Yeah, but I didnt know smitty was gonna send a Turbolence.

He sent a box-o-cars.
Surely two of them are legal, although we do have to watch Smitty sometimes!

Well, he sent 6 cars. 1 is OK, 2 are too heavy, 1 had an axle bend on the first run on the track, and 1 ended up on my team.(don't ask.) The F50 will be a replacement for the Turbolence, even though it's mine. Hey, it's for a good cause! (diecast racing) BTW, the F50 will be a gift to Fast Fred.

I shoulda sent multiple cars and had you test them.....

As much as I don't think the Turbolence really fits the LeMans theme smitty should be racing his own car not NervehammerFTE's F50...

I don't know why there's so much dispute...the Viper's going to beat you all anyway.

Alright, I'll explain how the D-Type got on my team... In the testing process, I timed 2 runs down the 3 tracks. The fastest would go to Fast Fred, and the slowest would go to Smitty. But one car's axle bent one run on a drag race. I didn't want to give Smitty a really horrible car, so I gave him the next slowest, the GT-40. Turbolence was the fastest, and the D-Type flipped in front of where the GT40 flipped, so I could enter the D-Type myself because it was fast, but it was bouncy. Now with the turbolence vs LeMans concept case, that's why there is no Jag on Smittys team.

Can you please post a picture of the CURRENT cars that are racing? Sorry, I'm starting to get a bit confused.
Also, Sinisterdog's Camaro has at least one 1 painted on it; is it 87 because another car has a 1 on it? Just curious.

The Worpex Indy car has a 1 on it, so I needed to put a new number on it.

Why do all those cars have byes' in the first round when they could just race each other?

There seems to be two open slots for race hosts...

I'm curious about that myself. I'm new to racing so there's a lot to learn but being there's an even number of cars I wouldn't think there'd be any byes in the first round. Also curious as to how it's determined who gets the bye.

I just bought track and hope to host a race in the future so answers would be helpfull.
