[gauging interest] Super Trofeo mini series.

Proposal : Super Trofeo.

Car : 2011 Lamborghini #08 West Yokohama Gallardo LP560- 4 R3

Times : Fridays 10.30pm BST , 17.30 EST. ( 45min races )

Tracks : TBD.

Just post below if you would be intrested or have any questions.

Hmm... sort of a cross between TGT and Spec Cars? Depending on the rules and tracks this could be a good one.

On a very similar theme in terms of performance, silentalarm42 had come up with a spec tuned JGTC 300 Subaru series which has yet to see the light of day, but tested brilliantly.

I might get in on this.

yea sounds like fun max out front and rear width more power im in

yeah Duncan that could be done + race brakes light rims

Mikey im thinking open assists and keeping it on short to medium tracks like motegi east .....

I am torn between allowing upgrades or banning tuning entirely to be honest.

One one hand, upgrades can make the cars easier to drive, but rewards the better tuners. Forcing stock build/tune takes personal preferences out, but equalizes the cars and puts everything in the hands of the driver.

As for the tracks, anywhere that sees lots of passing opportunities. And I am in agreement with short to medium tracks, but a couple longer tracks, such as Road America, have some great passing opps too.

if we can get enough interest tracks and rules can be decided between us rather than deciding on myown.

Super trofeo? Win.

been thinking about doing something like this myself after watching some of the series on TV

as with the real series i thought it would be good to force ABS on as they are made to do so in the races

and possibly run 2 races, one with a grip reduction penalty to simulate a wet race

Forcing ABS on is a defo no go , but keep the ideas coming please

shame, i would have thought any virtual racing would mimic their real life series as much as possible

I understand that but its like a step back imo

maybe, but i thought it was interesting when Tiff did his bit on telly saying he struggled to get used to racing with abs - can't remember if the cars they use are AWD or RWD

Maybe use that stupidly crazy looking Lamborghini that is supposed to be a road car that's in the game. Can't mind the name of it now...but it doesn't look like a road car. I'm sure it's a Trofo something.

sesto elemento

That's the one

Umm not a bad idea

Having never driven it I don't know how it handles, but I remember when it was first released as a pre game promo car I wanted to see a series use it. Matt and I were pushing to have it as the spec series car instead of the 458 when the game was first released but no one else would take us up on the idea, plus it's money

for R3 its a great lobby car... main problem with using it for a race series is that you can't paint it

Oh man that sucks. Use the GT2 car.

Thats out then , ill get real life specs this evening and see what i can come up with

found this online... it is an AWD build, so the GT2 car isn't the one they use

sure we could build a car to this spec though....
