Announcement:
Early days in the season I know, but I'd like to introduce something interesting I have in mind for next season.
Some of you guys have spoken a lot in the past about letting cars into the series that aren't BTCC-relevant, and until now I have resisted the calls. However, now is your chance to get some of these cars into the series....
I'm opening up a vote, open to all of you, where you send to me,
via PM, your list of cars that you'd love to see in BTCC. There are some rules (listed below), but beyond those the choice is entirely free. It can be any car that you like, within the rules below. It can be a totally new car, or an old BTCC car you want back. Up to you.
You will be allowed to list up to a maximum of
10 cars.
Please do so in preference order, as I shall be tallying your votes based on the F1 points system. You don't have to list 10, but you cannot list any more than that.
The top
3 cars from the vote will be put forward for testing, and,
providing they can match the field for pace, will be included as a permanent part of the car list. If they cannot match the field, then I'll test everyone's 4th favourite, and so on until 3 spaces are filled.
Please bear in mind that I will only be changing the weight of the cars when testing - all cars will have 305bhp.
The rules for your choices follow. Cars must...
- not be 4WD
- be dated no earlier than 1993 (i.e. cars cannot be more than 20 years old)
- be stock road cars, not racing modified models or racing cars
- be able to have Aero parts fitted from GT Auto
- be able to hit at least 300bhp, although 305 is preferred
- be able to weigh 1200kg exactly at some point (1400kg if FR)
Please be sensible! If a car is clearly going to be too fast or too slow, then don't bother because neither will I!
If you want a particular model of car that has about 50 variations, then please specify....
Vote closes at the start of Round 3 (Suzuka East) on 7th February. 👍
