Trans Am series?


Prophecy

Recommended Posts

So I know that we have a proper league in the works, but I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a trans Am series as well? I'm a massive fan of trans Am/historic touring cars etc, and fm6 offers a huge range of suitable cars and tracks. Keen to see the response to this idea, and if there's interest we can make something happen :)

Not nascar, more gt racing. But yes, mostly American muscle cars, though it was split into 2 classes- under and over 2.5 litres, so your lower class was Alfa sprints, Datsun 510s, Toyota celicas etc, above you'd find mustangs, challengers, camaros and such. Most of the muscle cars of the time would be eligible- cars that immediately come to mind that WOULDN'T be are the charger, charger daytona and coronet as they are nascar/stock car models and weren't trans Am racers in real life

Know what- when you actually go through the cars in the game and think about what was eligible under the rules back in the day, your left with a HUUUGE list, and it gets a little hard to figure whether something should be allowed or not, so how about a fantasy series where we no longer have to worry about homolgation etc.

 

Trans Am cars are welcome (cougar eliminator, mustang boss 302 and gt, hemi cuda. Javelin etc), gt/le mans cars are welcome (only just- I'm thinking cobra s/c and 250 lusso, unless there was 3 classes, the top of which was proper le mans cars like the gt40 and 330 p4- which I'd be ok with), euro and Japanese lightweights like the rx3, BMW 2002 and 240z/skyline 2000gtr... Pretty much all the great race cars of the time built to a set class limit, with the potential for a higher class limit for le mans/GT cars, for multi class racing...

 

This is getting complicated.

i'd be up for a 60's - 70's US Muscle car championship, on American tracks? Set an in game class limit and such like?

 

I'd be honest and say, although I know the names and such of some older US championships I never knew what type of racing it was (be it oval or track) but I know most of them are remembered for the cars, be it the Firebird, Camaro, Mustang to the full blooded Superbird's and such. :)
