Australian Touring Car Championship
Season 2
This series is a throwback to the heyday of Australian Touring Cars with a vision for the future and a modern twist using a slightly modified version of the new "Gen2 Supercars" regulations coming into the V8 Supercars in 2017.
In this championship, my fellow series organiser's and I are striving to achieve ultimate professionalism while ensuring that everyone who par takes in this series will have a thoroughly enjoyable time with high levels of competition. It is for that reason we will allow up to 26 people to join our series and race competitively throughout.
We had an ultra successful Season 1 which saw all the titles, bar one, go down to the final round. We are hoping for the same sort of success in what will be a fantastic season for everyone involved!
There will be 2 categories. The two categories are Group A & Group B;

General Rules & Expectations
As with all championships, there are rules and expectations regarding all things from track limits to race craft. The following is a summary of general rules & expectations that you can expect when competing in this championship;
Track Limits
Track Limits in this championship will be dictated by the white line that surrounds the track. In the case of kerbs & ripplestrips, track limits will be extended to the inside edge of the kerb, or in the case of ripplestrips, the outside edge of the ripplestrip. You will be infringing on this rule if you put more than 2 wheels over that white line or kerb and gain an advantage.
Track limits will be observed in all races, failure to observe this rule will result in a time penalty added to your finishing time unless you self-address the infringement by slowing to erase any advantage gained.
Race Craft (Contact of Cars)
Rubbing is racing, so contact of cars in this championship will be rather relaxed as long as it does not hinder a drivers progress, it will not result in a penalty. Any contact that hinders progress or is deliberate, will result in a time penalty that will be added to your finishing time.
Passing (Divebombing, etc)
Divebombing, is strictly illegal and will not be tolerated. If it is reported or seen that you have employed the said technique, you will be facing a time penalty.
The 3 quarter car rule will be in place to ensure this does not happen.
Appeals/Complaints
Any complaints or appeals over a decision made must be directed to the officials of the round. The series officials of the round will be announced in each round's respective driver's bri
Safety Car
In our pursuit for professionalism, a safety car will be in use for some rounds. The safety car will be the BMW M4 Performance Edition with the equipped light bar. We do need a driver for that role for it to go ahead.

Wildcard Entry
A Wildcard Entry is able to use a car that is FULL but cannot do more than 50% of the season. This is the perfect option for people who cannot commit fully to the season. As they are able to use a car that is FULL, they are ineligible for Manufacturer Points.
Team Championship
Teams of up to 3 are allowed to be formed to compete in the Teams Championship. Teams can be formed by two different manufacturers and/or Groups. If you're interested in forming a team, leave your interest as the following;
Team Name // Who's In It
Manufacturers Championship
A Manufacturers Championship will be up for grabs and all full-time entries will be eligible to earn points for their respective manufacturer.
Independents
An independent, or a single-car team, does not have a multiple-car team and is unable to score points for the team championship but can score points for the manufacturers championship. If you wish to be an independent, please state so in your driver entry.
Support Series
Within this series, there will be two support series. The second season of the International Formula Ford Championship and the first season of the Toyota 86GT Pro/Am Series. Both of these series' will have their own respective thread to avoid cluttering, they will be opening in the coming weeks.
ATCC Media
Before and after each race, there will be a Pre and Post Race Press Conference. How they will work will be explained in the PM where they will be undertaken. In addition to press conferences, they will also be a weekly 'Driver-In-Focus' interview where the driver is asked 10 questions spanning multiple motorsport related questions. One week prior to the start of the season, a Media Day will be held and will serve as the event where each teams cars and liveries will be revealed. A Group Photo will also take place.
