Mazz you're an order of magnitude off on pricetag :(

No argument on the rest.  I'd do the same.  Sounds like all you're missing is a day's work to get it done.

I've been running the trucks, tour mods, Carb Cup. Strickly oval racing right now. Been testing the Silver Crown car at Milwaukee for when I get to B class. As soon as the Sprint Car comes out, I'll be in that too. 59 starts, 1 win and 21 top 5s so far.

Daytona 500, im guessing Uptown will be there  :neener: maybe ill run it too. Im eating crap with the F1 right now, ive no idea what 3/4 of the setting parameters do :uhoh

Maybe we should all get together in an hosted Mx5 1h race with 1 mandatory pit stop. The Mx is the easyest car to drive with the Mazda open whell. The AcesHigh race of GVs.

Not much - but there is a difference for the better players, I hear.  Aero mostly, I think. 

Wheel is also on the wrong side of the car in the Roadster... unless you're in the UK... in which case it's still on the wrong side but accepted as normal.  :D

The gearing can be more advantageous on some tracks. The aero difference have been reduced in last update. Ot also depends on your driving style, I think the handling is different from one car to the other.

Lets shoot for next weekend, like saturday noon. I need to find out how much it costs to host a race, how it works ... And give time to practice to whoever. Ill PM findings to whoever is in this thread.

Im thinking the Mx5 because everyone has it. For the track, maybe a default one so no one has to spend monies. The Glen short is the friendliest a far as rom for passing but I think it's not a default one.

What we got for default?
Lame Rock, Laguna ... Summit maybe?
Why don't u guys vote :) vote closes Monday morning.

I was thinking street stock at Thompson.....otherwise Lame Rock in the Miata.

Fighting a heavy case of over steer coming off the corners, probably doesnt help driving with a joystick.

Here is a good one....

I love the restrictor plate races so I bought Talladega and Chevy Impala SS for the Carb Cup. Well I get about ten laps around the whole course and see that a race is starting. I figure without a qualifying run I will start at the back and have some fun while staying out of the way, wrong. Some genius sticks me on the pole, even though I have not turned a lap with a single car around me. Now I sit in front of 20 cars, with not a freaking clue what I am doing. Turns out I lead lap one, get to turn three on lap two and get bumped drafted. Fair enough, only I didn't do what ever it was I was supposed to do and get loose. Luckily I only wreck my car and limp around to finish the race a couple of laps down. Talk about exciting!! Mixed with a little "Oh crap"...
