I say we pilot something that is very different from what we've ever done before. I can't think of a better option than the rotary powered, open-wheel formula car.
The Car:2015 Formula Mazda [S|715]
The Build:Race Clutch
Race Differential **added to build after first week of racing**
The Schedule: Wednesday 9pm CSTPractice Night----------------------------6/28/17Circuit De Catalunya National----12 Laps-----7/5/17Circuit Of The Americas West-----9 Laps-----7/12/17Hockenheimring Short----------14 Laps(x2)-----7/19/17Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca-----10 Laps(x2)-----7/26/17

Race Format:[P] 10 minute practice session if wanted.
[Q] 10 minute qualifying session.
[R1] ~15 minute race, grid determined by qualifying results.
[R2] ~15 minute race, grid determined by reverse order of [R1] results.
The Rules:No assists allowed.
Full tuning is allowed.
Pit-stops are allowed, but never mandatory.
Damage will be set to cosmetic, with fuel and tire wear on.
All cars must have the series number plate on both R/L sides of the car. (see "Number Plate" section below)
Track Limits:Every track in Forza has a solid line denoting the track limit. Almost always are the kerbs outside the track limit line. The golden rule is that at least 2 tires on the car must be on the track surface. Two example photos are shown, the first of acceptable cornering, and the second of track cutting.
ACCEPTABLE CORNERING: Two tires are still on the track surface
TRACK CUTTING: All four tires are off the track surface denoted by the solid white line
Number Plate:A specialized number plate has been made for the series. The plate needs to be visible on both R/L side-pods of the car.
(See images above for placement)
The large open space is for your race number. The small open space is for a sponsor decal.
The plate can be found in Forza by the username: "EXOR Popolac" with a tagline of F-MAZDA.
Points System:1st - 10 pts.
2nd - 8 pts.
