    I don't have a clue how this will work, so far haven't put much thought into it but it was just an idea that popped up into my head and i wanted to see what the reaction would be like.
    Basically it would be a PP limited event and you can compete in whatever is your favorite car in GT6. It can me Tuned and modified however you like. I will set a laptime around a few circuits in my 3 Favourite cars, limit them to 450pp and average the laptimes. That laptime is what if possible, you tune your car to achieve so this can still be a close event. If anyone has a better idea please post it below because at the moment i am simply throwing ideas around.

    Hmmmmm. Sounds interesting. I like the idea of multi-car racing. Sounds like some mucking about though sorting out tuning. Maybe set the pp then set a max speed for the circuit so they are even-ish? Unfortunately though there will always be a car that blitzes the rest because of weight or torque. Maybe a multi circuit championship to show the different advantages of the different cars?

    Some ideas maybe?

    How about running short races reverse grid, then allow the bottom half finishes the option to chance their car, but only allow one of each car.
    You can go further and force the winner or podium to change to another car also.
    If you are worried about attendance from lower divs, then try the tire compound rule
    ie
    div1-2 hards
    3-4 meds
    5-6 softs

    Thats something i hadn't considered with the Max speed, i will include that if this goes ahead, yeah there will always be one car but this is more so about showing off your favourite car and having a scrap while your at it. Yes the circuits will be massively changed up :)
    Love that rule of the Division system, i think that could work well, but then again a Div 1 Alien's car may not be as fast as a Div 6 drivers, so an added penalty of grip reduction will hurt them further :/

    I had thought about something similar to this but with only road cars and no concepts etc
    In my experience, the faster drivers often have more practice/testing time up their sleeves, hence why they are so fast compared to say a casual div 6. IMO you want the lower div guys up front winning races, I wonder if any of the faster guys get tired of leading the pack and want a good challenge every now and then?

    Well usually when I ever end up in front of MINT, Rotor, Warrior or Dan I wonder, how the hell is this happening? And then I make some stupid mistake and let them through lol

    Definitley worth giving Div 6'rs a stronger car, to the point that an alien such as MINT must be on the limit to challenge for victory.

    I think the basics are there, what you need now is some div 1 guys cutting laps around the tracks at a set pp so we've got a baseline to work off. Once we get that, then we can muck around with tyres/increasing pp levels for lower divs.

    What tracks are we to test on?
    Keep in mind to that some cars' PP's are very inaccurate, I've found some VGT's are overwhelmed against cars of the same PP, and others vice versa. Perhaps some cars like the 2J, Suzuki GSX and others that dominate PP races and seasonal TT's should be banned.

    I imagine most peoples favorite cars would be Road Cars anyway, but yes i will definatley ban them. In terms of Circuits, at the moment i am thinking of Autumn Ring Long, SSR5 and Nurburgring GP/D i believe it is called. They are the ones i shall be getting my laps done at. Thanks for the help though guys :)

    What about limiting it to 4 seater or even 4 doors. There are a lot of RWD four door cars around the 500 PP mark and some others (AKA Commodore) than can be easily brought up to 500PP. I've often thought that PP limits for each division is a good idea. Mustafur did that with BMW M3s once and it was very good.
