Discuss your idea's for a new series here

Well I wanted to, but my poor little Alfa got so few votes I wasn't sure if I was even allowed anymore, I don't know, lol. I might throw some more one-make vintage car proposals up onto the voting page later if I get a chance to score some footage of me driving them this weekend.

 

I think this is a great suggestion @Maxime Tendil. It allows for more granular voting and better captures one's preferences.
I'd suggest a modification (if it was not too complicated to be handled for those counting the votes)..
Adding:
"Winner" = "From all the mods I like, this is the one I'd choose if I had to pick up one!" = +3 points (With only on Winner per driver allowed)

LOL, I hope we are not getting too complicated. Otherwise, this will end up like the US Elections

 

Let's make a voting thread to know if people are ok with the fact they could vote for my post to know if we change the way we're voting to know the series we're gonna make !

 

Good idea Jos, I modify my post right now.

 

To be honest I voted "Disagree" with it because the car is pretty slow, I mean too slow I'm afraid. But the mod looks to be of very good quality, apart from the gearbox handling, which seems very very forgiving once again unfortunately. I've questionned the author to know what are his thoughts on this topic, but no answer so far. Is it supposed to be dogbox in it ? If so, then shouldn't the driver at least rev match correctly in order not to damage the gearbox ?
I'm not aknowledged onto this car, feel free to explain me Ted, or Tim or anyone in 3 letters beginnig by a "T"..

 

It would have either had Syncrons or straight-cut gears (Not dogs) requiring a double-declutch, given how old it is. so yeah if the gearbox is too forgiving, that may be an issue in how it drives. There are similar one-make vintage cars available that are a bit quicker but still beginner-friendly I might go scrounge up and also suggest. I'm glad you liked the quality of it, at least.

 

Good idea Maxime, except maybe its better that we don't use "winner" vote at all, JvdG has hell of a job to check that those are not used more than once, in a other hand, he has 3 MONTHS to do so...

 

Synchros in the "civil" car perhaps, but not even sure about all gears. I imagine more likely a full straight-cut gearbox in this racing version at the most ? Still it pretty surely would require a precise handling with a rather close rev-matching, don't you think ?

 

Yes, I was asking this myself also, though we all are civilized people who can keep it within the rules I guess.. Let's John tell us what he would accept/prefer and I will update the post as needed. (or he can do so directly).

 

Thanks, John. I'm adding here a video of the GT1 1997 mod. I'm testing the BOP. So far, the McLaren seems to be a notch up when compared to the Panoz (the other one I've tried) but this is just after very limited testing...

 

Just had a go in them - definite no from me.
Dodgy feedback and models, and unnatural behavior when the grip lets go in several of the cars I tried. I kept meaning to check what tire model is being used as it doesn't feel like V10.
Once on the limit of grip the Kunos version of the 911 is night and day better.

Which mod Tim?

 

the '97 GT1 mod.
Given it's the same guy, I'm pleasantly surprised by the CanAm stuff I've got through so far - I'm not convinced it's accurate (I'd need to annoy a chap I know across town to find out on early 60's CanAm handling, he was racing an M1b not all that long ago ) but it at least feels nice and is good fun.

I've just taken an RSS GT1 out afterwards, had to stop but I didn't really want to - when I tried the Toyota GT1 from the link above earlier, I got far enough to feel the FFB and then parked up before I'd even done a timed lap!
