OZFM Nascar

The cars are literally a brick on wheels to start . Just adding mortar

Count me in! I loved doing A.R.S.E last time. I'll never forget Dazza gently and skillfully ramming me from behind at benchmark oval. Back then we all ran the same car (Chevy I think) with the same tune - it worked well I thought.

I don't mind the idea of running with 100% aero so we can have le tyre wear. The only problem I can see is cars tend to be pretty unpredictable with full aero damage. They seem to just lose rear grip in the blink of an eye in the middle of a corner. Have you tested them with full aero damage, Dektra?

Just my thoughts, I'll show up and race no matter what the rules and regs are though.  

think we worked out that those who could bump draft (yes you can do it without wrecking) down the straights could pick up an extra 20-25 kmh using the technique.
think Clarko and I used this to great advantage on the arse series.
..and please remember the C.O.C and A.R.S.E work very closely together so if you arent careful with your preparation it can get very messy!

Have not tested it yet. Might do a little after the OSTC tonight.

High speed corners, drag tires and 100% damage to aero?

Why do you need to have drag tires? Just have a mandatory pit stop with in a window. That way those who use a wheel will not have an advantage over those using a controller. Set cosmetic damage, and allow for bump drafting for those able to do so.

Just my 2 cents.

Good points Daz, went for a run with Clarkson and Recoil tonight in the Aero Drag settings and they still ran fairly well, provided we didn't decide to go 'MURICA on each other.

Recoil brought up competition cautions as an option if there are major blow outs, and these could be used up to, and including the 4th last lap (Last three laps are boogedy/boogedy/boogedy)
Intentional derps will be penalised somehow. maybe we blow up their car or something.
