Bspec V 2.0:

RACE RULES:

Full Simulation Crash Damage and Tire Wear will be on. There is no specific trans. You can run Auto, Manual or Manual w/clutch. Manual w/clutch is recommended for quicker lap times. Please respect your fellow driver. If you question a move, like dive bombing someone going into 10A at Road Atlanta, potentially ruining both your and your opponent's race, don't do it. Don't cut track. We all blow a turn and push off, or brake/turn in early and hop a berm now and then, but if you can't cut a clean lap outside of qualifying, please don't bother running with our group. Proclaiming "On your inside" is no excuse for divebombing. Please don't cry when you get pinched. To put it simply: DON'T DRIVE LIKE AN A$$HOLE. All cars must display numbers corresponding to GRM Username and xbox live gamertag. Numbers are required on both sides of the car and roof or hood.

PRACTICE/QUALIFYING:

An "Official practice" will be held at (Time tbd) followed by a ten minute break, followed by qualifying.

For Qualifying, we will be using the "Time Trials" approach, where our times will not be affected by the draft and other cars in the way as they are invisible. It will be a 10 minute session. PAY ATTENTION TO WHERE YOU FINISH. Take note of who should be in front of/next to you on the start. There will be another 10 minute break between Qualifying and the feature race.

FEATURE RACE:

We will take the standing start lap as our "warm up" lap to warm tires and get gridded up in our qualifying positions. At the end of the standing start lap, the race will begin via a 2x2 rolling start. Odd numbers (position, not car number) will be on the OUTSIDE of the turn 1. Even numbers on the inside. He who has the pole will call "GREEN."

I am in for Saturdays since I currently have no life and football season is indeed upon us.

Yeah, but the football worth watching is on Saturdays. Lets run on Sunday evening.

Had fun running w/roadracedart last night! Hated to back out of the room, but I'm trying to get my sis in law into it, and she's embarrased to run with strangers. Anyway, she got frustrated after 3 or 4 races, and I was drunk and bored, so I started running with the general pop. I was doing really well with an underprepped car. Then we ran Sears Point, and HUGE sections of the track were just dissappearing on me; like everything went black (no, it wasn't the whiskey.) Anybody else experience this?

Sounds like you watch the pros instead of the college game.

EDIT: I could go for that, the car's already built. Probably be dropping in & out, though.

Thoughts? Suggestions? I think the Fit and 2 are pretty evenly matched as it is. I'd rather treat it like a sore dick.

Sound familiar? Saturday Nights starting 9/22. The fuhrer has spoken. Long live the fuhrer. I would like input on preferred starting time. I like 9PM eastern, but I'd be okay with later for the left coasters.

Saturdays after 6:30 Central. I'm in for whatever. Although, those commercials say to call a doctor if it lasts over four hours, poop.

Not starting until 11/22? Can we start a little sooner than almost 3 months from now?

So, are we B-Spec racing? I would really like to run a Yaris S if possible.

What about a "Super B" class? We could run more power (turbos?) and add downforce front and rear. Just a thought. Shoot for something like a 150-160 hp range at 2000-2100 lbs? 205 or 225 tires on 16 inch wheels. Like I said, it is just an idea. I am totally down for regular B-Spec.
