Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Hmm... You know... In racing, they could set up (which is kinda design) a car to place in the top 10 with no hope of winning.

So, there's kinda that. My first statement might not be 100% accurate. There are teams who compete who have no chance of winning regularly, so maybe they just design the car (again, configure it 'cause most teams aren't designing the entire thing) to just finish the races.

Hmm... It might be a little more complicated!

Like, if I go race GT3 cars, there's no way I'll spend enough to compete with the factory teams. I'm just more frugal and I know I won't win (m)any races. So, I'd not spend to win, I'd spend to have fun and compete around the back of the pack - with a car that should last the whole race. (Which may end up winning a race or three. Or at least getting on the podium.)

Yeah, without the funding you may be behind the well funded teams in terms of equipment. If you can stay on the lead lap though, you may just get lucky if there's an accident

You got it. One might make the podium a few times, with good luck, and a good crew and car. Who knows? In racing, anything can happen - and you might even end up on the top of the podium!

I've got a few real GT3 cars that I could enter into any series. I have my racing license both in the US with SCCA, and in Europe with the FIA, and VNC. If you own your own car, and everything goes fairly well, you're looking at 50k for a race weekend. It's as "cheap" as 25k a weekend for TCR.

(There are far less expensive racing series, some costing like $100 to 500 per race - plus bring your own car like a Miata.)

You better hope you finish in the money when you put up 50 grand to race
