i hate macau..hope the choices are better than that!  to be honest i just dont see the point in running constant random or fun races. You are never going to get numbers up with races that ultimately dont count for anything. Even in the heady days of big grids here, fun races were always poor turnouts. Mini leagues and series are far better, people find them more engaging and competitive and gives you goals/rivals to compete with. |

Let's pick tracks that enable enjoyable racing - the ones we used were fine. Also, other classes besides BTCC? |

Personally, I wouldn't mind a sort of 4-race mini championship with either of the above cars (and I'd be happy to set one up if required as well). But I'll be there whatever the races are. |

Fun races can also be used to measure support for ideas not yet published  |

yeah sorry, didnt mean to sound negative when your trying to set something up  Your efforts are appreciated  Its just so frustrating on here lately with small grids on all platforms, and as i said, fun races have never historically done well numbers wise and im a bit worried random choices will just grab a handful of drivers each time.  Its a shame the TC series ended when it did as we had just started to see the odd new face turn up and try it out. Will watch this space. ....How about Zondas & Matech GT's at Spa?  |

ive only tried the zonda at Brands and it felt fantastic there, mighty fast, so imagine its even better on tracks that it can stretch its legs on. Tbh i havent tried about 2/3rds of the cars available in race07/Evo ! Lots of untapped potential for good racing perhaps. Bring it on |

I'd like to start the Retro expansion trial with a single spec series featuring all of the cars, one make per race. However the choice for day is restricted. GTL/P&G have Monday and Thursday fully booked until year end. Friday's and Saturday's are unpopular which leaves Tuesday or Wednesday (I'll rule out Sunday now cos I can't do them ). GT's F1 series is on Tuesday so Wednesday seems the only night available. That's a MARA night so I'm dubious about whether it's worth the effort  |

I'm reading this thread but I can't feel any real driving experience being provided. So far I don't see any massive enthusiasm even for fun race(s). |
