With the close of the /ovgtp/ season, its time to start deciding what mod will be run for ovg's third [[rFactor]] season. Below is a shortlist of mods we could potentially run, links to downloads and videos, and pros and cons of each mod. If you have an idea for a mod that should be run, feel free to add it to this list, but please keep these points in mind:
 
 
-Mod is based on actual cars (don't put 'miniville' or some shit).
 
-Physics are at least driveable/believable. Most of the time you're not going to get super 100% realistic physics and thats okay as long as the mod is driveable.
 
-Variety of cars. A 'Spec' series would be fun as a support series or for pick-up races, but for the 'Primary' series most people want a variety of cars to run.
 
-Balance. If we need to make a fuel or tire tweak here or there, that's fine. But let's not have any mods with hugely unbalanced cars (i.e. Simtek BES)
 

Over the coming weeks and months, it is highly encouraged that everybody try out the following mods (and other mods not listed that you think would work for /ovg/), and make your opinion heard in the thread.

=== Enduracers SP3 1.1 (Vanilla) ===
2007-2011 ACO/IMSA LMP1, LMP2, GT1, GT2, GTC.

+ Variety of Cars, especially with the release of SP3. 
+ Cars are already balanced. Experience with the current season already tells us what needs to be tweaked and where. 
- We just ran this, most people will probably want to run something different. 
- Large install size. 
? Could possibly open this up to all four classes, with classes open for anyone to run whichever car they want (no "qualifiers").

2014+ ACO/IMSA LMP1, LMP2, GTE.
