Chad, have you ever thought about doing a full IZOD Indycar Championship before?
because i was thinking, it'd be a great idea, have a few races on ovals and road courses, then have this as the finale, just a thought

That's a great idea! Id love to do this if it went ahead!

+1 There is no one that I know of that does that kind of series on Forza. I would love to give it a try.

I'd be in on an IndyCar season too, that'd be absolutely fantastic. Especially if we used cars with no tunes or upgrades!

We have tried but never had the Interest levels to keep it going sadly.

by theboomeranga Mon 25 Feb 2013 - 0:21

would you be willing to try it again?
have a lot more members now

Chad when we were doing the prototype racing the other night I was thinking about it. The races don't have to be long, just 45/1h's worth. Or 50 laps on ovals. Simples. I'm sure it would go down well, even if there's just 8/10 people that's on it. Even wouldn't mind stock prototypes! (But then obv. would have to balance out)

by HCR Bellmond Tue 26 Feb 2013 - 12:51

Lmpc chevys would be perfect!!

just run the Acura's, they're heaps fun
if we do i'm running the Verizon one, already have the car painted, and the series logo

I agree, the acuras would be ideal for an Indycar series.

by FSR Groves Tue 26 Feb 2013 - 21:49

Acura's would be the simplest way to do it, Just so long as they aren't upgraded it'll make for close racing.

A lot of people would love an IndyCar series and it wouldn't be hard to make. It'd be awesome!

by Ax4x Chaddy Tue 26 Feb 2013 - 22:55

Ill look into it guys

by theboomeranga Wed 27 Feb 2013 - 2:07

if you need help with anything i'm more than willing to help

Memorial Day Weekend is two months away; any word on when this event will be held?

by Ax4x Chaddy Wed 27 Mar 2013 - 22:37

There could well be some free Sundays coming up so I shall ask the staff very soon about it. I reckon if the race is successful, I will look into running a championship.

by FSR Groves Wed 27 Mar 2013 - 22:41

Well i for one can't wait for the race, and the championship if one materializes Smile

by Wooflers Thu 28 Mar 2013 - 16:10

Done a few simulations with this prototype oval and it really is exciting, needs a lot of control. Wish I had a steering wheel lol!

by **Ax4x Bandit** Thu 28 Mar 2013 - 17:03

I would love to see an IndyCar championship. Definitely be something new! Smile

by AAR ABEnstein Thu 28 Mar 2013 - 17:17

My suggestions to the organizers:

Format: 3 hours/500 miles - whichever comes first.
The real-life race record is around 2 hours and 45 minutes, so that would allow for a few cautions.

It will be great if there are 2 lobbies, but then there will either have to be no cautions or 2 separate winners.

For the series idea, Twin Ring Motegi, Sonoma IRL are good places to start. Those races should be should be 1.5-2 hours.

by HCR Bellmond Thu 28 Mar 2013 - 18:01

Looks the the wheel will come out of retirement for the ovals!!

by theboomeranga Thu 28 Mar 2013 - 22:06

i recon Indy, twin ring, Sedona, sunset, sonoma IRL, Catalunya, Laguna Seca, Road America, Road Atlanta

The 3rd TORA Wheldon 500 - Page 3 8603817068_63c127fa49_z

4 wide during testing with a bunch of computers. I'm all the way to the right. The car all the way to the left was being lapped, and the two in the middle were fighting with me for the lead.
