    Dream Racing Series

    Alright. If you had the choice to make the greatest racing series ever, how would it work out? It can be anything from rally to open wheel, stock cars to GT's. Mix and match as you please.

    collect all the ricers in the world and watch them attempt to race/drift around a circuit
    i think it'd be hilarious
    EDIT: for a real laugh, give them all nitrous

    I was thinking of a FIA Formula Dorifto Championship, where F1s would be specially tuned for drifting in all conditions, that includes rally.
    The Ace of All Aces.

    Crysis. Maximum Game.

    stock cars are permited to 15,000 in upgrades of their choice-there are A, B, and C classes. dirty racing is permited, races on road courses/rallycross circuts/4 cars on a drag strip at once-up to 100cars all in one class

    super minivan racing series; munivans are tuned to the outright extreme and race neck and neck at 180mph using jet plane technology and the latest in DVD entertainment-races on roadcourses only
    Don't bother me, I'm probably working while posting...

    Sportscars:

    3 classes-T, GT, GTP
    T (Touring)- at least 3000 identical examples must be produced
    GT- (Grand Touring)- at least 200 identical examples must be produced
    GTP- (Grand Touring Prototype)- at least 10 identical examples be produced

    All cars must be road legal.
    Each car is inspected to meet local road regualtions for the city of each track.

    No car may be modified at all after initial production.
    Only regular maintenance parts may be replaced. Examples:
    -Tires
    -Belts
    -Hoses
    -Filters
    -Fluids

    No additional "safety" modifications allowed. However, manufacturers are encouraged to include such features in initial production. Examples:
    -Stronger Passenger Structures
    -Multiple Point Seat Harnesses
    (Of course, drivers must still wear a helmet, fireproof suit, HANS, etc.)

    For each car, the number of pit crew members "over the wall" may not exceed the amount of seats in the car. Of course, should the driver bring the car into the garage, an unlimited number of mechanics may work on the car.


    I think this would be a nice way to bring a sense of purity back to the sport. It would keep costs down.
    Also, it puts pressure on the car company to make a race-ready, yet road-legal car from the factory.

    It's called the Tour Auto, and it's an annual event.
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    I'd like to make a series that emphasises on the following principles

    - Single Seater
    - Carbon chassis around 400 kg
    - Use of downforce with implementation of Ground Effects without restriction, as well
    as Front and Rear Wings
    - Horsepower around 200 bhp using a 'Busa engine

    This way the emphasis would be on

    - High cornering speeds
    - Overtaking, as cars aren't dependent on front wings that much
    - Slow speeds in the straights, as the car is low-powered

    #1.Clown car racing.
    Qualifying is seeing how many clowns they can fit in their small little car.
    + you get to start at the top of the pack
    - Your heavier
    Then when there is a wreck the clown ambulance drives out and they pick up the bodies while doing some comedy routine of putting them on cloth stretchers and avoiding the other race cars.

    #2. Not really a dream racing series but just once id like to see a formula 1 car in a nascar race and kick butt. Of course "rubbing is racing" would not apply and bumping or even trying to touch the F1 car would result in harsh punishment, possibly jail time.

    A real International Race of Champions series. Invite only. The best of the best. Put them in a control car to keep the field level. Something powerful, RWD, decent weight. Maybe M3's. Maybe GTO's. Maybe Ferraris. Maybe alternate for different circuits. Then make them run road and street circuits across the world.

    36 races, all across the world, most of the F1 courses, plus Indy and Daytona ovals, 4 of them would be rallies, a drag, and a drift.

    -Cars would be single seater, open wheel, (fenders over wheels only are ok, but control arms must be exposed) and can be powered by any engine, as long as it is in a production car that has sold over 1000 units. It can be a LanEvo's 4, a 430's V-8, an LS6...., a Chrysler HEMI, Porsche flat-6, a VW W engine, whatever
    -car can't show sponsors that don't have to do with the car itself (unless the can san run on Pepsi or Budweiser.....)
    -single-deck front and rear spoilers provided by race inspection to cut down on dirty air
