The closest thing we had was a Formula Renault 3.5 Season. The car was great and racing was difficult but enjoyable. The problem is that laptime differences were really big and we starting adding ballast to balance the field. But the differences were so huge that quite a few ended up with 150+Kg od ballast, in a car that probably weights 500Kg in total...

We need a Formula Ford series.  Open wheel, slower, drafting . . .
Not that I know if a decent mod exists.

We could try the lotus 25... much faster, but the rest would be there.

For a more strategic racing another league tried the following with the Lotus 98T by limiting the fuel and forcing drivers to choose between higher turbo boost and fuel economy. Quoted from the official forums.

Quote
As @Mogster said, 100% (or anything above 70%) is for qualifying only.

Furthermore, as @Trezoitao38 said, in race trim and if you do a proper long race, you shouldn't ever use more than 70% because of fuel consume problems. Refuelling was not permitted back then and so you had to keep your turbo pressure low. Many drivers would also coast and shortshift before braking points to lower the fuel consume even more. This whole thing has been nicely recreated in Eurogamer.it new Lotus 98T championship, where top drivers are "forced" to shortshift, use low pressure and coast before braking zones, to save fuel (the league is on full length GP races). You use higher turbo pressure only very very rarely if you need to overtake

A one make series in the Ferrari F2004 would be fantastic.

We will certainly try this kind of thing again, but in the past, we have found that numbers drop off a bit and the racing is quite difficult, with lots of crashes. But I'm keen, in the name of diversity, and I also like a challenge.

Yeah, that guy is extremely fast and not having DRS/KERS makes it a bit easier.
Maybe 3 sprint races work well, so if someone's race is messed up for whatever reason it's less painful...I know, not very realistic, but fun.

If not open wheeler I think we should give that Lotus 3 eleven a go...was pretty good in the poll anyway.

I reckon the slowest cars on the shortest tracks possible, give everyone a chance to brush up on race craft

Nah, please...and where's the fun?
Anyway, fast cars = fast learning  ;)

Seriously, seat time makes you fast...and that's being done by yourself whether on the server or offline doesn't matter...I doubt that little bit of racing on Tuesday nights will be enough.
