It's time to look towards our next season. I want to keep the open wheel theme going strong and would like everyone to weigh in on a few options...here is what I was thinking.

2 different series, one running rFOWR 2.0 (will be named differently) which will be ran on 3 ovals and 1 road course.

The second series would be ran on the 1995 CART/Indycar series mod and will be ran on 3 road courses and 2 ovals.

The combination of these two series will give everyone their fix for what they want.

rFOWR 2.0 Series:
Indianapolis
Kentucky
Watkins Glen
Texas

CART Series:
Indianapolis
Laguna Seca
Long Beach
Riverside (Wasn't ran in 1995, but a very fun track)
Michigan

Each series would be ran on a day yet to be specified. Let me know what you guys think.

I'd like a mix of both... :) Either series, but a mix of ovals, road courses and street courses...2 of each... :)

I stink at road courses and not the best at ovals but ill rub fenders with all you guys. Wait no fenders. Lost connection at start of last race hoping for better results next time, sounds good JR. I like the champ cars

Each person has their preference, which is why I wanted to run 2 different series next season. However, the load it puts on me, it would only be a few races at a time. Maybe do a Monday night / Wednesday night setup or something. I like the CART just for the nostalgia (favorite time in CART)but I also prefer ovals and I haven't worked my arse off to not run the new Indycar mod once we are done, lol.

most definitely run your mod!!! Besides the getting up to speed dificulty, this has been my favorite mod on rfactor.

I have thought about it...the problem is cost of the server. It costs 30.00 a month for the server, so I am trying to keep the season as compact as possible.

As most of you can tell, I messed up and didn't realize S9 isn't even over yet. Essentially, take a few more weeks off, Gents. Will see you around the beginning of Oct.

Hopefully we will have a few fun runs set up between now and then.
