Will there be a break over Christmas / new years before season 5?

Yes. Just some fun runs for those that are around for a few weeks.

Might be a good chance to try some mods?

I'm open to suggestions.

Are we going to have single car series again Wally?
I ask because it takes me about 4 weeks to get a feel for a car and be really consistent.
Back in the Formula Abarth I could run top 5 and even got a win, now I can't manage top 15 in much faster cars. :(

+1 to that except for the running in top 5 bit :))

That first post is pretty much the season schedule. Versatility and adaptability will be key ;)

I know this series won't be.
I should have said:
Are we going to have single car series ever again Wally?

We seem stuck in this 'new car every week or two' mode. :(
Just wanted it to be known, not everyone is having fun with this.

Yeah, fair enough. You know I'm one for mixing it up. What is like to return to is a kind of "choose one car and stick with for the season" type of thing, if we can find an even choice of car, even if it's just a car out two.

I'd be all for that. 8)
I'm not that worried about being back of field, I just miss getting to know the car.
We sort of know the quick guys and the not-so quick guys, so we could still have some semi-handicapping for closer racing.
And if we can get the 'set grid' working it could mix it up more.

I kind of thought that idea (stick to the car) would work great with the current series cars, 2 classes, GT3 & GT2.
It wouldn't work so well with the open wheelers though, too big a difference between the cars.

There's some good parity in the GT2/GT3 classes, but people will probably want to move on to something else.

Not sure if this is the right place to bring this up but seeing as we are airing our thoughts...

Is it worth taking another look at the way the points system works?   At the moment there seems to be too great a disadvantage if you aren't finishing at the top all the time.   I know the aim is to be consistent but sometimes things occur outside your control such as a disconnect,  and I think quite a few of us haven't been able to attend every round.
