My last testing and then the subsequent Sports Car GP were at Fuji, but the track was run in a clockwise direction. The reason that banking was so horrific, was that at the end of the straight we went over a blind crest at around 190/200 mph and dropped into the banking. At other tracks (Daytona, Monthlery, etc.) you climb up the banking. One of the results was that although there were many brave Japanese drivers there were not too many with great skill and the death toll from that one corner was horrendous. To such an extent that the big Gp 7 cars were then banned in Japan and thus, neither Nissan or Toyota ever made it to CanAm."

They're already taken, but you can have Ian Raby Racing.

You do mean 1959 right

I don't know who should have the team, but I have a solution: one of you takes IRR, and I'll create a similar team for the other, but I don't know who should have which team, then

DeletrazFTW wrote:I´ve decided to let tommykl take IRR since he technically picked it first, but V8fan can have another team, Scuderia Scribante, with exactly the same stats as IRR.
