European stock car racing?

Hello,

how do you think a high profile "stock car" series would do in Europe?

Not necessarily Nascar-inspired, just see how spectacular the australian Supercars series or the Brazilian Stock series are. Hell even TransAm. I guess the closer thing we got was the golden age of DTM, before tech went nuts.

What I mean is that we miss a high profile series which puts technical parity and spectacular action at its core. Touring Cars are having a difficult time (although Tcr regs are popular worldwide, it lacks a recognisable top series.. that makes you wonder about their organisation), moreover it' a bop series which is always questionable. BTCC is doing well but it's a national series..

What else is there, not everyone likes GT3..

Touring/Gt talent is dispersed in several categories, BOP makes it hard to compare and endurance racing puts more emphasis on team organisation/driver pairing. So do we even know who are the best drivers outside of the F1 ladder, which despite dubious dynamics at least has got a definite structure?

Imagine 10 aggressive looking Alfa Giulia vs 10 menacing BMWs, make them all equal below the surface (silhouettes) from the start so no need to balance them every weekend. More sterile? Less hypocritical maybe.

Hell you can even model them as SUVs or crossover bodyworks if you think this would work.

Let's see which drivers are the best at racing touring/stock/tintops whatever without political malarkey and brands getting to win because they threaten to leave the series.

Do you think this would work?

what to do with this patch of land?

https://preview.redd.it/jshi63f5ip1h1.png?width=857&format=png&auto=webp&s=5498247d193d6f197eaf6e3111d784f969cbc88c

Hello,

I have this patch of land, see image attached. It's currently flat agricultural land (uncultivated).

I have also indicated the length of each side to have a precise idea of the size.

What could I do with it? a kart track there could maybe reach about 600-700 metres of length? but permissions and works will be very expensive.

An unpaved track of some sort, like autocross? off road motorbikes?

I am also fascinated by e-scooters which would have the benefit of low noise as they're electric, but I do not know if races exist in my country (Italy), moreover I am not familiar with their track requirements (does anyone know?)

Ideas, sketches and layouts are welcome

Skinpack request (€)

Hello,

Is there anyone who would like to paint a skinpack for me (paid)?

It would be a pack of 20 brazilian Stock Cars (2019 version),

with no strict boundaries (no need to recreate exact liveries or sponsor), just the general idea/atmosphere of the new series.

Termas De Rio Hondo too slippery?

I have owned Ams2 since 2020, I love this track but every time I try it I have to quit after a while as the asphalt is so slippery that the driving experience is frustrating. Like driving on ice.

The difference with the other tracks is immense!

Does anyone feel the same?

Any fix?
