Hey guys,

I've been pondering for a long time about doing a championship of mine. Now, I settled on this format, the Touring Car Championship.



Touring car races are some of the closest and most interesting to watch, with great disputes between drivers. That is all due to the regulations, which require the cars to be based on road-legal cars, and yet they are free enough to go crazy about it. This first 1996 season will be raced on 10 tracks, all around the world. The results will be posted every two days or so.

Rules


All bodies available in 1996 are allowed, except for the mid-engined ones.

Races



Scoring

The scoring will be set to replicate famous motorsport competitions around the world and will scale up with the number of participants.
It will be based only on the lap times of those tracks, flying laps will be used when available.

• 1st - 24 points
• 2nd - 21 points
• 3rd - 19 points
• 4th - 17 points
• 5th - 16 points
• 6th - 15 points
• 7th - 14 points
• 8th - 13 points
• 9th - 12 points

Submission Format

• Please, name your car as ATCC-Username, with no spaces (example: ATCC-Leonardo9613)
• Send the .lua file via PM with the following information:
  

    Code:

  Username: [username]
Car name: [Car name]
Nationality: [Nationality]


If you have sent your entry, but your car isn't on the list, there must be some problem with it. Either it doesn't meet the regulations or the file doesn't work on my computer. If I haven't PM'ed you back, to tell what the problem is, tell me, it could have gotten lost in the middle of all my private messages.

Special thanks to: Jakgoe, for helping me with the cover image and sending the templates for the charts, Der Bayer, for making said templates on the first place and the Brands Hatch track, 07CobaltGirl, for making most of those amazing tracks, Conan for helping with the cards comments and Statman, for making Tsukuba.

I will enter this!

Sounds really interesting, getting an old BRC vibe from it
Does the car body require a 4-door saloon?
Time to get off my lazy ass and participate in more competitions.

You can use any front-engined body that is available in 1996.

About the BRC vibe, I might have had access to Bayer's templates when designing those pictures

Do cars have to be B1418 compatible?

Im all over this

Brace yourself for a CRX body invasion in that case

I meant regulations-wise, but now that you say it...

Yes, they need to be B1418 compatible, there have been many changes between builds and it wouldn't be fair to race cars designed now with ones made in older builds.



NormanVauxhall had given me the heads up on that. Well, may the best CRX win then

However, I would try to make the cars look interesting, there will be some sort of visual presentation of the entries.

I was more referring to using aftermarket grills/vents. If there is a visual presentation I would like to sport the 'hottest' new grill on the mod market

All mods are supported, if there are any errors, I'll tell you and ask which mods have been used, so I can download them. But I think I have them all, so there shouldn't be any problems.

BAM is already working on the car for the championship.

Im going to enter this Leo!

Žnoprešk joins the Championship with the Zenith V8-ATCC.




And it's a SEDAN, because it's a fokkin TOURING car championship

Sounds like a challenge for me
Loyer Racing Technologies will enter this.

Edit: is there a limit on production units?

Behold, the RWD hot hatch of doom!
