Forward mate, but I would say the comp is finished as it has been going for a while now.

I like the idea of a championship but maybe cut it to 5 races? Five tracks would still take ages i would say.

track format looks good but can i suggest using any of the cars you can acquire from that country???? as long as it is factory not race. so concepts would be allowed as well and the 4 cyl. i think this open the comp up a lot more.

Congrats BA GT-HO!

How about something like a special license comp? Like the MOTUL 350Z around suzuka test? Who can get the fastest time in that test? That way you cant cheat AT ALL as far as I know, because you can't mod the car or take shortcuts or bounce off walls.

Just an idea?

while I agree FWD does suck, if you do it right you can still have fun. Go drive the 205 Gti turbo and tell me thats not fun!

I suggested something like that a few weeks back, but didn't see anyone who was up for it... Maybe cause it's too limited in what you drive and what track you use... But i'll surely be in it if it happened :

Sounds like a good idea to me, certainly makes for a level playing field...

How are you going to police that - thats the very problem we had with the original Nurburring course.

Easy. When you post the pic of your time, it should also show the car used.

The problem with the ring challenge was that the car was to be stock. There is no way to police that.
Modifications are free in this proposed comp.

But there doesn't seem to be any interest in the championship. So I'll wait for, something, to start.

OK no one else is doing anything so I will start something. Special License test I reckon, either:

INFINEON RACEWAY 1 LAP TEST: Audi R8 Race Car

OR

SUZUKA 1 LAP TEST: MOTUL Pitwork 350Z

Or want to do an F1 style aggregate time? Do both tests and put both times together? That rewards consistancy I spose..?

I'm voting for Suzuka, not if we don't do a special licence test though.
