I don't see the new pack either. I'm not a season pass holder, though. What's the Weisman?

I really like the Corvair and the GTV6. The wagon is a hoot but kinda like driving a truck.

Those are the only three I've bought so far. I just can't get interested in the higher end stuff for some reason....

Had an awesome time racing with the FGC's ITC Lobby tonight. RF is fast . . . srly.

That tire bundle out in turn 5 at Road America is indeed tied together correctly

The 1971 Ferrari 312P completely breaks the game, in a beautiful, organic, screaming way.

Weight matters, folks!

I'm top 1% on three tracks already and haven't touched the tuning setup. The thing's so addictive that I'll probably have it paid off tonight and it's 1.6 million CR.

That's odd; I thought they put owning everything out there as a goal.

Do you have multiple copies of some cars? I know I keep a couple '93 Cobras around, 1 for drift events with 500hp caps (that's the white one I shared), and one for A-class racing (which I've kept to myself but could share if someone were interested).

Separate thought; had a good race with FriedGreenCorrado, BoboftheFuture, and CaptSlow last night, but didn't really get the PI cap you guys were using; I'm assuming it has something to do with SCCA classing which I'm not versed in (I saw ITC on the side of the club-garage Escort).

I built the wagon up with the GT500 engine. Made it AWD and put some 18" Fikse wheels on it and it is soooo friggin fun!!!

Anyone care to share some tuning tips? This thing is awesome, but with the AWD it doesn't want to turn very well. Jacking the e-brake and drifting works, but I'd rather make it handle for realz....

Any ideas?

OH!!

I was gonna say, if anyone's looking for some really good Carbon Fiber, check out my storefront under Conquest351. I have a pic of a fully wrapped Miata in the photo's area so you can check it out. Took me a while to get it just perfect, but it's really good. There's one there just for wings or accent pieces, and another for the sides. The one for the roof is angled and it comes together in a nice V-shape like the Pagani Zonda R. I made them cheap too.

You're right. It's supposed to be a virtual IT class, the cap keeps the cars pretty close to real-world lap times. I'm going to try to do all the way through ITR eventually..I just keep racing online when I should be doing the research! Maybe I'll skip A & B for the moment, work up S so there's some faster cars to play with. Think I'll start with the 240z, FC RX-7, Corrado, and 2nd & 3rd gen Supras. IIRC, the new Miatas are also ITS cars.

Can you point me to docs so that I might roll-my-own for next time? Is it just a cap of 250, or are there other restrictions in play like tire compounds, max displacements, etc?

Basically, they're street cars on DOT rubber, lightened a little, with no internal engine mods. What I did was Google my local track's lap record, and build to where I thought I'd compare IRL. Here's a link to the other thread (explains it a little better).

The NB Miata in the game is a turbo though. I'll have to check on the Alfa GTV and Spider. The Pinto is a B car, the NA Miata is an A car, as is the Fiero.

Basicly, if it's a 1600cc or under, it's C class, even though the '04 Beetle is eligible. If it's 2600cc or under, except for DOHC motors, it's ITB. ITA is DOHC fours and small 6cyl. territory, while ITS is bigger sixes, and cars with better than passenger car suspensions.

I liked racing with you all last night. That pinto was a lot of fun. Unfortunatly the rest of the family kept wanting to "interact" with me (ie. add to the honey do list), so I had to jump over to a game I could pause.

I can only hear people through my tv speakers, not my headset. I bought a new headset, and I've tried three controllers and a wheel, and it's all the same. I'm about to pull my hair out on this!

Nevermind, and I don't want to admit what I did either!
