work since I'm missing parts.

Roll cages are not free.

Okay, just suggested that since LeMons lets people put safety stuff in for free, but it's no big deal to me anyway haha.

Also it appears I have turbo fever, but I've finally decided on the Starion as my car.

After some thought. Race motors are banned. This just takes away from the whole idea of the series because most people are not going to be able to afford let alone buy an actual Nascar motor and throw it in their car.

Once again this is suppose to be a laid back series, not a bring the fastest car I can build. If the car you build is the fastest, but that's one thing. But please don't sit there trying to test out several cars to find out which is the fastest.



Anyway no one has told me a time yet other then the weekend. So Friday or Saturday night?

Is this a one night affair or multiple races? Right now the schedule is pretty open, so either night would work, though most people seem to be around more on Sat night. I'm off the next two Fridays for sure so either is fine with me.

Ok no BMW then. I'll be rocking the Alfa touring car known as 155Q4. Will list build tonight.

multiple races as far as I know.

I'm in the 87 firebird, the first and only car i've tried. A-575 is the PI for mine.

Could a two race per night work? Like two half hour races or something? For example Suzuka West or whatever the hell and Laguna in one night?

And my Starion is something like B440 or something. 45k in upgrades is awesome though.

Llama I have an A class Starion that meets the criteria if tou want the build.

I'm happy with my build, handles nice. I could've probably dumped more power into it but I'll take driveability over speed any day. Thanks though

Yeah I am looking for a multiple race event. I like the idea of doing 2 short races instead of 1 long race. Have a quick 5 minute intermission between races.

I'll do a quick look through on some tracks. Will probably do mostly smaller tracks.
