Why is it called the world series if it's just using US muscle cars? shouldn't it be classic American GT/Touring car series?

Umm, well, my (possibly wonky) thinking is...... the Americans have "World Series" for sports, but only American teams seem to play so here we have an American style "world series" for cars. But we will be visiting other parts of the world. It's a V8 muscle car series, so North America and Australia, with other places stuck in perhaps.

Quiet around here again! It seems to be the norm these days that there is very little discussion about the races. At GC & NG too there are virtually no comments about the events either before or after, guess people just can't be bothered. Although I must admit to being guilty at times!

Glen Watkins is a nice track IMO. The Vette seems to be a winner here ................. if you can handle it I'm sure the rocket-pack will be 3-4 secs faster per lap than me here, but the good thing about a track this long is, that the chance of being lapped is smaller Stig

As long as people turn up There seems to be a resurgence of GTL this year, which is a good thing. Tony has put a lot of work in so deserves some results. My series this year are fairly simple, the cars for some are mostly the same each event, so less need to chat about which car, less complaints from the back benches hopefully I used to get a lot of comments about having to learn new tracks, and different cars, so this year half the series will be very easy to do as the cars will remain mostly the same. Though I will still be introducing a new track now and then.

I kind of like that Matt. As i cant find enough time to try every available car for P&G and GTL i like the fact i am returning to some tracks we visited before, so at least i know which way we're going. And with this set of cars i can sample another car fairly easy, next to the one i already raced last event. So it enables me to see how they compare more easily and spent that time on car set-up.
As it looks now i will be trading in the Mustang for a Vette this time. It does great around here. Not sure about tire wear though....
