TASCAR 2012 - General Discussion

Discuss Away about the upcoming 2012 Season of TASCAR

Who's ready for some TASCAR?!

Cant wait!

YES. YES.

Anyone have any idea about track selection other than Indy Oval and Infineon NASCAR circuit?

What day/time might this be run?

Most likely to see Sunset Penninsula, Benchmark Layout C (1.12 Mile flat oval), Elkhart Lake and Motegi Speedway.

My two cents...

Benchmark C is the best oval in the game.

And if you use the "NASCAR has actually raced there" prerequisite, then Laguna Seca would be an option, as I saw the NASCAR West Series race there back in the 80s. Not sure how it would work out in Forza, but it was hard on equipment in real life.

Since NASCAR went to Suzuka East in the 1990s, that would make for a good add. Have run this one alot with NASCAR cars ever since, and these cars on this track makes for some real fun.

Think Mark maybe already one step ahead with those tracks Mikey

When exactly are we starting this?

The Series Starts in July nicky. plenty of time for me to unveil the rules and such. schedule is set, just figuring out a couple 'meeting' Titles (like how nascar races are sponsored events)

expect alot going down @ Sunset Oval.

...also considering a One-off TASCAR-Classic style race, using the Regal GNX around Infineon FULL. ive got a build for the GNX, and a '87 Trans-Am painted as a Safety Car. Could prolly run this the next saturday that's free (which i think isnt until the saturday after the 24hr Le Mans)

Yes. Do that.

if everyone else is on board for the One-Off race, i can post info about it later

I'm very much up for that.

In my Hotlap Challenges, we've done Classic NASCAR with 60's/70's Muscle Cars, including Charger, Chevelles, GTOs, Plymouth GTX, 4-4-2, 64 Impala, 64 Thunderbolt and Charger Daytona.

Those cars, with no PI limits, but no tire/spring/antiroll upgrades, are a handful, but absolute fun around the big ovals. 1,000 BHP Mopars on stock tires and suspension = 180 MPH drifting.

In the logo thread, it says something about TASCAR Trucks....?

Yeah, the 'Trucks' would be like the Support series to the main TASCAR races. Set to run a little before qually for the main event @ about 1/3 distance.

Would anyone like to partake in some testing after 'dega and the ISCC race?

Oooh, will we be getting the Dodge Rams out again?

Very tempting! Yeah go on then

Aye, hopefully I should be on around 9:00

I'll probably be around if you guys would so desire.

If I'm on FIFA, I'll switch over with an invite.

Also, if anyone is looking for livery inspiration, I always have a wee nosey on Jayski. A great resource!

Good website. Great find Nicky! Shame that all the #10 schemes are naff. I'll stick with my Texaco paint
