Definitely psyched for this!

What vinyls are required in this series and how can I procure them? May I paint/vinyl the car according to the general TORA rules?

wooooooooooooow one flying lap! Awesome!

Basically a super pole ouch should be interesting think I'm in for this

Will run some of this series, out for 19th just leaving Puerto Rico vacation.

I could get in on this. Slightly late for me, but I'll do the first two races for sure to try it out!

Off topic a bit here, but I love your signature Mikey! Is there a link to that picture?

IN

will definitely try do this,
too hard to resist

No special vinyls are required, just paint according to general TORA standards. A TORA logo and/or theonlineracingassociation.com somewhere on the car would be appreciated.

Numbers to be on both sides, the top of the roof or hood, and the tail.

Serpent Racing will be fielding two cars to get more drivers for their German TCC team.

V8 Supercars on an oval. Why??

This is technically Bandit's series. I am just helping him run it.

But I can add that I have raced these cars at the Brickyard before, and its really quite fun... otherwise I would have raised my concerns. It should add a nice twist to the series, and we haven't done an oval race in a Friday Night series in a long time.

Why not.... think outside the box, beg to be difrent

You may not think touring cars will do good on an oval, but, trust me, it will be the best racing you have ever done on Forza. Ever.

Ok out side the box it is. 7pm EST instead of 8pm. Ok.

R300.

make em fast.

just sayin.

Id rather they stayed stock with no upgrades and I'm all for the 2013 paint Idea, but Ill have to say Ill run either a Red Bull or VIP Petfoods car

Hmm... B Lobby, or will there be a C Lobby this time around?

Looks like we may even have enough staff racing in this to make it happen

I am unsure of how Daylight Savings Time will affect my friends in the Land of Oz, but (I think) by the first race North America and Europe will all be in DST, so we are going back to the original Midnight/7PM/4PM timeslot.

Did some testing with the Ford and Holden at Indy last night... they are like NASCAR with a bit more grip. Bump drafting is possible, but you gotta watch the corner entry as shoving someone into the turn full speed could cause issues.
