Re: TEC Community Event - Race Poll

Will this event be scored as part of the TEC?
Sorry to post in the poll thread its just that i will try to get some of my guys over to race with me if isnt. Will be with MKR if it is.

Not voted yet as cant decide, I was expecting pintos v transits Very Happy

R.e. the poll change: I blame human error. It was not some sinister plot, just a lapse in communications that was corrected as soon as it was pointed out.

Let me try to explain why the Audi TT DTM/BMW M3 GT wouldn't work: Class 2 would have faster top speed than Class 1. That could get messy as the Audi drivers get stuck behind the slower BMWs through the twisty bits, waiting for a chance to overtake safely, only to not have enough speed to clear them on the straight. This would force the Audi drivers to take more risks and cause more wrecks.

Sorry for any misunderstanding that the erroneous posting may have caused.

Maybe the TT/M3 idea could work on Ladera Mini. Very Happy

Honestly, both options look pretty awesome right now.

How come the German Evolution only has BMW's not other German Cars

Point me out on this as I could be being stupid but... Why not just switch cars with the class... that way class 1 would be faster Neutral

Whippy, the Audi has faster lap times overall due to much better cornering and acceleration, but the BMW has more top end speed.

by **Ax4x Bandit** Fri 12 Jul 2013 - 22:47

What about the Audi R8 instead of the BMW Prototype?

by Adder 020 Fri 12 Jul 2013 - 22:58

What about no changes anymore?

+1 on that. Beats the old ways of one car being quicker in everything. Will make it a very very challenging race. Of course, you will get thee odd idiot that doesnt understand the principle of patience.

We're all adults here and we all race like adults and we take care of each other on track so why would that be a problem. Just makes those overtakes much more crucial.

by **HCR Motorhead** Sat 13 Jul 2013 - 13:05

I like both ideas at the moment. Why couldn't we do half of both! Very Happy

LOL Nice. Only problem with that is I don't have any of them cars Sad

by Adder 020 Sun 14 Jul 2013 - 22:17

Thanks Lastnewt, I didnt see that.
Are the boys in blue giving tomorrow more info about registration, starting time etc?

by LastNewtStandin Sun 14 Jul 2013 - 22:23

I hope so, the poll is changing still so may still be open?
I just fancied a bit of Road Atlanta but didn't mind either to be honest. I'm just happy its a single car in each class Smile
