I don't really think we have much of a problem except for a couple of aliens. They could just drive slower if they get bored ;) no matter what the handicap system I am still going to be racing alongside Rob or Flattop :))

I don't mind giving the car rental system a try, but in all honesty, it's not all that different to the handicap system. The end result is that the better you do, the slower car you drive. It's a slightly more complicated way to get to the same result.

There's something in what you say;  where I see the power of it is
- racer's ability to strategise
- result based (it's more of a difference, only - but it means if you get a total crap result, at least you've some money to rebound)
- a lot more ability to refine things (car prices & earnings & points, working all together)


And that first one is the most important, IMO.
If you know that 2 races from here on you'll face a slow track, you can burn your money, as on the tight, slower track the slower car can be just as good.  Then you can buy the ferrari for the track with long straights.

Each to his own, I really loved that system (and not just because I've created it, hehe)
But I'm happy to just race, nowadays :)

Yeah, there is that car choice strategy element that people might enjoy.
 
Yes Gratulin, the whole goal is just to give people close racing. If there's enough people on track, you're likely to get that anyway.

Maybe the 'Aliens' can use the Pagani Huayra, that think looks like a spaceship anyway  ;)

Why don't you just use ballast?

Do you think Paul Riccard is of the quality that would warrant it being used in the regular Tuesday night season track rotation?

It seems to have been improved a lot more and at least graphically is on par with what I'd expect from Kunos.  I like the idea of the layout with the huge back straight as well - could make for some good racing.

I'm already thinking of using it for the season 7 practice run in a few weeks, to let the hypercars stretch their legs. That long straight is a bit mental.

Hello!! Is it possible to use only AC tracks?  They are too good.
