XR GT (not the turbo) at Aston Cadet
UF GTR @ aston Cadet
FZ50 @ Fern bay Club
MRT5 @ a ROC like competition, but no jump; 2 mirrored tracks would be better i think
FOX at Kyoto long
XR GTR @ Aston Historic

I think weight ballast have been discussed before and turned down.
It has been considered very difficult to work out, frustrating for the top pilots, uneducationnal for the slower drivers, and I am not sure we can at this point force a car to carry the given weight.
if the admins cannot check the onboard ballast, you can imagine how quickly the rule will be flushed down the toilets by some people more interested in score than fairplay.
any other combo? or should we proceed and call season 6 "the towzt edition" ?!

they can; if you follow a car and press F11 you can see their handicaps (weight or air intake restriction)
I haven't driven al these combo's yet; but they seem like fun 
Also, you can make your own track for the MRTs, like a small track lots of sharp corners, (what the cart is made for )

my favorite cars are: FXR, MRT, FBM, FOX and BF1
my favorite tracks are: Aston National (esp. with the BF1), Kyoto GP long, Westhill (but had already), FE green Rev
also an option:
South City Chicane (I think we never had)
But a racer in a league has to take what the admins choose and learn to arrange with that combo, so this is the real challenge!

I think a small selfmade track would be fun;
, but at the other side, if you crash, the race is over with those tracks on autocross.
Fox on as club is a nice combo for me.
And a MRT race would also be nice (some short track like FE Club, or AS Cadet). Something else also, like a rally (didn't that do here before?).

Hi admins
first of all happy new year to all of you
i think of the follow things for season 6, why we can't drive a whole season with the standard setup on every car or track? i know for sure that only a good setup gives the gap between the faster and the slower drivers.I should give it a try

I only have setups from Setupgrid and Setupfield.
Making a own setup is to much work 
And if the setup is very bad, i search for a other one.

I'm sorry but I am not convinced that this is a very good idea.
first, as you know it (remember the ROC race?  ) the admins canno't force a driver to use the default set and you're all a bunch of dirty cheaters  .
secundamento, I think a good set up can minimize the difference between a motivated average driver and a fast driver with a common set.
third, we all have different hardwares, some use g25's, some use cheap wheels, some use joysticks or paddles. adjusting the set to one particular form of hadware can make it easier for some drivers who are "slower" partly because of less advanced material.
just my opinion of course, but thank you for your suggestion.

That's very true. A good setup does make a difference in your lap times. But it would also level the field if we used the default setup in lfs. One question though, how do you force everyone to use the default setup without using some sort of insim app? As Xtian pointed out, it didn't work during the last ROC when we(admins) asked that everyone use the default setup.
