Rotaries at Midfield, The Final Return!

This was a VERY popular race created by Rypien back when GT3 first started.
It had since been brought back a couple times and since it was such a fun race,
I thought it deserved "one last hoorah!"

Hope it brings back fond memories for some and creates everlasting new ones for others.

I'll adjust the hp figures when my cars are fully broken in and I know for sure the max hp. The ones with "?" are the ones I'm referring to.

Zero, please check and confirm your fully modified 787B time and get back to me.

I will also be adding a mildbrid class as soon as I get all the details worked out. I'm taking suggestions for that, btw. Thinking Miata with a RZ motor??

Good luck everyone and most of all, have fun!

Leaderboard is now on the webpage due to space/time. Click here!

jesus christ! not again i think my very first exposure to very hotly contested competition was this very comp nearly 3 years ago (wow! has it been that long??? )

it's very important to note that this was originally the brainchild of the original mazda maniac Rypien who will doubtlessly lay down some fast times here.

will you be creating a website for each class of car full mod and arcade versions?? that would be cool. my only complaint about Rypien's comp was that all of the times were just posted in a big lump without class leaders really given thier due on top of a list. anyway, you definitely picked a good one to resurrect this time. i can here ron licking his chops as we speak

although i see you've worked on it already, i do recommend getting rid of the "all mods except stock HP" class. that sort of classification has always lent itself to a little dodgyness. believe me.

This sounds great! Even great enough to hunt for my Xport, or if I buy the USB memory card will someone convert the save for me?

Yes, I agree, I need to add something that says Rypien started this challenge a LONG time ago.

I will have just the one webpage for all of the rotaries unless the submitted times leaderboard becomes too long. I will leave the classes as is. You can run any that you want to and none that you don't. Some people don't like the fully modded cars as they are quite a handful. I personally enjoyed running all of the cars and probably the "stock hp" ones as much as or more than the others. The webpage has all classes and cars listed individually, so you can run for top spot in any car or class you prefer.

I will be dnaged if i did not just spend an evening driving the wrong way around this damn circuit...ooops

New rules for this race. Replays are no longer mandatory.
