See you!

This is discuss to warm the old format and the date for it. Seems like there is no other major cups on sight / ongoing for now, we could go test for the new balanced defaults cars and have some serious driving on them.

In.

Probably both in old IRT format is fine.

Except to you.

Anyway, it sounds interesting and my ass will be in. But, would it be better to use new default cars, edited by Tijny?

Random or reversed i would go. It was perhaps fastest lap order, reversed order would be really interesting.

There is will be half hour warmup before the cup, short races like 4 laps. Should car selection be open so players have time to get in touch with each car.

would it be better to use new default cars, edited by Tijny?

Yes that's the idea to have them try. These cars balancing seems promising. Well, the track maker has "small" advantage had just to go for quick test racing and 10 laps would be better than 12 laps, 8 laps would be too less. With these new balanced cars it is ~6min per race. Another idea is to use fixed time to 8min, in this case if we're about to use the track i created takes ~35sec per lap on the best car, there would be 14 laps races. In one hour the cup can be completed.
