BTCC Super Touring Era

* Ford Mondeo
* Vauxal Vectra
* Audi A4
* Renault Laguna
* Nissan Primera

* Donington Park
* Oulton Park
* Knockhill

Couple of favorite Tourers:
* Peugeot 406 Silhouette (FFSA)

All in all the usual suspects for me. I just hope and keep my fingers crossed that Codies is going to amaze us all with a brand new BTCC racer for 2016 / 2017. With all the drivers comming in their office and with the good contact they seem to have with them , maybe it's possible the organisation is willing to cooperate as well. As said before, BTCC has currently a huge momentum and there is quite some interest for the series outside of the UK. Enough blablabla from my side :lol:.
 
I wouldn't mind more street courses (like Pau, Porto, Macau or some others.)

Also would like Brno in Czech republic.


But, the main idea: put all disciplines on all venues. Nothing wrong with Cat. C touring cars going to Detroit, Chicago, San Francisco and Washington...

Agree Andrew, that's indeed a very nice track to race on! I played it years ago on the dreamcast (just can't remember which game. Think it was Le Mans 24 Hours by infogrames).

Also the group C tourers are very nice to run on some street tracks. 👍

I'm hesitant to include much in this thread, because to me, GRID AUTOSPORT is very much a game that is quality over quantity - and there is already a lot in there to begin with. It would be too easy to make endless lists of dream content, but sooner or later we'll just end up with the GT scenario and have forty thousand variations of a Nissan Skyline with no discernable differences between them.

So if I'm going to list stuff, then I'm going to keep it short and only list content that I think will improve the game, rather than including things for the sake of including them.

Circuits:
- Dijon-Prenois
- Motorland Aragon
- Barbagallo
- Pukekohe Park
- Watkins Glen
- Silverstone
- Termas de Rio Hondo
- Potrero de los Funes

Cars:
Without getting too specific, I do like the idea of some classic touring cars. And I would like to see the Cat-A and Cat-B touring cars and the GT1 and GT Ultimate cars expanded. But again, it should be done in the name of improving the game, not just for the sake of it.

I'd also like to see more teams out there. Especially one that can (but not necessarily will) beat Ravenwest from time to time.
 
The problem with Silverstone and the Nürburgring is that every racing game as them these days. But GRID AUTOSPORT isn't like every racing game. If the content were to be expanded in DLC, then that content should compliment what already exists, rather than just add more for the sake of adding more.

For example, I think Dijon-Prenois would make a fantastic addition. I have never seen it in a racing game before, but I think it would be phenomenal for touring car racing. I'd much rather see it than the Nürburgring, because I can just fire up GT4 and play it. It wouldn't enhance GRID AUTOSPORT.

And yes, I know I mentioned Silverstone above. But Silverstone has multiple configurations, and that's where I think the strength of it would come from.
 
I know what you mean about every sim having those tracks but I need Silverstone and the ring (GP) because I love those tracks and also I can't go back to GT6 after playing Grid AS, let alone GT4!

Like someone else has said, I'm a 'one sim at a time' guy, I can only play at weekends, or the occasional evening, I don't want to waste my time with GT anymore, I need to be swapping paint in a single player Touring car career on those tracks!

The tracks in Grid AS are alive, they have an atmosphere and look great, would love to see the above with my other fave tracks that are already included (Spa, Brands, Hock and Bathurst).
 
Now that I've got the hang of setting the car up, I'm thoroughly enjoying Open-Wheel; it's now my second-favourite after Touring. But I find the use of the old A1GP cars for Formula B to be odd, to say the least. So I think there is some room for expansion, and with that in mind, here are some possible alternatives:

GP2
- Dallara GP2/11
- Dallara GP2/08
- Dallara GP2/05 (or whatever the original GP2 chassis was)

GP3
- Dallara GP3/11

Formula E
- Spark-Renault SRT_01E

Formula Renault
- FR3.5 chassis
- FR2.0 / 2.0 NEC chassis

Others
- The new Formula 4 chassis
- The old Formula 2 chassis (that was slower than the F3)
- Euro F3000
- Older IndyCar/CART chassis
 
Im really happy with the car and track list at the mo, there is so much to go at.

I just miss nord runs, Nurburgring should be in every racing game its just epic.

If there was a car DLC soon i would love some classic thunder saloons, MK1 and 2 escorts.
 
But, the main idea: put all disciplines on all venues. Nothing wrong with Cat. C touring cars going to Detroit, Chicago, San Francisco and Washington...

True, but add in a 650 HP 5.0L V8, RWD (duh), tires that are the same width as a Super 2000 touring car, and you have something more fun than that. Hell, even the Cat B cars are more fun.

With a Custom Cup, you can race any of the cars on any track.

It won't work. Touring, Endurance, Open-Wheel and Tuner all have sixteen cars on track - but Street only has twelve. So how could you have a championship that is split between road and street circuits?
 
Actually it has been in one game from what I remember.


It's also in GT Legends.


@prisonermonkeys Watkins Glen is definitely a track that should be in more games, as is Mid-Ohio. For an international level track, Phillip Island doesn't get enough love.

And to come right from left field, Highlands Motorsport Park.

Lots of layouts, some of them pretty epic. The full version has a bridge crossing over in the middle, like Suzuka. 'Tis cool! And it's in a nice part of the world, the scenery is good for those who like that sort of thing.
 
The Island is very much a bike circuit. Sure, V8s and GT cars race there, but bikes produce much better racing.

I do like the idea of developing the Touring category. It's easily the premier discipline, and I especially love the way it covers a variety of championships. It would be incredible if that could be taken a step further to get the full BTCC, WTCC, TC2000, Stock Car Brasil, DTM and V8 Supercar rosters, plus SuperGT if those cars could be moved into the Touring category.

As for circuits, I had a brainwave: the Korea International Circuit. I know it's despised by Formula 1 fans, but the circuit has a northern "national" loop that looks perfect for touring cars.
 
I think this game needs

Monza
Nurburgring
Imola
Isle of Man TT
Circuit de LaSarthe
Circuito Termas de Rio Hondo
Monaco GP circuito
 
The Isle of Man TT circuit? Really? It's over seventy kilometres long and is not used for any form of car racing.
 
Given the scale of the circuit and the processes involved in modelling it, creating it would probably take Codemasters years.
 
- Imola (new and old Senna era layout)
- Classic Hockenheim.
- Monza (new and classic layout)
- Spa classic layout
- Le mans (new and pre '87 layout).
 
I agree with Imola (for touring cars) and Hockenheim (endurance), but I think the others are overdone. I'm still of the belief that content should be added because it improves the game. Instead, I would propose the following alternatives:

- Circuit of Wales
- Domodedovo Aerodrome
- Inje Autopia
- Autopolis
- Shah Alam
- Aintree
- Sportsland SUGO
- Crystal Palace

You'd prefer the Domodedovo Aerodrome above Le Mans? :eek:
