    1950s World Sportscar Championship (Testing)

    Spent some time today working on a series idea I have...

    1950s World Sportscar Championship

    Cars:
    Aston Martin DBR1
    Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa
    Jaguar D-Type
    Maserati 300S
    Mercedez 300SLR

    Tracks:
    Le Mans Old Mulsanne (1/2 Day, 1/2 Night)
    Nordschleife
    Sebring Full
    Monza Full Alt
    Spa (possibly wet)
    Daytona Sports Car Circuit (1/2 Day, 1/2 Night)

    The Build:
    B600
    325hp Max

    Parts: (Any parts not listed have no restrictions)
    Engine - Open Build
    Platform / Handling - Stock brakes, Race Springs, Race Dampers, Full Roll Cage
    Drivetrain - Sport Transmission, Race Differential
    Tires - Street Compound, Tire Width Changes Allowed, No Rim Modification Allowed
    Aero - No Aero Allowed
    Conversions - No Conversions Allowed

    So far my testing has turned out pretty well, once built up to B600 and considering the 325hp limit, they are all within less than a second of each other based on my driving ability. I'd love to do some further testing, as there is a small amount of variability when considering engine and tire width upgrades. The cars feel well balanced, and with open tuning, should feel comfortable to everyone. The engines all sound good, and the cockpit views are god-damned glorious.

    Perhaps once we are done with the loud and brash Trans-Am series, we can race like the classy distinguished gentlemen we all wish we were.

      I don't know about slowing down, those cars are probably 800-1000lbs lighter than the Trans Am spec and in the same PI class.

      I assume you mean Nordschleife? Is there the possibility of rain at any of these tracks?

      So no rim modification? Does that mean stock width too?

      I'll have to build a few and check them out.

      Yeah, by Nurburgring I mean Nordschleife, I'll make the change. Rain might be a thing, not too sure, although I'm thinking splitting up the Le Mans and Daytona races in half to have both day and night versions, as those were 24h races back in the day.

      tire width changes are allowed, and are in fact necessary to hit B600 with 325hp max.
