The only cars you can't vote for are listed in my post. RWD is allowed.

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 (i.e. underweight and overweight cars are not allowed)
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. 👍

Don't have the time to run anything else to be honest (and wouldn't want to anyway). If you mean instead of BTCC, then no I haven't. 👍
 
I'll think of a few ideas and send you a PM 👍

I've thought about running a one-maker before, funnily enough
 
Cant wait for thursday, looking forward to the close racing again.👍

38's I think is a good time, all about race pace rather than a single lap

furi pulled out? O_o why was it so?

@Novall
if you like teamwork we can test and train togheter and maybe be a team

Sounds good. I should be a go for thursday. I would be happy to team up. Pm me on here when you would like to get in some laps. I should be on tonight, late around midnight EST.
 
I've run some of my cars according to your rules and my 120d is awesome as well as the '03 Axela 23S. I have an Alfa 166 but, it's too heavy yet, stable. Looks good too.
Nurburgring GP/D:
120d 1:38.098
Axela 1:38.672
Alfa 166 1:40.913
Reference :
ATENZA Touring Car 1:38..454
IS 200 GT-1 Race Car 1:39.095
Integra Type R Touring Car(PS2) 1:39.972
* all cars @276hp/1200kg except Alfa 166@276hp/1236kg; ATENZA diff set to 10:90; f/r aero for race cars set to minimum
 
@llNovall: i'm GMT+1 no clue about EST time and such :P

@stewards: so my case was reviewed and rejected? Just to know since the next race is approaching

Midnight EST would be 6am for you karsten 👍

Yet to hear anything from skeng or killa, so not sure yet.

@O5XR8 - we run cars at 305hp, not 276 :) 120d wouldn't be allowed due to being too fast, but the Axela time looks interesting 👍

lol @ 6AM :P no way i'll get up at that time to train O_o

concerning cars, i would love to see a 156 or 166, but they would need a bit of extra HPs i guess. Also what about "pre-tuned" cars like the atenza touring version, the s2000 or the altezza and the others 300hp touring cars out there?

As I said in my post, all cars will be specced at 305hp. If they can't run fast enough at that power then they won't be used. I will only be changing weight in order to keep things simple. If a car cannot reach 1200kg through weight reduction, or full ballast, then I won't even bother to run it. I'm using 305/1200 at the starting point for any car that's FF, and 1400kg for any car that's FR.

As I also said in my post, racing modified cars are not allowed - only standard road cars are allowed (this can include concepts though). Cars similar to what we use now.

Please re-read my original post on page 48 of the thread if you forget the restrictions (that goes to all of you).

I pmed karsten with the reason for his warning .

So i believe penalty still stands.
 
Haha. Yep, Rolo. The 120d has 54kgfrm, 3 LESS than the '09 R8 LMS V10 race car! :)

👍 Let's call that an end to the matter.

@05XR8 - 120i at 305/1350 is a more realistic prospect 👍
 
so this is going to be the meter for all season? I ask because such a normal race accident happens a ton each race, and i expect a disaster at nur turn one, with some diving inside some taking the outside and then crossing each other's path with 2-3 cars one by side O_O

oh well i hope al will be well :P at how many warning you get a one-race stop?

Any disasters will be dealt with 👍

3 warnings = 1 race ban
6 warnings = season ban
 
What i usually use karsten in close side by side racing is the race position display , if im approaching a corner but the driver beside me is ahead of me on the race position display then ill yield and let him go first .
