V8 Supersedans
https://ozfm.darkbb.com/t4382-fm5-v8-supersedans-idea-builds-added

Same but different (working name)
Multiclass series with 2 different models of the same or similar car (i.e Nissan R32 GT-R and Nissan R34 GT-R, Toyota 86 and Toyota Sprinter)
Full tuning class(A) and limited tuning class(B)
2 races per round, 1st race half the field racing class A, half racing class B, swap classes for 2nd race

JGTC
R34 GT-R (RWD), Toyota Supra, Honda NSX
Full Tuning, Built to high A/low S

Group A Touring Cars
BMW E30 M3, Merc 190E, Nissan R32 GT-R, Ford Sierra Cosworth, Mazda RX-7, Toyota Supra, Toyota Sprinter and a few others. Limited tuning, Built somewhere in B class

DTM
BMW M3, Audi RS5 (RWD), Merc C63
Full Tuning, High A/Mid S class

Modern Muscle
Ford GT500, Chevy Camaro, Dodge Challenger.

1970's F1:
Ferrari 312 T2
Mclaren M23
Stock Tune
tracks:
Spa, Silverstone, Indy GP, Le Mans, Catalunya

honestly the modern muscle should have the charger over the challenger. more even against the GT and camaro wouldnt it?

Actually maybe replacing it with the Caddy may be the way to go on that one. The only two of those ideas I've given proper thought to are Supersedans and Same but Different series. But I think all of those could work with a little work

Yeah just a little idea brainstorm could have a think about

These are all good ideas man. I'll help you put some of it together over the next few weeks. The imports will be tough to get them to a decent level of parity

Also. BTCC/Super 2000, 1.6L tourers, I have a few other things written down at home but can't think of them right now.

Sorry about the triple post.
FWD cars struggle when they go above 230kw as a heads up.

JGTC I had some specs built up in FM4. I'll try and track them down this coming week. I think I used lobby power restrictions.

Group A is always popular so need a lot of testing done on those as there will be some super critical people who will be interested.

Investigate the transits a bit as a one make. They race them in Europe I believe

Yeah I was thinking reducing the amount of imports to use but at the time I just wrote down all the ones for the hell of it.

With the JTGC we can just engine swap to V8s which is how the cars were in real life I believe. Negates the need for power restrictions!

Super GT it's V8's, with the NSX an exception. I'd have to look up the old JGTC regs.

Got your fishing hat on hey? That's an obvious dig at anyone who believes everyone should get a fair go in equal cars... And anyone who's given you a hard time about it once, twice, maybe three times in the past?

Uh ohhh did this fish just get caught? Just keep swimming, just keep swimming...

I think with JGTC only weight and horsepower limits applied. There was also a handicap system with extra weight applied as well. I think that the R34 used a I6, the NSX a V6 and the supra a I4. Converting them to V8s may not be exactly as how they are but it could save parity headaches down the track, this would be how I would run it if I was running it. Also forgot to mention that the 350Z was also eligible for that series

While we have less cars to use and an inability to save lobby setups (has this been fixed? Have not checked) any multi car series will be a challenge to set up. All I can say is test, test and test! Post your ideas but make sure it all works before it goes live.

We do have heaps more conversion options this time around. All production cars can be swapped to RWD or AWD and then we have the selection of engine swaps.

Caterham R500's for a one make series perhaps?

DLC kind of minimises numbers though...

Ah yeah, dammit...  Cool car though.  

Is it one of the free ones they give out when the packs release? They still do that?

The current VIP Rivals uses the Caterham, a couple of Lotus's and the XBow. Get them all running pretty close or open to any A class build/tune.

Yeah could have a like caterham vs x-bow o. Something like that. Would be fun. Like fun cars to.use together in a round

I've noticed that the slower the cars are the closer the racing is so maybe D class cars and it's also really fun to drive slow cars.

I have a build ready for a spec racing filler series if a filler is needed, it's smack bang in the middle of A class. Is also limited tuning (only tires, final drive, ARBs, breaks and diff.

I like limited tuning as I cannot.tune any cars lol

Subaru Vs Mitsubishi has always been a fun series, could maybe add in Nissan and Toyota.

Small AWD cars on tight tracks.

I call that jap icons lol
