2016 S1 Skip Barber

yep, mp4 all the way

Truth be told I suck at the GTx cars so I dont care which way we go. I think we should be looking at increasing our field so a set of cars that would drive good participation is the way to go. I would really like to see larger fields so maybe we need to do something different. Anyone can run what we have been running by joining an official race or practice room.

I dont have the answers neccessarily but we could through out suggestions.. so I I will start.

2 races sprints 2 different cars (GT3/Slowsitce), 25 minutes each, no pitstops. Qualify during the first week then grid based on previous weeks finish from here on out.

I think we were more evenly matched when we ran GT3. Yes, there are more driving aids on those cars but I remember close battles during the GT3 season. There are now more cars to chose from, including a ….ford….

I personally do not do well when we run two different cars in a race night. I end up sacrificing practice in one to get better in the other….for that selfish reason I am not in favor of running two different cars in a night.

My vote is GT3.

If we were to go open wheel, I would vote for the old Indy car. I feel that the old car feels so much better than the DW12 and since it’s free we all would have it.

Cars we have not run a full season with since Russ and I joined LZ. Just tossing these out there. DW12, Ford Mustang, Radical, Star Mazda, V8 Supercar 2012, FW31. Also, the new F1 is releasing with the December build.

I’m down with whatever is chosen. Team events are fun but much better with larger leagues. As it stands right now, it may be a challenge getting teams to work. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t give it a shot if that is what everyone is interested in.

First off I would like to thank the LZ Admins / Brain Trust for all of the effort and iRacing dollars spent hosting our events. Thanks guys, very much appreciated! Please let me know if I can make a contribution to the cause for future events.

In terms of car selection for a new season, the faster cars tend to create more distance between our drivers, considering the various skill levels (me FFS!).

Anything beyond the GT3 cars is out of my weight class so to speak…lol, I could do some F1 or crazy fast stuff but I couldn’t commit to a full season of it.

There’s been a few suggestions thrown around which all sound good, my 2 cents is that I would like to stay at GT3 or below (above the Jetta and Solstice lol) on medium length tracks in an effort to create some tighter racing for all of us. Creating a series that may draw new members would be a bonus. Using content available to more iRacers may help this.

If we could consider a Team racing scenario that would be cool. With the right exposure we may generate some more Teams joining from outside of our League, but I do agree with Allan that with our current numbers it may prove difficult. However we did do it in Forza with what 8 slots? lol

Looking forward to the new season whatever it brings FFS

Open wheel , any open wheel!!
best choice , Indy car , fixed set , but car tools can be used , weight jacker ect

If we’re going open wheel, I put my vote for the old Indy car or Skippy. I’m fine with fixed setup.
