Sunset Season Starts Soon!

And if you've read that out then you'll need to wipe your monitor.

The first official racing of the season starts this week. Have I got your GroupB car?
I think what we'll do is see who has what on the first race and lock that in. Certainly I've changed my mind a few times, and am back at the S14 category again - that NSX just wasn't fast enough.

So to business, this first race night is a return to some classics really. I hope we enjoy the nostalgia...

The Track(s)
GroupB - Dirt/Toscana  - this is the in house Toscana Dirt track, if you're in a 4WD then you're in.


First championship race is at Leguna Seca in the GT590/4 cars - this'll be a blinder, that track is well suited to these cars. Interesting factoid, all the apexes are marked on that track - no excuse for missing the corner!

Second race is Le Mans, in the tried and tested Exotique (587pp) cars. Those of us who did a test'n'tune last week will be well ready for the race night in these cars.

The Car(s)
GroupB - Get one sorted! There are a few lists floating around, so ensure you're not doubling up with another racer, but I think we'll be fine.

GT590/4 - Question here is if the Honda will be as dominant. I'll be in an NSX I think, it's reasonably stable and just about the only thing that'll keep up with the Weismann.

Exotique - As we found out last week, ballistic fast (as fast as the GT590's in fact) but not able to stop in any measurable way. So find a car that'll crank it's way around Le Mans, which thankfully doesn't require more than four heavy breaking zones.
