Over on BoardGameGeek there’s a chap coordinating a Rallyman GT league on BoardGameArena (in which I’m playing). There’s been a lot of demand, so I’m opening up [a parallel GT-5 league](https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/2437812/news-recruitment-rallymangt-5-online-league). (And I believe another chap’s setting up a GT-4.) So if you feel like playing three turn-based R:GT games at once on BoardGameArena, give me a shout on that thread, or here, with your BGA username. ---

Oooh me please (I think you know my username…) ---

I have to say, I used GT-5 BOP last night to do April’s ISGOYTRA Rallyman GT Cup 2020 challenge (which was a blast) and so far GT-5 is absolutely my favorite of the classes; the boost die gives you so much more flexibility. ---

There is one slot left in the final table of the GT-5 championship. ---

Tangentially related, I finally got my physical copy on the table. I really like BOP! It’s interesting how the strengths and weaknesses of each car interact. GT-4 cars are very nimble and seem to gather tons of focus tokens; GT-5 cars are extremely flexible in planning their turns and can really mess with other cars by using their green die out of a turn; and GT-6 cars can stop everyone else from passing by being in 6th gear if they can find an opportunity on a straight. ---

I felt as though the classes haven’t differentiated themselves _enough_. I’m actually kicking around the idea of making a deck of drivers that could be drafted before the race begins and then having to switch driver cards once you pass the finish/lap line… That was the drivers could add a bit more variability into the game. All of that said, GT-5 are my favorite because of the versatility of the Boost die. ---

On the twisty tracks I favour, I rarely get up to 6 anyway. 🙂 I’m a fan of the driver/sponsor powers division in _Automobiles: Racing Season_ (I’m not a racing game fan, I just like a bunch of games that happen to be racing games, OK?). The way that works: a driver power works every turn, and stays with you for the entire multi-race series. A sponsor has three powers: if you’re first, if you’re last, and if you’re in between. At the end of each race, in finish order, you can choose a new sponsor or keep your existing one, then use their power. ---

Well, my driver idea would, in the case of a series of races, be elaborated to one-driver races per race (or longer, provided a red flag is not drawn against the driver). It’s definitely something I hope JCB gets around to eventually from an official perspective. In the meantime, I’m definitely going to try my hand at it. ---

How are you going to balance drivers? It seems that the way BOP is balance is that each car has the same number of black + white dice (7 with the right tires) so that everyone can theoretically move the same number of spaces each turn. ---

Well, it’ll take some playtesting because I’m hoping that each one will be extraordinary but still balanced across all drivers. It’ll probably use the Focus token economy to activate the abilities. ---

I’ve just opened signups for season 2. [https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/2437812/article/35153372#35153372](https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/2437812/article/35153372#35153372)
