I don't think it should be a support series at all. They are good enough for standalone and they run times similar to v8's on most tracks

OK , the term support category may not be well worded.

The idea is to have a series that can be kept as a permanent event to run alongside the V8's, if we have something like this then both series can be run seperate and allow for the alternating weeks of Qualifying and racing.

So if you dont want to race the V8's you just do qualifying and come back next week

It's been a while since I've done one, but I'd be happy to get this up and going if there is still interest.

We might look at running it again.  Latt time we ended up doing it with drag tyres and had varying degrees of success.

I'll have something to show the administration by Saturday. I have most of it sorted but I need to check a few things. I'll put a tentative start date of last week of Feb.

I'm not racing if you're running drags. Its absolutely unnecessary to run with drags given the small number of laps you're running.

Still needed to make a pit stop to make it to the finish without crawling over the line, unless you managed to find some trick way of driving or tuning.

I prefer the FFs with race slicks

What are the drags actually like to race on? One of the things I don't like about Forza is the poor tyre degradation. Also I see nothing wrong with pit stops.

That said, I'm not going to alienate people by not listening to them. After all I'm setting this up for you guys as much as for me.

the drags did pretty good for these cars. when i ran the last series i had all sprint race lengths set as the life of the drag tyres + 1 lap and the enduros set as the life of 2 sets + 1 lap. It did work quite well as a bunch of guys were running different tyre strategies and set ups. That said I think the fact it was on drag tyres turned a lot of people off, so for simplicity i would suggest running the normal race tyres.

With these you can probobaly run the build stock + racediff
