Clio Cup Season 2 Suggestions

I'd sacrifice the similarity to get more people in. Being able to tune and upgrade the V6s and allowing people to run the stock one too would be awesome :-)

Shame Monaco isn't on Forza! I'd kill to have a Clio round there!

i would keep it simple all sport platform and handling upgrades

Can you then force no tuning if you've upgraded the cars?

sport parts are not tunable anyway

I'm gonna sit down with some guys at one point and sort the builds out.

After this season obviously

Also, don't shy away from using full length circuits for these cars. Clio V6s would really come into their element on the longer circuits.

Many many years ago I ran 207 S2000s on Forza 2. The best races to be had were at places like Road America, Suzuka and Silverstone.

Silentalarm42 ran a Clio Cup Seriesa while back, using mostly Sport parts, and it was great... and also my first full Series in TORA. The 197 with the right upgrades, can be a very quick and fun car to drive. If I have the tune still, I'll gladly post it on my SF for free and send it unlocked to (someone on my XBL Friend List) to distribute to you guys.

nickyf1, I remember having some great battles w/ you in that series. Tsukuba and laguna Seca were great fun.

I must admit...I'm not a great fan of the v6 Clio I'd much rather bring the 197 into current Clio cup guidelines and try it out and see what its like....just like the real thing

If you need some help testing the new car builds then i'll be more than happy help!

I'd agree with you mate.. If I ad to choose I would pick the 197..

I'm looking to have Clio Cup Season 2 return on Wednesdays, 8PM BST, from 19th June in another 5 race series that will last 5 weeks.

Similar format, different builds, different tracks

as a newbie and after just one race night under my belt i first like to say what a great night and well done to hosts for a great job. on changing format id be happy to go with anything you decide although as the lobby numbers show you dont seem to be doing too much wrong!!! for my pennies worth i like idea of other tracks and sportier cars (v6) just wish i was avaliable for more races. any races happen on a sunday????? cheers again keep up great work fellas

Hey Major

Our main series run on Sundays at 8pm BST.

We are just in a middle of a change so expect sunday racing to return very very very soon

TCR events are to be run on other nights during the week Regrets.

PS thanks for the date change Chucky!

This has been a great season so far, especially since the number of competitors has risen.

In my opinion, keeping this as a fixed build, non-tuning series would be of great benefit to TORA and could serve as an excellent 'rookie' event for newcomers to the site.

A site I used to frequent used to run something similar and insisted that all new racers competed in the series before they were allowed to enter the headline events - I'm not sure this is something TORA would want to pursue but I think we should encourage new racers in this direction. It's a great way of familiarising yourself with the way a TORA event runs and the standards we expect without the pressure and intensity of series like TORA GT's, ISCC, TCC, etc

+2!

This is exactly how I feel about this. TORA NEEDS a simple non-tuning championship in a slow, simple car for rookies to cut their teeth in. Plus it's amazingly fun and close for everybody else too!

Plus alerntaing FWD RWD & 4WD there are so many fun cars we dont use I will have a look at this tonight

This is why I wanted to host this series Jono - I've been saying it for months, now we have it!

Don't worry, Season 2 won't be too crazy in upgrades, just one or two me thinks.

Yeah gotta agree with that, needs more stock series for rookies. I jumped in at deep end in the GT Sprints and got my arse royally kicked, done three DTM races and two Clio races and last night was by far the best race I've had in terms of raw pace, just need to translate that to a whole race and qualifying now :-)

If there is a desire for a tuning option I would suggest running a two tier system with the Clio V6s at say 480PI set upgrades open to tuning and the current cars as they are, different lobbies (unless a low entry) same kickoff time. I'd prefer to see it stay as is mind.

Wow - at least 3 people that agree with me, I better get Mrs Jono to read this to prove I'm not always wrong

I will have a look tonight all will post something later

+4 Jono, great statement! We could use the Clio cup as a stepping stone to the TORA TCC as the driving standards have been 50/50 this season in the TCC.
