sorry...

those tracks were just a simple list of ALL the aussie tracks. I did not mean to imply we should do them ALL. Just, say, the best 5.

So try them out and then maybe we can get a consensus on which 5.

for example I believe that the adelaide one is crap. as is surfers paradise.

No probs famin.
Really Pukekohe is a given, as well as Bathurst...so that leaves 3 - 4 tracks to pick. We can do some of the more popular GTR ones as well.
We could just the faster tracks like Watkins etc. As the cars would be fairly even, drafting would come into it on the longer straights.

If its aussie V8's then id rather do aussie tracks, given theyre up to scratch.

Latest version of V8 mod is at boomtown but you have to register.

The shorter season is a good idea to allow us to switch to something else.

But GTL may be a hassle because I'm guessing there's a huge difference between the car speeds so I'm guessing we'll get a lot of the same car. Which would be a shame really.

If you have a fixed setup, you're not going to get much better, because adjusting the setup to how you drive and understanding what parts of the setup affect what parts of the car's handling , are part of becoming a better driver.
Being able to drive around a track with a standard setup, and then knowing what parts of the setup to change to make it handle the way it should on a particular track, will make it much easier to be competitive with the faster drivers.

If we race V8's then there isn't much of the setup to change, but it still makes a difference.

I like the idea of dropping the worst race, it means you can miss a week and not be out of the league basically.

I wasnt thinking of myself but everyone in general and just as a suggestion
and also to see mre driver ability coming to the fore instead os setup ability,after what you stated why do we run fixed setups in nascar then???

um cant remember if it was some indians from canada used me as target practise with their arrows?
or Some silly Aussie thought I was a dart board?
or Some Iraqian flies pooped on me?
or trying to disguise myself and look manly for protection from the snake rogers of this world?

...or I am an open book with my past history detailed on my face for teaching youngsters what not to do

Um. I dunno... only you can answer that.
I've not been able to make up my mind as to whether is was you messing around in Photoshop or maybe you got hammered one night and stuck beer labels to your face.
Not like I'd know anything about that from personal experience.
