I heard Mark Webber say on Australian Story that an F1 car is uncomfortable and claustrophobic.

I just read this description from a motoring journalist of the first generation MX5 roadster, known as the NA (released in 1989). ”Getting after a mountain road in that tiny roadster was nothing but mechanical joy. You could let the car drift fearlessly, pitch the tail around to get the noise pointed right and cane it. It was easy. It was fun. The steering was perfect, like a high price go-kart.”
The mod doesn't really convey that feeling. It just feels sluggish. Maybe the old tyres make it feel more like this.

I put up a practice server, will change up the weather to meet the forecast later then.
I still have to work out fuel multiplier for race 2 with one pitstop. I will try to enable a bigger pit window, but still make one stop a necessity.

In my league stats, I actually have a ranking for all players. Stats? What stats? You say. I would split up teams of 3, say, with a top ranked driver, a middle ranked driver, and a lower ranked driver, to avoid too imbalanced teams.
I like, I like!
It would be really cool if we could do like a "relay run", where one driver does 3 or so laps, comes into the pits and then the next driver does 3, and then the next. I'm not sure if there is a way though?
Only problem is people get bored waiting. I do like top 10 shootouts though. The pressure is exciting. But again... people have to wait.

One problem, none of those cars are open wheelers. 
Well, here's the place to squeak your wheel and put ideas out there.

That's the GX.

From memory arnt both cars very similar? would it be easier for everyone to be in the 1 car for ballast?
They have similar lap times, but the GX turns in sharper and doesn't have TC or ABS. The GTC is easier to drive. They're different enough to make it interesting.

This is a place to share ideas for future seasons. - Nissan GTR Nismo, single make with ballast.
- Toyota 86, single make with ballast.
- I'd also like to do a GT3 season. Pick a car and stay with it. Longer races with pitstops, with the rule that you have to do at least x number of race laps on soft tyres. I could change my results app to add a 10 second post-race time penalty if you fail to comply.

I hope they do a good job, because AC needs more open wheelers of this style. I'd love a Formula Ford too.

I won race 1 and so did my wife.
I had good fun, but screwed up a few times... both times running into Grubbet, I think - sorry. It was annoying to crash after taking so long to catch up to someone.
It seemed the car was a lot faster than some earlier races, getting to 150, 160.

Can everyone who's signed up please nominate whether they want to start in the GX or the GTC.

I had a look at using ballast, but the same weight affected both cars' lap times differently in my testing, because they have different weights and different power to weight ratios. Ballast will be best suited to single-make races by the looks of it. Or I could use a success ballast, like in the BTCC. Having previously handicapped the top five drivers, ballast will now be distributed across the top ten in the championship entering a weekend and then based on race results for the rest of the event.
The handicap is now awarded as follows: 75kgs – 66kgs – 57kgs – 48kgs – 39kgs – 33kgs – 27kgs – 21kgs – 15kgs – 9kgs. That would probably work well enough. In that case, I wouldn't have a reverse grid. To put the weights into perspective, I found that 100kg slowed the GTC down by 1.8 seconds, and the GX by 0.5 seconds. So 75 kg would be quite reasonable.
