No one here, I hope, will ever moan at you for trying stuff Tudor so good on ya for last night. I'd like to try a few other things as well but ain't keen on dl'ing stuff all the time. Would it be an idea to try vanilla stuff and mods (even Evo(?)) every other week, Cats the other, for upcoming series? If we find ones that we all fall in love with then great, use them. I'd vote to try a WTCC race next time out. p.s. healthy turnout last night |

I'd vote to try a WTCC race next time out.
+1 Lots of cars to chose from, FWD and RWD duel, allowing close races, and give me a break... it's a success for years out there in several communitys. Why people still focused in a one make car races? Why don't we swap each week from one cup to another? |

I agree with the concensus that these a dull to drive and also, unfortunately, dull to race. But, hey, you don't that until you try it. It was certainly not a patch on the frenetic caterham race we had last week, where I needed a lie down afterwards. I'm up for trying the stock WTCC cars for a test race - no downloads required there. |

The one week I get 2nd twice and he doesn't do the results!  Oh, and didn't try any of the mods before voting, just voted what looked best. And although I aggree that the Cats produced some good racing, I was on the verge of giving them up, as I could not get to grips with the braking, and it was just becoming masochism, The WTCC cars on the other hand are..IMHO among the best in any SImbin product, I used to love WTCC in Race07 more than GTL or GTR2 |

Might be ok for doing Cats and vanilla / any good mod tryout alternatively. |

Thanks for the ideas  There is already a poll in progress which could bring Evo content (GTs) here, so I'm keeping away from that. Porsche Supercup is cool and will be an option next time. As WTCC seems popular....and because we now have limited time to arrange this........ We could still run the existing series using these tracks, but replace the Clio with stock WTCC 06 and 07 cars. It would in effect replicate the 2008 BTCC season (because the Clio Cup was one of the support races in this series). The cars are very similar although there would of course be a couple of cars missing (the Civic and the Vectra IIRC). Obviously there is a choice of fwd and rwd. Is this a plan??? |

Sounds great GT Can I also suggest that we take last nights event out of the Championship, turn it into a fun/non-championship event. Leaving the rest exactly as is, to become the BTCC series. |

BTCC?...groan....Halfords go faster stripe brigade  Again not for me. Will try out a few of the cars but cant see me liking them though a rwd model may entice if its not dog slow. Whats wrong with flipping GT classes? Particulary their version of GT3 series in Evo, those cars are great fun to race and should provide close racing. But as others say, commend you on trying different formats and mods. If you do want the full up to date BTCC series, there are a few add-on mods to enhance it with some of the missing car models etc. |

Whats wrong with flipping GT classes? Nothing, but for the immediate future, I believe GT cars (be it GTR2 / Evo / Race) are being kept for Sunday's, think of this as Race'07 non-GT's. (I believe) If you do want the full up to date BTCC series, there are a few add-on mods to enhance it with some of the missing car models etc. Not at the moment, I think we're going for some default racing for this series... (I believe) |

Cats are slow and fun. I'm with MJ, lets go for something. It's like you boys are afraid of Evo powerboats.  |

Might Sunday be GT's in EVO if the vote goes that way? BTCC?...groan....Halfords go faster stripe brigade Again not for me. Will try out a few of the cars but cant see me liking them though a rwd model may entice if its not dog slow. Whats wrong with flipping GT classes? Particulary their version of GT3 series in Evo, those cars are great fun to race and should provide close racing. WTCC I believe. RWD beamer is great fun, if a little slower than FWD fags, if I remember right. Thumbs up for me. C'mon MJ, at least I tried those horrid Clios before venting my spleen Maybe your driving style is better suited to FWD?  |
