    Just curious to know if Suzuka was used in Season 1. I never participated in that particular track with GTLOZ. (Only Figjam during Prologue, and he probably doesn't even remember kicking my ass).

    im all new to this online racing stuff, so i just happy with putting my foot down and trying to get my arse around the track faster then every1 else lol. on a serious note; 7 races is good. as for the race length sprints and medium are great it keeps the blood runnig, but i do think that the season should have a mix of all races. maybe an enduro at the end or med way through the season will mix things up 4 all. and bonus points for people that start and finish evey race is good but not fair i think, as live can get in the way of hobbies such as online racing. the drop a round rule i'm 50/50 on my thinking, if ur going to comitt to something u should make sure that u can hold that comittment. ENOUGH TALK FROM ME LETS RACE !!!!

    Haha nice attitude aussie_man!

    Last season we had one enduro at the end, the season before we had two enduro's midway and close to the end.
    Going by the votes we'll probably have one enduro this season.

    yer enough from you Aussie back in ya box, lol. The mix of races we have had in the past has been good you will like it, the dropa round is good for those disconnection moments (know them?) and that thing you call life, most have to deal with one of them throughout the season, so it fair to most. As for points i think we have addressed the reverse round points and all others will be as normal for now, so no extra for just turning up yet.
    Might be on over the weekend to test out some of the suggested tracks be good to get a few in to do this promo video.

    Yea I think we can confidently go ahead with the promo. I'm going to close the Car Poll soon, and I doubt it's going to swing by 5 votes in that time...

    Yar, definately was. It was the 2nd race if i'm not mistaken. I remember it well as I remember someone doing a late dive into the pits and smacking straight into the dividing wall head on.

    You used to drive the corvette and i'd use the the Ford GT. Usually around Suzuka and i'd always struggle to get a win against you. You were always clean. I never had the wheel at the time. Having guys beat me all the time made me realise I'd have to get a wheel to compete on even grounds. There was a guy called Elroy in your friends list who I work with who also raced you. Small world.

    Ahh yeah, it's coming back to me now. Too many shandies without lemonade since then. Actually was that Suzuka or Fuji?

    I'm not beating too many drivers anymore lol.

    Say g'day to Elroy for me, haven't seen him online for ages.

    Now that the car's been sorted, track's can be tested. I'd say it will be finalised this week mate.
    I think Outta's working on it and will announce the Season 5 calender soon.

    I did a tally of the track nominations. Including your latest votes dougz here's the track rankings.. pending testing for suitability (for instance you might find even though it got a few votes, lemans is a bit long and boring given the terminal speed of the G37)

    1. Suzuka x6 (used only once before)[/*]
    2. Indy Road x5 (never used before)[/*]
    3. Daytona Road x5 (never used before)[/*]
    4. Monaco [cote de azure] x5 (used only once before)[/*]
    5. Monza x4 (incl 1x wet vote)[/*]
    6. Lemans [Circ de la Sarth] x4 (never used before)[/*]
    7. Fuji x4 (used only once before)[/*]
    8. Cape Ring x4 (only south variant used once before)[/*]
    9. Tsukuba x4[/*]
    10. Autumn Ring Full x3[/*]
    11. Laguna Seca x3[/*]
    12. Nurburg GP/D x2[/*]
    13. Rome x2[/*]
    14. Tokyo x2[/*]
    15. Deep Forest x2 (used alot!)[/*]
    16. Madrid x1[/*]

    i agree with that KoAStR. the G37 takes forever to get to top speed. i was stuffing around lastight on all the tracks, and found the G37 was more suited to medium sized tracks with a medium to longish straight. but also due to the gear ratio in the G37 it tends to either be slow out of sum corner and abit arse happy out of other. so pending on tracks this season it either going to abit boring or tight as hell. whatever the out on track selection it going to interesting to see how it goes. As i'm put in alot time and effort with trying to getting up to pace, just hope i'm up the pointy end of the field this season as it's my first.

    Aussie, based on how you went against MIKI around cote d'azur you will be fine, handing a few of us our asses!! He was scratching his head last night how to make up the sec and a half you had over him !!!

    Spent some time with Miki and Koaster last night around Rome, Cote and Monza, i agree that medium tracks would suit the best....The slip stream wasnt as big as the mclaren so with the car being relatively slow if you get a gap it is hard to track down the front runners, or maybe that was just my lack of talent coming to the fore again !!!

    And veno, you will be pleased to know that last night i continued with my 1 crash per race from a good position, which like last season stuffed everything up for me. Lots of work to do me thinks.

    Will be on tonight from about 10 if anyone keen to join

    Cheers
    Stu

    And I'll be counting on you having at least one off per race next season too Stu. Pretend your kids are in the back seat. It helps me!

    Outta's gonna have the track schedule finalised pretty soon.

    We're looking at shifting the practise/qual/race time from the current 10/20/30-35min split to 10/10/40-45mins.
    I've adjusted the Division X Race information threads, and the number of laps for the calender will be set accordingly.

    Also looking at no mid-season break.
