| SSC - Sport Saloon Cup.
Well guys, I've decided it's time to make my latest creations public! It's something I've been working on for a few weeks now alongside my Big Wobblers. While the Big Wobblers are just for fun, I hope this can become a full on series once the cars and tracks are 100% finalised.
And that's where you guys come in! The session I've planned will be a fun evening of racing, the cars have been tested and also raced a bit by me and WizardOfScoz and from what we can tell they seem pretty close so should provide some awesome racing!
And on to the cars. The SSC stands for Sport Saloon Cup and the cars are iconic sports saloons from late 80's and early 90's. They are;
'92 Alfa Romeo 155 Q4 PI: 631 350bhp 326lb-ft 2,319lbs
'90 Lotus Carlton PI: 627 440bhp 489lb-ft 2,997lbs
'87 Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 PI: 617 337bhp 279lb-ft 2,276lbs
'93 R32 Nissan Skyline GTR V-Spec PI: 629 399bhp 325lb-ft 2,417lbs
'91 BMW M3 PI: 620 371bhp 295lb-ft 2,349lbs
'90 Mercedes 190E Evolution PI: 636 402bhp 296lb-ft 2,530lbs
The cars will all come with a 'base tune', which I applied using the Forza 4 tuning app for iPhone. I know some of you aren't keen on this but I feel that it provides a good base for which people can tweak to their preference.
How I plan to run the evening;
As this event will also be a chance for me to get feedback on whether the cars would make a decent series, I plan to run 5 maybe 6 short and fast races with only cosmetic damage. While this may not give much chance for some epic battles I think it would still make it a close and fast paced few races whilst also showing which sort of tracks would be suitable. Some of the cars suit handling orientated tracks, whilst others are better down the straights so I'd like to get a good mix!
Possible tracks; -Silverstone International -Catalunya Grand Prix -Indianapolis Grand Prix -Bernese Alps festival -Motegi -Mugello Full
If the event makes it to a full 6-round series, I plan to drop one of the above tracks and run the final race as an 'endurance' event, with 6 laps of the Nurburgring Norschleife
So there we have it. I'm really happy with the cars and feel it would make a great comp, they're cars we haven't raced in a series before (to my knowledge) and a group of lairy and often tail-happy saloon cars would make an exciting/interesting few races! But it won't get anywhere without some initial interest so your help would be appreciated!
Interested? Post the usual 'IN' with car choice and I'll send the builds out. If I'm not on your friends list please send me an FR to make things easier!
Cheers guys
From TomTom
Hope to see my team mates here | |

| ive been helping TomTom test these cars, and it should shape up to be a brilliant comp, the cars are all relatively equal in our hands, but Tom and i have a very similar driving style and skill level lol | |

| Apologies guys, but this has got to be re-arranged. My lovely lady-friend has decided that on sunday, we're taking the dogs to Barmouth in Wales for the day ... And I extremely doubt we'll be back in time!
Will re-arrange this for another day soon. Cheers! | |
