Anyone else not really a fan of this series? If drafting actually had any effect whatsoever it might be a bit better. We could have had pro Mazda's or Ferrari Challenge or anything else for that matter... lol

They were only set up to draft at Daytona, they weren't meant to be wide open at the other ovals.

This wouldn't be an issue Top if we had people actually vote instead of signing up and not contributing.

He is just pouting beacsue he was last at Homestead haha.

I do agree about the votes. Everyone who voted should run at least a race or 2

What good is the drafting at Daytona or running any oval for that matter if you cant bump draft? Anyway, just not my forte I guess. I think after voting on new series the votes should be published.

Just because we can't bump draft (which is an issue Forza won't address) doesn't mean you can't draft altogether at Daytona. It's all about manipulating the air around your car and those around you through side draft or lagging back to get a run. Outside of that one track, we shouldn't be bump drafting anyways. I really don't see what you're getting at.

Not every race is going to be a pack race like Daytona. It actually makes the cars fun to drive when you have to lift off the throttle and manage it through the corners rather than just wide open. If that's what you want, you can just run the restricter-plate races on Iracing endlessly. If you don't like it, don't race. We had a good race for the lead this past weekend. I can't help that you weren't fast enough to do it. There's plenty of series that run that I don't like or have interest in on here but instead of whining about it cause I'm slow or can't drive the cars, I just choose not to enter until there's something of my interest. Maybe if more people voted you could have had your Mazda races. Nobody said you had to race in it.

I'm glad we're running this series. It's only 6 races and they're relatively short races.

Can the voting be published after it's completed? Ya that is about the only positive, that's it's only 6 races, and that we get to turn right next time lol.

Why does it matter who voted for what series? Each voted counted twice as well. So if they put both votes towards IROC (like I did) than it already starts out with 2 votes.. again if you don't like the series, don't race. This series is fun. Can't wait until the Indy race..

So it's ok for you to whine and bitch about the series and when I defend it and point out facts, that makes me a keyboard warrior? Makes sense.

I asked if anyone also wasn't a fan of the series. If you didn't agree you didn't have to comment.

You were signed up in season 1, so I don't understand what the big surprise was this time around? If you didn't like it the first time, why sign up or race in season 2? God forbid the cars are somewhat hard to drive and not able to flat foot everywhere..

Your right, driving around at 170mph at daytona without bump drafting is great fun. The only thing that would make I better is if we had stage points... hahaha

"The series I voted for lost, so I'm going to join another one I don't like and bitch about it"
Sun 23 Jul 2017, 05:02
Don't get next to me the next few races lol.
Sun 23 Jul 2017, 05:10
If it's anything like last week, that won't happen.

Girls, play nice...
