FM4 Classics.... European lightweights V's Yank Tanks

[smokey2326]

Anybody ?

I'm thinking things like the Austin Healey and Lotus Cortinas, against the likes of Camaro's etc. Say European and American Cars from 1960-80 as a rough guide.

No more than 3 of one car. we may end up with a Cortina Cup otherwise

Your down

[y2blade]

Tidy thank you

[Chunkychucky]

Sod it i'll go in something with a big V8 to buck the trend, not sure what yet though need to go shopping..

[davepoth]

I'll go in with something large and boaty...probably the Challenger.

[y2blade]

I love the idea of a two race evening..sprint then a longer feature race.



sounds good to me

[Cledus Snow]

Sounds like a good idea.

GT is Jack chevelle and i'll use something american.

[kowalski655]

I would like a go in this. Probably in the Austin but I'm not at the Xbox so can't see the full choices,so may switch to some yankee iron if I can find one I can actually handle

[GT Kodiak]

Hmm... Does a Pinto count as a Yank tank?

[kowalski655]

Only if 'tank is a euphemism for 'piece of st, :-)

That's what i was going for. I'd like to have the feature race reasonably long though if it's ok for everyone, say roughly 30 mins ?

Erm, Technically probably not but if it's between 1960-80 then you can use it if you like


Another thing, i'm thinking no engine or drivetrains swaps to the cars, keep it more authentic.
Would the be ok with everybody ?
