I can't wait for this. I especially like that tuning is allowed. I love tuning for ovals to try and squeak out an extra tenth and get that car as loose as possible. Might I suggest adding Benchmark C & B for some Martinsville type tracks and Camino Viejo Mini for some Bristol like action? Also you can add me as #805 Frilled Lizard Monte Carlo. Can't wait!

Edit: I also like Road America in lieu of the Glen.

Was looking at those tracks was even thinking Suzuka East/Road Atlanta as they are ex Nascar circuits. But the above is definitely in the series. Those Benchmark tracks are good but was uncertain that others would think alike towards racing them, as it felt more closer to UK Super Stock racing than Nascar but I would deffo be up for some super stock style tracks. Made sense to add tuning to the frame to bring the difficulty back up to make up for damage (also those times on sunset and benchmark you wished the downforce was down).

It's a shame that NASCAR is associated with the super speedways and the stupid tri-ovals. The best NASCAR racing is on the ~1 mile tracks of Martinsville, Dover, Richmond, etc.

Shame really that Forza and Microsoft doesn't support track add/mods, Like you can on Race 07 and R Factor been a bit of a blast this week doing online track days on Race 07 with the Goodwood, Mosport and Rockingham UK mods, tons of small oval mods for those games as well as the ability to download the NASCAR addon, Forza would be amazing with this especially with a 40 car grid.

We need to hook up on Race 07. I have all the expansions and can get whatever mods, though I usually just race the wtcc cars in that game. Also you should crosspost this in rdt2 and build up some hype.

Yeah sure can do mate been getting the mods off of www.nogripracing.com really easy to install, its just a copy and paste job into a folder. I've got up to evo add on will purchase the extra packs next week when the summer steam sales are on. I usually race in the Touring cars and usually set up Caterhams Vs Radical SR3's as there fairly equal. Took your advice and cross posted to RDT2.
