Since I am down to host on the 8th of April, I do have an idea that I'm toying with but will require quite a bit of testing to balance cars.

Cars of TV and Film...

So far I have:

  • Classic Mini (The Italian Job/Mr Bean)
  • Dodge Challenger (Vanishing Point/Death Proof)
  • 1993 Toyota Supra (The Fast and the Furious)
  • Nissan Skyline R34 (2 fast 2 Furious)
  • Ford Mustang Mach 1 (James Bond - Diamonds are Forever)
  • Ferrari GTO (Magnum P.I)
  • Pontiac Trans Am (Smokey and the Bandit)
  • BMW Z8 (James Bond - The World Is Not Enough)

Probably a few more if people can suggest anything?

Obviously these are in difference classes so some balancing will need to be done, the idea being people paint up the cars are they appeared in their respective shows/films.

Good or bad idea?

Nice tie ins @Mythaga...

Would we hit all this in one night or spread them out over a few nights?

Unfortunately it also remind me how frustrating GTS can be when it comes to ‘meets’ with the ghosting an inability to get out of your car 😞

Yes it is a bit frustrating that everyone ghosts when sat still...

The idea is a try and balance the cars as much as possible using weight/power percentages. The classic Mini maxed out is just as quick as an N300 car even though it stays N100??

I will do some testing to see if its possible as I own all the cars above. There would be limited number of cars and everyone would pick a different car, I was thinking just a one night thing.

Aha. I thought you meant Mini Race, followed by Bond race etc etc...

Sounds cool.

15th or 22nd of April I’m going to host a Supercup Promo/Testing night. 

I’m going to include all the confirmed tracks; Catalunya, RBR, Monza, Brands Hatch, Nurburgring. There will be short races on each one just to test weight penalties/bonuses. I’ll also be capturing lots of footage of us all racing so I can make a promo video so I’d like the cars looking their best. 

The sooner we have it the better so I have more time to make the video so I’m preferring 15th but if people need more time to create their liveries I can push it back to the 22nd.

@Squirrel Are you wanting to run the Super Cup test session on the 15th or the 22nd? As @ajh_1990 wants to run the Super Formula night on the 29th I believe.

Just trying to plan the calendar for the next few weeks :classic_smile:

  • 2 weeks later...

So, just keeping track of where we are with the calendar...

15/04 - Super Cup test session @Squirrel
22/04 - ?
29/04 - Super Formula @ajh_1990
06/05 - ?
13/05 - ?
20/05 - Super Cup round 1 @Squirrel

As you can see we have a few dates that need filling, if anyone would like to host anything let me know.

I could host something on the 22nd but its bank holiday Monday and traditionally this has meant a poor turn out...

Are people going to be around, or shall we just skip that week?

I am only really going to be turning up for SuperCup on Monday's...

If something catches my eye I might hop on though, unfortunately I just have to much GTA stuff on to regularly commit to GTS.

You need to be cured of your GTA addiction! Going cold turkey worked for me...now I just don't want to touch that game at all :classic_tongue:

Therapy only works on those who are willing to partake 😉
