After our first hosted event Monday Mini Madness we bring our first multi car multi class championship.
Mini should have a sport carb for 130hp

I’m not sure I’m going to have time to unlock the Alfa, much less level it up (thanks, FOMO! 
) but I’ve got my Cortina ready and built to spec, so that gets my vote. Looking forward to this, should be fun.
Class C to A? I think class B is hot enough if they should be “time correct”. Vintage racetyres = sportstyres
Edit: If a pre 65-heat should be authentic there should be no “wings” or frontspoilers allowed
You are correct none of the builds feature wings sport or race tyres or tyre widths, they slide around and handle in an entertaining way.
The classes above are not forza pi claases. Builds are on the forum or discord and should give you a car that matches FIA appendix K type stats
The mustang as it would in period is the superior car but if its wet or if theres a virtual jim clark in the field a cortina could upset the mustang drivers.
Mustang comes out around mid B class, cortina is around d400, mini is d340 jag d360, the lfa is unknown at this point
The mini series can be found here which does have the Minis build.
Might get more attention in the Community Hub for Racing Events:
I need to be able to do my own tuning if I should participate. Setups could be shared, explained & controlled. To bad turn10 has left out the very important tyresizes bettween 195 & 235. 235 was max tyrewidth on roadcars way back btw.
Tuning can be to however you want but the builds are restricted to keep cars as close to homologated power/weights and avoid parts that feel they’d take away the characteristics of each car.
The only rule on tuning is around the gearbox and final drive ratio being set up to run the stock number of gears. We’ve done this to simulate the ability to put different ratios and diff sizes as was possible in real life but we dont want 5/6 gear cars that never had that many gears in period
The e type is a Grand Touring car not touring car so not elegiable in this series.
E types will feature un other events
This sounds cool but only Chevy and a limited number of Pontiacs used a 2 speed powerglide and I dont believe they added that option or grabbing a Cadillac vacuum 400 to rpm tune the gear change. Would be a super fun period spec race
Yeah no chevrolets or pontiacs eligiable for this series although early pontiac tempest was entered in a few GT events in 64/65.
A lot of the times in sixties yoh would put a whole different gear box and transmission fromnthe factories ‘parts’ list.
BMC had many different ratios and gear sets for Minis, healeys you name it. Swap it in as it was homologated by the fia with mutiple gear set and diff options.
Those stock powerglides were in 60-73 Vega, nova, vette, etc… They were behind 4-6 cylinders to truck motors. Some stock could handle up to 400+hp. They make them now with 3500hp dragsters in mind but they were used in early racing because they could withstand the punishment
just looked some things up and the GM Holden even came with a 2 speed powerglide (dont know about the variant in game). around my neck of the woods the dirt trackers used them all up from the older junkyards. The early models were manual only which would have made racing awesome. Last on I rode in was a early 2 door impala they had plastered all over magazines around the 80s/90s behind a 283.
Yeah, more common in american circlesbi think.
Most the racing american iron we have racing here certainly dont have power glides
Heres an example of whats allowed for fia historics on a corvette:
https://historicdb.fia.com/car/chevrolet-corvette-65
All it notes is heavy duty 4 speed transmission but it does note multiple gear ratios. Theres no way we in the game could check everyones ratio hence we’ll just stick to a slorts gearbox but tuned to keep cars to the stock number of gears
From 63-67 with the vette it was a cheaper option (for most other gm vehicles not ness the vette) after they redesigned the cast iron air cooled variant.
The th400 was too wide for the tunnel under the vette for some years so they came with the th350 in the smaller vettes. I’m learning so much from what I experienced in my younger days. I may go level a holden just to try the gear ratios and 2 speed in stock gear/form.
Im running 1960 to 1973 in my FM freerace setup. That opens up for some of the greatest sportscars and gives me some great races while Im levelling up and doing setups. E,D & C-classes mostly
Yeah some fantastic cars
We are hoping to have lotsnof different historic and classic series with cars that raced eachnother at moment we just have the minis and touring cars.
Planning GTs and Trans Am cars next
Managed to get an Alfa so will work on that build
Already? I thought the Alfa was the reward for the featured tour that we have to wait for all the events to unlock. Guess i misunderstood. Well that’s good news then. Maybe I’ll be able to squeeze some time in to try and get it after all.
Took pretty much most the morning while i worked from home I let my fantastic AI with a lot of help work his waybthrough it.
I completed the first tour through the week which let me do the abcs for this month
He loves to just ram into people so i did rescue him a lot.
We already have some cars in the works from some of our mini contenders, minis already ready as back ups
@TougeMistro is working on a mustang
@Trippul_G has a cortina and is hoping to field an alfa
@EamonEejit has already been out testing a cortina
@BigphillyOG has a cortina in the garage
I have built a full range of cars so will swap between them to make up class grids where required.
All builds are on the discord or club forum.
Alfa is being worked on as we speak.
