Season 8 Announcement - Nihon Tour

[ajokay]

I had aimed to keep it black. It's a number plate sponsor and should be kept the same really

[blairy20]

Also, does anyone know if #11 has been taken? I wants it!

You've had 11 for the last 6 months

Haha, brilliant! I knew I asked for it when I joined up but was never made aware it was mine.

Happy days!

[ajokay]

You've got your own wiki page now too!

[nOc75]

Matts got the PSP livery all sorted, and i've just finished the main sponsor for my Clio

That looks simple enough i thought. 7 hrs later.... If anyone else has done the same thing i think i'm gonna, i'm gonna, well, do pretty much do fuck all about it.

A wiki page you say?! I've only just fathomed out how to do basic liveries

[Boovolari]

Having seen our new livery on both the Honda (which we originally wanted) and the Hyundai, I actually think the Veloster is the better looking car. Lop-sided and kinda mean looking, Forrest Whitaker style.

Can't wait to race these. Had a very brief run on the most up to date tune this morning and its great fun.

I agree with Tommy that Motegi West is a bit dull, even if it works properly. Assuming the problem is still there, Fujimi Kaido would make a brilliant replacement. We've waited to race there for far too long.

Yes! A Fujimi Kaido race would be this season's equivalent of Amalfi from season 2... except better.

[Covamalia]

Would love a Fujimi Kaido race! Would be epicness of epic proportions

[smifaye]

That track is still up in the air. Not because of the issue we had last time because i think that was a thing specific to that day, but because the cars might not work great round there. I'm looking into it still

[TommyWTF1]

The Indypendables livery is looking rather epic I must say.

We raced the Clios round there last night.


zzzzzz....

Yeah, we didn't encounter the frame rate problem, but the track is just boring, and really a bit too short. I know this is meant to be an Asian series, but I'd replace this with either Silverstone National (which after all is an actual touring car track), Nurburgring Short or Mugello Club.

[Ratonedge]

Either of the shorter Silverstone tracks are BTCCers, I'd prefer the middle one as it is longer and generally better.
(also Anthony Reid threatened to punch Matt Neal there which is just lolz)

[smifaye]

Silverstone won't feature because it features in almost every season, if not all of them! Lol.

Don't worry I have got it sorted

Oh and the clio livery is done, details of that will now be released tomorrow evening along with the livery so you can get painting.

[DanThorn]

I like Motegi west. I like that it's short and that there are two definite an very different lines in to the first corners. It might be boring to drive but it generates good racing (the S2000 race was a cracker) and if frame rate is fine I'd like to race there. It needs to be tested with a good 9 or 10 people though as te issue generally arises when there's lots of cars on track.

[Ratonedge]

Just no Birmingham SuperPrix style race round Positano

[PJTierney]

Tsukuba Short

[Ratonedge]

Or actual Suckyouba...

[TommyWTF1]

Positano

[Boovolari]

Positano

[TommyWTF1]

Positano

[FlavouryRug]

Every season should have one Positano race

Mainly for Pete.

[ajokay]

It's a little known fact that the initial idea for the OSCAR season was 24 races around Positano in the Lancia 037.

[PJTierney]

If the weights are right, hopefully we'll be using these Advan rims this season (Advan is a Yokohama brand), they book pretty sweet



(and no, I haven't started on my livery yet)

[nOc75]

3 spoke. No. No. Never. Ever.
