Pity, I felt it really suited the car - although I know what you mean about the bridge Cheesy
That's the sort of feature that Wreckfest fits as standard to the demolition derby style tracks Grin

If we're going to be using the 250 GTO's next please please please please please please can we use Aviano GP?
I realised I haven't tried the conversion yet earlier today so took the Fez out - Oh my god it's fun here Grin
Remove that chicane from the end of the SF straight and it's as though the circuit was made for the 250 angel

Not a series proposal as such but how about a 'Classic Le Mans' type series of races using different categories/classes over several races like they do at the real classic? ie start with an early 60's race, then 70's then 80's or 90's, would be pretty cool. Smiley

I am going again this year, should be ace  Cool

It's a nice idea, but seeing the lack of time people have to get to grips with 1 car, I'm not sure I want to put them in a situation where they have to learn several tricky cars. Tongue

You could do it in groups. Each group has use a particular era each race. That way everyone only has to worry about 1 car at a time and we can have a decent mixed grid.
Run as a minor season at the same track - most points wins and while everyone has to learn a few cats they only have one track to worry about...

Or same idea but multi class  Smiley

I don’t think multi class would work unless categorised by decade, as the cars from different eras are so vastly different. But does mean you could run a slow and fast class.
60’s could have been f250 or Alfa’s as the slower class with gt40, P908
70’s - RSR’s as slower class with 917’s and Lolas
80’s - Grp C cars, with not sure what as slower class.
90’s - F40s or McLaren F1 gtr

That’s just off top of my head without looking through the car lists but a tasty selection of cars to blast around Le Mans and should suit all skill levels Cool

You guys already have an 250 GTO historic series.  According UKAC traditions, next series need to be modern (  surface mounted, planted, powerful and aero superglue, supereasytodrive  ) series Wink  Cheesy  Tongue
For example, Assetto Corsa Competizione  Wink

Yeah, maybe in 2020. They're showing preview of a pre-alfa at the moment.

Talking about a multiclass, it can make sense only if there are enough drivers, that is 20 or more. We ran a multiclass at CORE starting the season with 16 drivers and at the last one there were only 3 italian drivers running for VDA. It doesn't make sense with the numbers we are getting at SROUK lately.

Agree Manteos, I only offered up those multi combos as an option if people felt the faster cars were too tricky. My original idea was just one car type per race ie 917’s one round , p330 another for instance. It’s a real shame we still haven’t got groups of race cars to fight each other on track other than gt3.

This is why I fancy some Classic Le Mans action  Cool

We haven’t given great cars like the 917, p330, Sauber c9, Mazda 787, Mclaren f1gtr or Moby Dick a proper run yet  Smiley

There are only so many cars we can use.

Sauber and Mazda will be quite similar to the 962 and the Moby will be disliked by most (including you).

The 917 is good but also a bit like the 962 and I already considered the 330.

I didn't like the f1 gtr a few years ago, but have to revisit it to see how it is. Next classic series might be a classic open wheeler as that keeps the rotation going.

I’d be happy with a good open wheeler series, might get me using my Rift again  Smiley

I wasn’t meaning those cars as a series necessarily, just a round using each in a CLM format. But admit it might only satisfy the purists.

We need a recruitment drive again, turnouts have been lousy just recently. Might be weather or World Cup related  Undecided Thoughthd Maserati turned out a lame duck so that hasn’t helped inspire attendees.

Hate to suggest this because of our policies here but there are some great open wheeler mods on the F1 Legends site. I'm having some great fun offline with the rFactor2 60's F2 and F3 cars and the GT Legends pack which contains TC, GT and proto cars. There are a few 60's and 70's F1 mods that are also very good and a few decent historic tracks too.....Spa '66, LM '91 for instance.

I realise some of it is ripped content but most of us have paid for the original games anyway (yeah I know that isn't the full story). Just saying  Undecided

Edit: I meant to say F1 Classic site not F1 Legends

Honoust question, is it okay then? I was considering Macau for a fun race, but it's ripped from Race07.

Recruitment has always been pure luck. I'm doing some fun races, one is probably the Lotus Exos at maybe Canada and I want to try Sanoma Raceway, which is recently added to AC reboot.

A multiclass LMP1 and GT racing would be great Tongue
