    Channeling a Touring Car Masters vibe, selecting older cars (>25 years) and around the 300hp mark, here's my $0.02 worth...
    • Shelby GT350 1965 (N300) - 100/100/RH
    • Jaguar E-Type (N300) - 100/100/RH
    • BMW M3 Sport Evolution (N200) - ~300HP/100/RH
    • Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II (N300) - 100/100/RH
    • Porsche 911 Turbo 1981 (N300) - 100/100/RH
    I've stuck to RH to make them challenging yet driveable by the less experienced/talented amongst us.
    My two roughies would be..
    • Mini Cooper 'S' 1965 (N100) - ~130HP/100/SS
    • Mercedes-Benz SEL 6.8 AMG 1971 (Gr.X) - 100/100/RH

    I think it’s about time we use a road car, considering we haven’t really had a proper road going car since we started GT Sport.

    I’ll again barrack for the Lexus LC500 - bloody love that thing. It’s fast, great for close door-to-door racing, and its gearbox is quick and doesn’t top out

    I'd like a good road car too. My pick is the GR Supra RZ 19, bit slower than the Lexus but moves around a bit more which makes it good fun to drive. While it moves around a fair bit it's very predictable so it's a car everyone can drive and have fun in.

    1. GR Supra RZ 19 SH (SM as an option if it must have a second compound but imo this car is at it's best on SH)
    2. Lexus LC500 SH/SM

    I think the idea of having the softer compound as a single use works well in the SPCC series and can't see why that wouldn't work here too, stops the pointless 1 lap on the harder compound strategy

    RX Vision would be great as a future season car. We used the SF19 a couple seasons ago

    Just a quick question. Will the races still be on Sunday nights or will it be changed to Saturday nights?

    I just thought about it since schools & that reopen in Feb here. I might not be able to race this season if the races start at like 8:30PM on Sundays. If they cannot be changed that's fine but yea that's what got me thinking about it.

    yeah races are 8:30 sundays finishing by about 9:30. if you are unsure if you can attend, you can switch to a reserve spot

    By front runner, The S800 is currently 6th in the standings.

    Really? Why?

    [I deleted a discussion about preferential voting systems that no one seems to appreciate]

    Basically, we excluded likes years ago on multiple car posts because of ambiguity, and the S800 is the highest single post car.

    EDIT: It's a clear front runner based upon the amount of times people are asking for a classic car, or a road car, or leeboy saying the classic JDM market, or sparklehead saying classic road car. So it'll get a poll at least so that's good.

    I don't believe that's how its been run as of late. The previous cars picked for season have been with likes included.

    My rough count is:
    LC500
    GT350
    1971 AMG
    GR Supra
    R32 GTR

    We had a few races in this last night and once we realised we could change the front/rear torque split it was a good fun car(too understeery and boring in it's default) but the DRS I think would be a pain, you end up needing to basically hold the DRS button for 95% of the race. I'm not sure that would be possible for anyone on a controller either
