Re 2007 TRD 3 V8 Supercar Championship

[Peter Vuko]

Well guys the 2007 V8 series starts in March. Thought I would put out some feelers to see who is interested & what format the series should take. In 2006 we ran the same events as the real series, starting each Rd on the weekend of the actual race. This meant we had usually about 3 weeks between Rds. We used normal simulation, with no boosts allowed & the race Rds usually included a default set up race & a free set up race. We also ran Enduros & some Reverse Grid races. Here are some options for this year. Could you please express offers of interest in entering the series & what format you would like to see.
Options:
1. Keep format like last series. This would mean 14 Rds of racing from March to December.
2. Keep format like last year but allow boost - this would be similar to the FAP series - this could allow for a Codemasters Hall of Fame style Qualifying where top 3 qualifyers would get bonus pts.
3. Use same format as last year but Use Pro- Simulation mode - harder but more rewarding & the actual times are much closer to the real thing.
4. Use normal sim but make up our own calendar & events - this would mean we could slot in a mixture of Aussie tracks & International tracks.
Comments please!!!!

i would say no to the boost..as i haven't got it. Unless your using it just for practise and to get in the hall of fame, but not using it for real quali and race.

I would like to see the same format as last year, but include some international circuits as well..like donington park

definatly keep the normal sim..i dont like pro sim so much..the cars seem sluggish and less predicatable..and could lead to spread out races..while the normal sim lead to some very close finishes last year..even in the enduros.

i'd like to see less enduros, and more middlish distance races. the short races are ok..

default and free setups..hmm..i dont like the mixture as much..so..either stick with defaults or free set ups for the entire race weekend. Perhaps tell us before the ch'ship begins..or at the end of the preceding round what it is..so we can practise. Or just allow free setups throughout the series.

and i'd like to keep my holden please

Either 1 or 4

1 or 4 and I'll join

I'm in again to make the back of the grid more interesting.

I liked last years format, including the reverse grid races. Boost isn't very realistic. But the adding or replacing races for some international tracks sounds good, we could have an Australian champion and an International champion.

So I'd say 4 or 1.

Number 1

Happy to keep it as it is. I'd definitely be in for another crack at the V8s

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I'd like to use Pro-sim handling on some rounds because I think that the normal handling of the V8's is very dodgy. Having an edgy car that is difficult to control suits my driving style. (Hence why I'm good in Clio's and DTM but rubbish in FPA were there is a lot of grip)

I'd like the race calender to be as close to the real thing as possible with a mixture of sprints and enduro's.

I don't know what boost is for V8's but I'd like Hall of Fame practice. Even if we would only get on to the 2nd or 3rd pages

I dont know how it was last year, but I'm in! V8 HoF is full of cheaters (DTM, Clio and BMW Williams F1 too) like Phase 111, child 3 years old, Helge Olsen, RaZoR,Sylvain Brault, Armando Aguiles and Alejandro De la paz.
