FINAL THOUGHTS

I had a lot of fun with this series. After a year in GTs and LMPs, it was nice to do something new and completely different. There wasn’t always fantastic turnout, though I never expected to have full lobbies for every race. HOWEVER, the racing was always very good. There was constant battling for position. Close finishes. Not a whole lot of cautions (with 1 or 2 exceptions). The racing was fantastic. And for me, that’s enough to call the series a success.


SNEAK PREVIEW OF SUMMER 2017


Next up on the calendar is THE OPPOSITELOCK 2.4 HOURS OF LE MANS!

We’re only about a week away at this point. And for the first time featuring members of r/redditracing (disclaimer: members of RORA were welcome to race last year had they signed up, though that was before I raced with RORA and before joint Oppo/RORA series like CTSC). After that though, it will be time for a new series...




And I have no idea what I’m going to do lol. I’ll get an idea/suggestion thread up this week and also begin testing, though most of the ideas can be found on Robo’s idea post. I’m looking to start the next series in early to mid July and run it up to Forza 7's release (or maybe a bit longer if necessary). I’d even consider jumping it over to Forza 7 if enough people get it and BOP plays nicely in the new game. Also, I had been saying that I’d run two series back to back, though I’m not doing that now to avoid BOP woes and overuse of Forza on the weekends, what with Reddit and TORA series on the calendar.

THANK YOU


Finally, thank you to each and everyone who has participated in my little racing series, with special thanks to RoboRed for recording every race and to Little Black Coupe for being our pace car. Here’s to next series!
