SROuk GTR Evo or GTR2 on Sunday Poll

[Jeffrey]

I've always been a RWD driver, but I've been racing the FWD Honda at S.nl and I love that car . Got a nice setup which makes the car not understeer and actually have almost equal tyrewear. The FWD cars are actually very precise to drive and quite forgiving, they do require a slightly different approach. Slow in and fast out is far more important, and often a later apex helps in these cars to get the power down earlier.

Looks like its just you and me PR looking forward to the touring car races in Race07.

Isn't there a WTCC test race coming up here? I like them but only the RWD ones

[Jeffrey]

Here is my Honda setup, it was made for Race On's 2008 version, but I think it should be fine for the 2007 Honda, and probably most FWD drive cars:

Hope this can make people enjoy the WTCC more, as they are worth it .

p.s. You have provoked an idea H@L. Would it be worth splitting the season of eight in two too. So effectively you could have something like:

U14a GT2's & U14b LMP2's alternating weeks for 4 weeks each (total 8 weeks). Then U14c SGT500's & UKEvo1 alternating for 4 weeks.
That would be the length of a normal 16 week GTR2 season, but we'd have tried four different options out & non for too long.

My oppinion? 4 races are NOT a Championship.

Yes 4 races would be a short season but, it seems that 16 weeks is a long time to stick to just 2 choices of car class given that the numbers are dwindling. Shorter races definitely works better with less than 15 drivers and I was wondering if it would be the same for the championship length as well. It would make it easier for drivers to attend all of the races in their favourite class would it not?

Maybe we should do a mini, unofficial series for testing instead though and then have a full season. I think that is what we did when we added the last bunch of cars to the car packs if I remember correctly.

Test races definitely coming soon though whatever.

My experience with Front WD cars so far is that I had some good races but, I did not have much motivation to practise. Same with the GT3 class when we used it last time. Requiring less practise time could be a plus at the moment though with everyone playing multiple sims now a days.

I was 'ing at MJ's 'subtle' sarcasm. It tickled me

I'm actually really looking forward to it, speed of cars is of little concern to me

After a 90 min race @ RD I'd say do not discard GTR2. Race/Evo is fun for 20, maybe 30 min stints 'cause of the soft tyres. Anything more and the fun comes down to struggle.

but in GT racing, dont they generally change tyres every 30minutes anyway ?    i think we have been spoiled by GTR2s everlasting tyres. Its always noticeable what a difference it makes to a car when its tyres go off when you watch any kind of GT class racing. As always some cars are better on tyres than others, likewise setups. I havent personally done an EVo/race race over 30mins yet so cant really tell.

[Truetom]

Yes, MJ. I was also thinking we could always do 60 min with one stop, as is the case with FIA GT1 2010 Championship. I would leave pitstps open and see a brave soul go 1 stint. But I would do some real power cars, GT Pro or GT Sports. Or GT1 mod if it's any good.

exactly, this is what i did write in a other letter, you must be very carefuel with server setting for the races.
doing always races only for save tyres kills the fun totaly, realy realy sad that in Race07 only 1 dry tyres and this tyres are much to fast out, in WTCC it is totaly hard, in every league there are only sprint races like 2x20min or 2x25min as maximum, 30min. with WTCC cars is already much to long without stop.
in GTRevo the GT cars are little better in tyres then the WTCC cars, but much faster out then in GTR2 the med tyres, so 30min. stints are maximum i think what is fun, longer stints and we see many come off tracks and spins.
60min. races can be good, but then nobody do ever pit for fuel, think 140l for GT cars and 100l for the slower GT cars, GTR evo is much more limited for strategy, because it is a Race07 addon and this races are always short sprint races (nearly always double sprint races)
perhaps 60min. races with 1xtyres and 2xfuel is something to test, if it works with 1 stop and doing fuel too, but 30min. with 1 tyres are much harder then in GTR2

do someone already know what game(s) come for sunday league?

[H@L9000]

do someone already know what game(s) come for sunday league?

GTR2 but, I may try to include a mini series of Evo races. Maybe 4 races, this is still to be confirmed.

do it, do it, do it ...do...it

Any chance of telling us what the plan is (if any) for the next few weeks? I know the last season has only just finished but it might help some of us reign in our expectations. Plus with Xmas in a few weeks i guess people might be concentrating on other matters.

Test races. Possibly this weekend will be the first one. I will keep everyone informed when I have more details.

[Truetom]

When he's like that he's surely prepairing something special. I'm all ... expectation.
