I tried the tool too, but it crashes as soon as i select any trim
Edit: I double checked, strangely it doesnt work only for the cars prepared for the BRC Challange.

The error occurs when i choose certain trims including the one for BRC, in the pop up menu. There are other trims of other cars working fine...
It occurs either way if the game is running or not...

This is what I get. I enter my name and a name for the car. When I select "Trim" it turns to this screen. I have tried it with the game open, closed, the car exported, the car not exported. I am running as administrator.
Here is where I have extracted the tool and its components.

I think you have to create a folder BRC1966 where to extract the program, not extract the compressed folder into the automation one.

The folder structure should look like this:

Andrea is right, create a new folder please.
For the other ones having problems: I will think of a solution but I really don't know whats going on. You would help me if you could export the car which is not working in a PM. Thanks for your patience.

Just curious if someone would mind sharing some ballpark figures so i / we can have an idea of what the cars should be able to do? My current car does the automation track in 2.23.01, which is quite a lot lower than the competitive cars from the 1955 BRC, and i assume these will be faster, not slower. Or if we could have an idea from a benchmark car on the automation track and/or airfield track? Want to participate yet not finish last

I think your time is fine. *opens automation, deletes car design and cries*

Claiming #21. Also, I couldn't wait for this, especially as I just missed out on BRC 1955.
Also, my car is getting around 2:27.XX on the automation test track.

For those who did previous BRC: how much would you say does (how much) brake fade influence race performance?

Does tyre wear affect handling balance? e.g. worn front tyres causing understeer.

I think the technological advances from 1955 count for a lot, as do the new tyre widths. I'm tossing up between a few bodies with similar times and fuel consumption rates. All of them at this stage are doing about 2:23ish on AT so I assume that'll be competitive as a single lap time. Now I just need to test the handling characteristics and fuel capacity... As well as weight. All my cars run between 230 to 270hp with weights from 920 to 1080kg. The clear winner is also quite a bit smaller though... Will have to refuel more often...
