A while back, I was developing a concept I was calling "Night Train
Express" where there was a series of all the night races in the game,
run back to back each Friday night. It was a winner-take-all deal,
where the winner of the final race got all the glory for that week.
I wanted to be able to limit each driver to a single basic setup of
their own design across all 4 night races (Bristol, Richmond,
C***te, No-plate Daytona), allowing only adjustments for tape and
wedge and air pressures to balance the car out for weather. The idea
was to see who could come up with the best "compromise" setup for such
wildly disparate tracks. I also wanted to be able to specify the
order of the starting grid based on finishing position in the previous
race, and randomly determine the order of the races in each series, so
you'd never know which race is going to be the big payoff, and to
encourage strong efforts throughout.
But of course, there is no way to accomplish much of any of this in
the game, so I put the concept back on the shelf. Maybe someday...
cheers,
Gerald
