The deadline is Saturday night. Then there's a practice week before the season starts, so plenty of time.

It looks like a 2 horse race, the lotus project has been abandoned by most. You are able to vote for more then 1 choice however so no need to abandon your lotus vote just yet. Let the jockey keep beating it all the way to the glue factory.  ;D

You never know some dirt may be leaked on the other candidates and people will flock back to the lotus to either help it out or make sure its properly killed at least.

I'm still praying for a late charge (and addition to the list) of the C9. ;)

The seesawing poll has closed, and ended up in a tie*. I've cast the deciding vote and gone for the Maserati (I had voted for both the tied options originally).






* I suspect someone was taking the piss, changing their votes all the time to swing the poll and tie it :)

Actually, I changed my vote a couple of times at the end there.  Originally I was for the Maserati after racing it on a server which was ok and the car was a bit different,  then I hotlapped it on the practice server and though it was a bit boring so went back to GT2, but then I came to the conclusion that it would probably promote closer racing and I prefer single make series so I changed back again last night :)

Yeah, both options have pros and cons.


  • Diversity of cars (with strengths and weaknesses at different tracks) vs single make (everyone in the same boat)
  • More setup options vs less setup options
  • Tyre compound choice for pit stop strategies vs single compound
  • Having to choose a car vs no choice

Wasnt gt2 leading the poll? I will be surprised if we get 20 after a few rounds in the maserati with 29 signed up but its supposedly what the majority wanted so we will see.

Poll was tied as of this morning. The Maserati's fun to drive, moving around more and being more lively than the GT2s, in my opinion.

I've been running the Maserati a bit yesterday and today. It's actually pretty fun. I voted for it mainly due to Marty's ranting.  ;D
