    I've been out of action for a while with work commitments, but since things have cleared up a little bit, it's time for a new series.
    The FT-1 VGT car is a joy to drive, so a series using it was a no-brainer for me. The car can't be tuned or parts added either which means it's all down to the driver.

    Seeing as the FT-1 is pretty quick and handles well, I'd say some of the real world GP style circuits will appear, as well as some GT originals.
    Ideally, races will be grand prix length (approx 300kms) but may change this to be half length depending on how people feel about it. 50-odd laps of Suzuka does take it out of you, but I'll leave that up in the air for now.

    Off the top of my head, a track list may include:
    Spa, Silverstone GP, Suzuka, Trial Mountain, Nurburgring GP, Midfield, Sierra, Fuji GP, Monza, Brands Hatch, Motegi, Daytona Road...

    5 rounds should be plenty, but will leave that open as well.
    In the spirit of community involvement and development, please throw your ideas at me so we can make this a really fun series. I'd like to try and get as many people as possible to race every round, so if you're keen but something doesn't tickle your fancy, let me know and we might be able to tweak it.
    I'm not going to set any times or anything yet as that will form part of the development here in the ROOZ community.

    So get cracking ROOZers, hit me with your ideas about tracks, settings, weather, dates and times etc.
    Sounds like changeable weather and time progression will be included somewhere...

    Register your interest!

    It is one of the best cars in the game, sounds epic and drives like a dream, really rewards you when you attack... Sierra FTW!

    Absolutely. I was using it last night and it just monsters any track. Engine is so driveable and it's so stable under brakes. A car that anyone of any skill level can really push.

    in please. An idea for weather is check the real world location and simulate the conditions on race day/night. Most track web sites have a weather link on them. I use this for my HTO series
