Has any ever watched that Procar race before the bathurst 24 hours... i was watching a tape and i sprung an idea into my noggin how about say 2 hour endurance races with power classes like
100-150kw
150-200kw
200-250kw
250-300kw or

400-450kw
450-500kw
etc... and just have holdens Vs Fords Vs say a big other car maker with carsin australia say nissan toyota?

i just quickly made this imageand that was only pic of a ford i had

I say versus the world, for instance in the Barina sized class, you would have the ford Fiesta whenever that comes and other cars that we can model easily like the Suziki Ignis GTi thing and other cars. But theoretically the 24 hours should have have them ne way.

Have procar and have 24 hour procar can be the less powered cars and 24 hour can be all the overly dangerous high power cars of the bathurst 24 hour?

VQ

The 24 hour only shows the high powered cars but it had lower class and lesser powered cars in it to.

yes which is why procar would be great for them seeing how they would be noticed more and would have a chance

hmm, sounds like an idea is brewing here

your damn right theres an idea brewing! me wants to race stock HSV GTS against Stock FPV car (not sure on the name of the top FPV car?)

VQ

Yer but they have no chance, HSV's are more track orineted.

hav_lova
01-02-2004, 02:36 AM
I rest my case on why there should be a procar division:D ^_^ :cool:

Y2kGoofball

and your referring to the Bright Orange sh!t box of the world, the GT-P:rolleyes:

gt-p?

Y2kGoofball
01-03-2004, 06:34 PM
I think thats the top FPV car? Mickcals would know, I'm a Holden man not a Ford girl so I dunno^_^

Mickcals
01-03-2004, 06:49 PM
Yeah its the GT-P

Yer but they have no chance, HSV's are more track orineted

I wouldnt be too sure about that - in the 2 Hour race the XR6 Turbo was giving the GTS a run for its money and in the 24 Hour Race i think one of the FPV cars finished ahead of the GTS

VQ

You can't compare a Turbo CHarged DOHC straight six with a OHV Alloy 5.7 N/A V8 and were was the GT-p then? I would ahve thought the GT would be faster because it is just a fairmont interior not a Fiarmont Ghia.

Mickcals

the GT's werent in the 2 Hour Bathurst race

Y2kGoofball
01-04-2004, 01:50 AM

hav_lova
01-05-2004, 02:25 AM

VQ
01-05-2004, 02:44 AM

hav_lova
01-05-2004, 07:44 PM
i didnt see a FPV in the 24 hour race on Xr6 T's and i think a XR8 or two? saw a GTS though :D

well, if someone can organise a list of cars we would like in game

then we need to either make them or find NFS 4 versions and attempt to convert them WITH pemrission &(

Maybe for the time being we should just consider converting some Aussie Muscle (if allowed) cars to SCGT, and paint them up ourselves? Just as a learning thing and to see how we go, then consider modeling the real thing

There is one GT in the Procar Series.

There were 3 GT's in the 24 Hour Race, one XR6 Turbo and one EL XR8

mickals a self confessed holden supporter like yourself would just love that job:p :p :p ;)

Mickcals
01-13-2004, 06:51 PM
hey hav_lova i was considering applying for the job, i figured that if i got the job then i could laugh at all you Holden supports, cause Holden to go broke and laugh victoriously hahahahaha

*shakes his head*
see folks this is why u don't support fords you lose you sanity when they lose so much in the v8 supercars

Mickcals

I dont know Mark Skaife looked bit "insane" when he couldnt retain his championship &(

VQ
01-14-2004, 05:02 PM
Thatz because that dickhead ingall forced Skaife into the wall.

Mickcals
01-14-2004, 08:55 PM
So Ingall got pushed into a wall at Barbagello by Greg Murphy, on a straight, off the starting grid and Ingalls not insane - i would say that he is rather proud of what he did

VQ
01-15-2004, 02:29 AM
But it was a lot more damagig to skaife as he was flipped around with the force of it.

Mickcals
01-15-2004, 07:08 PM
No Ingalls was worse, he lost the whole front of his car, and that was before the car swung around and hit the concrete wall entirely

Y2kGoofball
01-15-2004, 10:25 PM
blah blah blah blah

... blah

who cares^_^

hav_lova
01-16-2004, 06:03 PM
Some people say skaife was heavy footed but that cant happen the back of the car slid the wrong way to be drifting and ingall seems to follow the back on his car i think not.... he was pushed off ingall was defending ambroses position... has anyone got a pic of ingalls ford after it was wrote off i could use it on a few of my books this year kill the fords :p (must joking mickals)
