Thursdays Next season Ideas
« on: February 17, 2017, 01:31:26 PM »
My idea is for Robs Caterham Revisit with a handicap car of some nature, that can be any speed slower, I don't mind if its like a 5 second a lap penalty, will mix the season up ;)  that the top 3 or 5 will have to drive

I see somebody has done a 620R mod of the academy version. Would be good to try and see the difference between the two.

Didn't the Caterham lose tyres sounds with an AC update?
Or has it been updated since? ???

Given Phil's penchant for changing rules every week perhaps we could do a short season called "PHIL'S MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR". A different, surprise combo each week. From a shortlist of cars of a 'certain vintage'.

We did that recently on some Tuesday fun runs - just a mystery combo on the night - and people enjoyed it. You'd have to avoid mod tracks & cars though, so people have what's required at short notice.

I have a selection of 5 cars for a season, with built in handicapping, but I do not want to but in, if someone else has a season in mind.

After the "Magical Mystery Tour" that is.

This season has been a mystery ride, i would love to hear your plan.

I like the idea of the mystery tour also for a season and some fun runs

Mis-type I think, I'm sure you meant "None"

I also was hoping it was a mis-type.

Proposed selection of cars for a Thursday season based on hp per kg

Alfa 155 V6         2.50 kg/hp

Lotus 2 eleven         2.65 kg/hp

Merc 190 Evo II      2.64 kg/hp

BMW M3 E30 DTM      2.70 kg/hp

Phil , this is the selection of cars.

Merc 190 Evo II      2.64 kg/hp

Mazda RX7 Tuned      2.96 kg/hp

BMW M3 E30 DTM      2.70 kg/hp

The performance of these cars can also be altered with selection of tyres by limiting some to Street tyres only, Server defined.

The concept of this selection is for the faster drivers to select the slower cars to allow close racing for all with no ballast.  Some form of retribution will be applied to drivers who ignore the spirit of the racing in order to win.  I am sure Phil with help from others will be able to devise a suitable disincentive.

I would like to throw open the selection of tracks (with a maximum lap time of  2min 30s) to all drivers. Good MOD tracks welcome, Mills Park comes to mind.  I think 8 weeks would be good, with a break in the middle.  There are plenty of 1988 tracks available from NoGrip.

All comments welcome.

I like
