what single seaters did you have in mind? Would like to try a couple out. Isn't there a new highly rated GP3 mod car out?

You mean for classic series? Was thinking of Lotus 49, but not sure if that will prove to be a bit similar to the 25, so will need to try some more advanced classics, like the 72D, 98T or the F312. For modern open wheeler it'd be the Lotus Exos T125 (standard) as that seemed manageable and not too complicated or fast. |

Nice choices  what I would suggest is our resident setup experts share a good base setup from the beginning to encourage a bigger field and closer racing. Maybe run a test session/short race before the series starts to get a feel for the car and setup sharing. Aliens can still refine their own setups for their edge in the series. Nice as it is I think the 49 will be too similar to the 25 series. I’d rather something a little more muscular like the last 3 in the list. Can any of them race each other or all only suitable for single make racing? Not tried that Lotus modern single seater yet. |

49 is nothing like the 25. Much faster and harder to drive, slightly less fun as a result I'd say - unless you really nail a setup  The others have wings so are aimed at amateurs  |

Jeff, please explain you position. As i see we usually have 2 series at the same time - classic and modern. Now classic is F 250, modern is MC12. 250 is continues , but MC12 ending. Next series car choice, theoretically, must to be MODERN ( yes, yeasy to drive, more aero, more POPULAR in peoples. But now we discuss about classic again. 2 classic series , will be fiasco, imho. You guys wants to have 3-5 pilots in each series? I am dreaming about something more...  |

These Exos cars had a tyre overheat problems earlier. Needs to be tested good before choice. May be fixed now. |

There will be a few fun races with modern cars, one with the exos, to test how that thing copes and I am thinking of trying that Seat mod, as there aren't rally a lot of good modern cars in AC, so I'm tempted to resort to a mod. Normal modern/classic will continue as before, unless somebody else takes over from me. |

Perhaps something like the VRC Jordan 191 would be a good one too? Fast open wheeler with aero, but still rather analog to drive.. And not as nuts to drive as the 98T. http://www.vrc-modding-team.net/news |

Jordan 191 is awesome fun, especially if run back to back against the F643. Really makes you realise how hard the drivers in the 'poorer' teams had it. 6 speed manual Vs 7 speed flappy ect  Ferrari mod seems to have vanished for some reason though.. |

After the MC12 championship, I'm planning to try 2 cars in a fun race. The Lotus Exos 1 (standard) at Paul Ricard (F1 Chicane)Seat Leon TCR at Atlanta Motorsport ParkThe last one will be 2x20 minutes with full reversed grids. |
