Maybe a rental system would be fun to try, but that just shifts the debate to how much each car is worth. If you want to set up a rental system, I won't stop you Bird I'd like to try a season in some class of cars that have nearly the same performance, and let everyone choose a car that they keep for the whole season. Season 6 maybe.

Season 6 maybe.Could be a hypercar series, we will get the mclaren P1 soonish so this will be the 599xx, Laferrari and Zonda R. These cars arent too far apart and could be worth taking a look.Its also possible to have a series in say the 458, mp412c and f40. The f40 can match the pace of the other 2 in a good drivers hands but the other 2 are quite a bit easier to drive so people could get that choice. Maybe the Nissan GTR could also fit in with these once released but maybe its a bit too quick for them but there will be a corvette coming which could fit in. Having an F40 is the other dead horse that Bird keeps beating so maybe we can kill 2 Birds with the one stone.

Sorry Marty, but it sounds like you don't know what the expression means. It assumes the outcome has already been decided. (it's funny that english is _my_ second language, not yours...)It is a working system, we've used it extensively, and it's a lot of fun IMO. Ask those members who were around at the time.Wally: I can install the system fairly quickly, but setting all details in the program depends on what we want to run.... I will put one up to play with. « Last Edit: December 17, 2014, 02:48:47 PM by Bird » Logged marty Hero Member Posts: 3747 Karma: -63 Re: S4R6: Silverstone Race Chat « Reply #18 on: December 17, 2014, 04:05:15 PM » Bird I'm joking about the dead horse, I dont even know what or how that system works other then you being the only one promoting it. surely because the trading scheme involves your transaction fees . Not to be taken too literally, just it seemed like the scheme was falling on deaf ears. I dont care which system is used or how yours differs, if it ends up much the same with people not able to select a car thats too fast but free to chose any slower one Im sure it would be fine and may be better for some. As Wally says it still comes down to how you rate the cars with any system used.English is also my second language by the way having not been born in Australia.

Where are you from, originally? You seem to have pretty darn good english compared to me (altho I came to Australia as a grownup, so ...) and yes, heavy transaction fees will be included !!!Bruce: thanks, I should have a copy around.

Is the GTC the car you hated, Bird? It feels just fine to me.

Is the GTC the car you hated, Bird? It feels just fine to me.Nah, it was the mcLaren, but only until I had time to set it up correctly.The GTC is just a bit finnicky, I can't much catch it with counter-steering, it usually snaps back violently (for me). But it's pretty good otherwise. Oh and of course the wandering under braking is really unnerving early on. « Last Edit: December 19, 2014, 09:20:42 AM by Bird » Logged Guybrush Threepwood Hero Member Posts: 2133 Karma: 69 Re: S4R6: Silverstone Race Chat « Reply #27 on: December 19, 2014, 03:51:53 PM » Quote from: Wally on December 19, 2014, 08:01:28 AMDid a 2:04.1 on hards, medium fuel in the GTC last night.

It could be a battle for the championship down in 10th place. Dunno about the other cars but that first corner is knife edge stuff in the GX as well.
