Voting

Where shoulc the series be based?

A) Europe 31.83%
Outteridge Motorsport, Commonwealth Group, Pegasus Racing Group, Equipe Gauthier, Rob Lomas Racing, Kellog's All-Bran EuroBran Racing, GB Racing
B) North America 38.60%
Unity Racing Services, Riccetti Competition, Blokkmonsta Motorsport, Team New Zealand, Équipe Bernard Leclercq, Bamboo Grand Prix
C) South America 9.03%
El Cartel Suramérica
D) Africa 0%
E) Australia 0%
F) Asia 9.24%
Tassie Racing, Australian Racing Academy, JLD Motorsport

That's the result of the voting. North America has the lead, but not over 50%. South America has had the fewest votes(except Africa and australia of course) and will be eliminated. The second choice of ECS was Asia. With now 18.27% Asia is still on last place and will be eliminated.
TR's seconds choice: North America
ARA's second choice: Europe
JLD's second choice: Australia(isn't available anymore) but luckily they already set Europe as there 3rd choice.
ECS had no 3rd choice.
New Result:
Europe: 35.93%
North America: 43.74%

In theory Europe is still able to win, but only if ESC AND the 2 teams who failed to vote would vote for Europe. Therefore i will reopen Voting until tomorow afternoon. Only ESC and the 2 teams who didn't voted can choose between Europe and North America. The option which has more votes after that will be choosen(even if they don't have over 50%).

EDIT: Voting is closed again. As nobody has voted, Community Racing Series will be based at North America. The Teams Firenze and Motorsport Racing already have got an strike because they failed to vote.

New discussion:

What are we going to race?

A) Touring Cars(road and/or oval)
B) open wheel Cars(road an/or oval)
C) Trucks(road and/or oval)
D) Rallycross
E) Drag Racing
F) GT/Endurance racing

I'll give you some time to discuss this new question.

go_Rubens · Post by **go_Rubens** » 03 Mar 2014, 21:05

I'd be fine with open wheel, GT/Endurance racing, or touring car racing. However, I wonder what the costs of open wheel and GT cars would be like in respect to our prices.

UncreativeUsername37 · Post by **UncreativeUsername37** » 03 Mar 2014, 21:12

Outterridge support touring cars for the same reason as the last series: they're cheap and people care about them, a combination none of the others have. We also support an all road course series.

go_Rubens · Post by **go_Rubens** » 03 Mar 2014, 21:23

I never read into the previously planned series apparently. So, I change my vote for touring cars. Although I wouldn't mind a short oval race like Martinsville. Maybe Milwaukee. So, I think we can run a few oval races, but the tracks have to be pretty flat. Although an all road course touring car series is a great idea for North America as a base because we have no domestic touring car championship in North America. Or at least the USA as far as I'm aware.

Wallio · Post by **Wallio** » 03 Mar 2014, 21:27

Riccetti Competition votes for drag racing (our bread and butter) with GT Enduro as our second choice.

V8fan12 · Post by **V8fan12** » 03 Mar 2014, 21:40

Team New Zealand would support Touring Cars or GT/Endurance Racing.

roblo97 · Post by **roblo97** » 03 Mar 2014, 21:52

Rob Lomas Racing would like single seaters as our first choice with shilouette style touring cars as our second choice on a calender made up of road courses but with a special 1000 lap race at Bristol Motor Speedway. That race would still be 500 miles as well

Hermann95 · Post by **Hermann95** » 03 Mar 2014, 22:06

Voting is not open yet. We have already some interesting theories.
About the price:
It really depends on the cars we choose. Single seaters could be cheap but would be pretty far fown the order, otherwise they would be expensive.
GT won't be really cheap, but there would probably be a good chance of factory support.
Touring cars can offer good power for lower costs but it depends again on the specs we choose.

AustralianStig · Post by **AustralianStig** » 04 Mar 2014, 01:45

Australian Racing Academy urges all teams to vote for single-seaters eventually going for SuperKart specs. As someone once said, because SuperKarts!

But in all seriousness, they are cheap, fast and extremely entertaining. They also give young drivers a chance to compete on an international stage...what's not to like?

CaptainGetz12 · Post by **CaptainGetz12** » 04 Mar 2014, 02:12

Blokkmonsta wants to keep the series cheap and expanding to venues that arent that common in North America, so we lean towards Touring Cars of Open Wheelers.

However, we are unsure on whether to choose between ovals or road courses. Maybe have both?

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 04 Mar 2014, 05:41

JLD has come up with the solution to everyone's car problems: The MARC GTC V8.

As a purpose-built racing car based on a combination of V8 Supercar and V8 SuperTourers architecture, it is equally capable of doing both Touring Car-style sprint races, and GT endurance events with high reliability and a good turn of speed. It is essentially a stock rolling chassis which can be fitted with virtually any race-spec V8 engine, and can run with body panels from virtually any small and medium-sized car you can think of, all at the build cost of approximately $100 000AUD per car. As a result, we believe that it's the perfect blend of performance, cost, reliability and appeal for our new series.

Damn, these sound like fun. Especially with a 1000hp twin turbo V8 :lol:

Its only £37,100 as well

On a different note, has anyone thought of D sport racers? They are cheap and hugley quick.

Gauthier is in favour of this. Because ANYTHING other than SuperKarts.

I probably should have clarified that it's virtually any race-spec naturally-aspirated V8 engine. Besides, the 1000bhp spec engine's only good for speed record attempts. And the cost you calculated was almost £6,000 too high anyway :lol:

Commonwealth would like to express its enthusiasm and support for a prospective adoption of the MARC GTC platform.

The guy in the video also said that you can fit possibly any engine in this car. He mantioned f.e. turbo engines anf rotary engines!

He did? In which case, I'll take my Reject of the Thread award now :oops:

But still, putting an engine designed for land speed records in a racing car is a daft idea in our estimation.
