I've finalized the tracks and all the race settings for this Sunday.
With current settings, 3 of the races will be non-contact and at least 2 of them with custom cars, so what you definitely DO need is a custom Felon and a (fast enough) custom Italian Super car (Tempesta, Zentorno, Osiris or X80 recommended) or you'll be forced to use a stock car.
In the third non-contact race we will all be using a Tropos Rallyie. If only a few (1-3) wont have a custom one, I'll turn customs ON and they'll unfortunately have to use a stock one and finish at the back, but if there will be more of you without one, we will all be racing a stock Tropos Rallyie, so you don't need to buy one.

 

Here's an entire programme with all the details; track, settings, type of racing, grids and allowed cars:

1. A Rally Experience by @Protocawl, P2P, Non-Contact, Sports, Noon/Current Weather

    Staggered start: Vacca (at 1:00), Cheetah&Infernus (at 1:09), Reaper&Turismo (at 1:14), those in the same car, let the old people go in front of you at the start

[Crawford1872 2,587]

Forgot to mention that the 1872 in my name is actually my other birthday, I'm like the queen I get two, so on those races I'm actually 145 years old and will be at the front thank you everyone for understanding  

[zmurko 7,622]

It also means you will start at the back in the Brioso race.

 

[Crawford1872 2,587]

all the youngsters will bottle that one at the final corner anyways on lap 1 so I can deal with that ;D 

[LimeGreenLegend 4,275]

I'll be there tonight.  Don't have many of the customs but I do like the old people starting in front thing  

[Fido_le_muet 5,198]

I'll be there as well. 

I don't have a Felon so hopefully I can find one before the PL starts. Otherwise I'll just pick the stock one and you'll let me start 20 minutes before you all

I've switched the classes for tracks No. 6 and No. 8, as Il Circuito Alta is perhaps too difficult for Sports Classics. I've also replaced the last track with a "brand new" crew created Italian track called 'L'anello Quadrato'. You're gonna love it, some might even recognize the layout.

If you are going to get technical Bugatti is German as it is owned by VW I believe...

Lamborghini is also owned by VW, but it's still an Italian brand 

[Fido_le_muet 5,198]

Bugatti is french. Period. 

Let us have just that please.

Yup, for me a cars heritage marks its Nationality, lots of brands are owned by companies in different countries to their origin but IMO they retain their original nationality. Especially when we are dealing with a video game based in a world of satire.

Well it looks like a tampon after a period...  

[Fido_le_muet 5,198]

Awesome event Z. Thanks for hosting. 

Definitely the most creative and innovative racing event ! Great fun ! 

[zmurko 7,622]

Thanks for joining everyone. Perhaps it was a bit on the longer side, but I really wanted to experience these lovely Italian cars.

 

Next SRL will be a standard endurance race. Class/car(s) & track to be decided.

After driving the Infernus around The Square Ring L'annelo Quadrato tonight, I might just force you all to do that for 48mins, it was lovely! 

 

Video (stream)  of my POV (should be available in full after it's completely processed by YT):

[zmurko 7,622]

Vote for class/car selection for the next 24h Endurance race here:

 

Thank you!

[zmurko 7,622]

Looks like majority voted for slow (2nd tier) sports cars, so we'll go with that in the next 24h Endurance race.

 

I've tested a track today and pretty much every sports car I have (except those not fitting the criteria), just a quick 3 lap race with each one and these are rough results:

Omnis & Ruston are way off the pace (almost 2s behind next slowest set of cars), so we wont be using them.

Then there's a couple of cars that I'm gonna allow to be used in case anyone doesnt own anything else, but they are both slower, around 2s behind the fastest group. They are Sprunk Buffalo and Stirling GT.

Then there's a group of cars that are just a little slower than the fastest group (around one second), those are Tropos, Sultan and most likely Kuruma too (completely screwed up my Kuruma run, but it looked to be on similar pace).

And finally we have a competitive group of cars that I'm guessing most will use, those are Comet, Banshee and even Carbonizzare. Comet is probably the fastest, but also the most difficult to drive.

Then there's a final group of cars, that might be a little too OP (for different reasons), but I'm gonna allow them to be used by "slower" drivers in case they already have one and don't want to buy any other car. Those are Surano, Bestia and Specter Custom.

I still need to test the Alpha, Coquette, Lynx and Verlierer, but they should fit somewhere in between.

 

Track I've used for testing is:

Rockford Int. Raceway by LancerEvoWRC (*not necessary the track we'll be using in the event)

A pretty fast and flowing circuit with smooth corners, so it isnt difficult to get around, but it rewards you with better times if you can take the fastest lines. It's also a pretty short one (around 1:20), so you can expect some traffic after some laps.

[zmurko 7,622]

Coquette was there with Sultan and Tropos, so can be used too, but it's a bit more unpredictable

Verlierer was much closer to Comet and Banshee and looks to be competitive, it has nice traction, good power, but quite heavy understeer.

Lynx, well..., it pretty much sucks compared to these cars, about as "fast" as Ruston and Omnis, so I don't advice using it.

From my experience, Alpha will be very close to Coquette, maybe even faster.

 

So the following cars will be eligible to use in the next Endurance race:

Alpha, Banshee, Carbonizzare, Coquette, Comet, Kuruma, Sultan, Tropos, Verlierer

 

You can also use Sprunk Buffalo or Stirling GT, but they are both slower.

Anyone that doesn't have any of the above cars (or refuse to use any of them), but already has a Bestia, Specter Custom or Surano and is not considered one of the fast racers, can also use one of them, just let me know in advance.

It would be cool if we could have every one of these cars on the starting grid.

I will most likely use either a Banshee, Comet or Carbonizzare, but can buy any of the cars if we'll be missing some on the grid.

 

[zmurko 7,622]

A bit of a heads up. If you dont already have one of these cars, plan on buying one and are on a tight budget, I suggest one of the American cars, as you can then use it again when we do the American themed PL in few weeks time (5-7). So either an Alpha, Banshee, Coquette or Verlierer.

[zmurko 7,622]

Some future SRL details for weeks ahead if anyone is interested.

Is there a way we can all be clear precisely when each car starts before the race?

It's a bit hectic with 1 person trying to arrange everyone, but if we all knew before the race, I think it'd be easier.

Yeah, thats what we did in the Italian PL already (if you look at the details I had all the start times listed for every car in staggered starts).It's easy to plan ahead if I know what cars can be used (limited number of them). The age grid was a bit confusing, I admit, but that was just a one-off to try out one of the suggestions from the forum.
So anyone that reads the details ahead already knows when to start, for those that dont read the details before the event, I still listed all the times before each start and we actually had time to spare before each race and had to wait for the 1min mark every time (that's when starts were planned).

[zmurko 7,622]

Has everyone got a car ready for Sunday? Remember, it has to be one of the following:

Alpha, Banshee, Carbonizzare, Coquette, Comet, Kuruma, Sultan, Tropos, Verlierer

or Sprunk Buffalo or Stirling GT, but they are both slower.

Anyone that doesn't have any of the above cars (or refuse to use any of them), but already has a Bestia, Specter Custom or Surano and is not considered one of the fast racers, can also use one of these three, just let me know in advance.

I'm still trying to figure out where and how to hook up my PS4 for the race, hopefully I'll have something figured out by Sunday.

[djw180 6,977]

I'll be using the Sultan.
