    With the 908 being confirmed as the new season car, please suggest any tracks you would like to see this season.

    is le sarthe the longest version? i am a bit undecided about long tracks for enduro after monza. i really struggled there.

    it is much longer than monza...but again has a lot of resting points with the straights (i hope...I haven't run it with the 908 so cannot comment on whether the bumps upset the car in a straight line)
    but with running a LMP car, it kinda suits to run it at that track

    La Sarthe is a formality really, the bumps do nothing to the car as after all, this is the track it was built for...

    I'll chuck out some suggestions for the sake of it.....
    1) Midfield raceway
    2) Red Bull Ring
    3) Daytona Road
    4) A decent track editor track

    Nope. A car like the 908 is very limited in terms of what tracks will suit it. The tracks that you propose + Monza would be the first tracks that come to mind for many. I was just trying to show that there are viable alternatives that others may otherwise not consider.

    Also I assume that the order you have listed them is the order in which you intend them to be run and would recommend you switch fuji and nurb around as fuji and la sarthe are fairly similar in composition; long straights, sweeping bends and the odd chicane.

    I agree with this list. Plenty of good overtaking spots.

    That original list is a darn good track list for a series, I just need to stop sucking at a few of them.

    We ran some test laps/races at spa
    that race is going to require a great deal of concentration and patience...but it is doable and the low speed corner exits are not too bad if you get it straight before you plant it lol

    I'm happy with Hatfield's list, except I would prefer Daytona Road over Tokyo.

    Good list however I'd be happy to see Tokyo swapped out for Daytona Road. I think it would suit the car really well.

    I think it is important to have 1 street track round.

    Hey Hat, l like H.S.R. in there, but have you tested it in reverse?
    Exiting the tunnel seems pretty hairy in this car, blind turn in thru the glare will create quite a few 'incidents' I.m.o.
    Might be best to run in forward... Check it out.
    Cheers
