Wangan Ideas

Well, First thing I will say before I even start proposing this is I know everyone loves drag racing LeMans... But what if we could take a more Wangan like approach to it and not use a straightaway, but use a more winding road (For example maybe one of the back sections on The Ring) And make a sort of Wangan Spec racing (A, S, or R3 class) and do rolling starts n stuff. I know this idea seems kinda dumb to a lot of people, but I think that it could potentially be a lot of fun. Anyways, i'd like to see what other peoples opinions of it are.

If it ain't a straightaway then handling becomes more important than power which sort of defeats the purpose of making a top speed wangan car in the first place? Although using the ENTIRE Le Mans track including the straightaway might make things more interesting.

The wangan isnt just a straight line though, so thats the whole idea. you need to balance your power and your handling.

Last time I tried that no one seemed to like anything but doing the straightaway. I do like the idea though.

I like it to. I have to cerrect you though triumph: i found the wangan expressway on google maps and the part thats actually called that is all straight for miles

Knight is right, the actual "Wangan" runs along the bayshore and has multiple lanes that go on for miles with no interruption. The surrounding highways like the C1 loop are the ones that twist and curve slightly.

Aww, okay. I was reffering to the Wangan Midnight anime, where they tend to run loops, so the guys that cant take corners at mach 10 always eat the walls. Me n my club used to do this, and did a S700 spec.

Yeah, it's fun to build cars like that for Lemans. A few of us got into it for a while but everyone was having too much fun on the long straight and we didn't really get into the corners, lol.

I'm pretty sure there's a backsection on the Nurburgring that is still a full throttle fast paced section, but it has a few bends in it, so It could be a ton of fun.
