R-Sport Ireland's BMW M4 has finally hit Australian tarmac.
You heard right. After shipping delays, and even an engine that blew up, the independent Group B team from Ireland has finally put rubber to road in Australia. When asked about the season. Car owner/driver WanganGhost had this to say. "This will be a learning season for us. The car has done decently well in testing. Although we managed to miss all of the preseason tests run by the ATCC. We can hope that some points are in the works for the car."

Practice races were a lot of fun imo! All the cars have different weaknesses so makes it fun, even to try and get around the Group B cars 
. Had some great little battles in both races, especially with the C7's, really have to think where to plan to pass in my GTR with better cornering but less speed.
Pace looks pretty well with each other, with different locations I suspect it will be a very interesting championship battle across the whole ladder!

. Love the rear of those M4s! Great news
.I'm stumped that there aren't any Mercs, though. 
Definitely a great night last night. We had quite a few drivers unable to make it, but we still had a max of 12. The servers tried their best to get us down but we still charged on. The Tokyo race will be interesting, strategy will be absolutely key there. As we proved last night, you can get your strategy oh so wrong, like FutureF1, Timlour & I, or you can get it oh so right, like Mikey, Ninja & Pubs.
Judging on the last race at Silverstone last night, the race there will be quite intense.
I think it's safe to say that the ATCC is the best Touring Car series based in Australia.👍

With less mistakes at the start I could've really been up their with Mikey and Ninja I think! My first podium! Although unofficial, so encouraging for the real Tokyo races. Definitely strategy will be massive here, I had 1 lap of fuel left so cut it so close but a shorter tyre life at the end definitely might be a better option.I'm stumped that there aren't any Mercs, though.

I'm also surprised at how equal the C7s tyre life was, I thought the GTRS was chewing them bad compared but watching the replay it's almost a little better
. Are damages on for real in Round 1?
Ooo! That's a great photo dude.JBM RELEASE SNEAK PEEK OF CAR!

At the heart of the fleet of official ATCC cars for the 2015 season is the new BMW M4 Coupé. The high-performance sports car will make its debut as Safety Car at the opening round in Tokyo, when it will be responsible for safety in the name of a BMW M GmbH. As with all the official ATCC cars - the 2015 fleet consists of five different BMW models - the BMW M4 Coupé combines a well-balanced overall concept with captivating aesthetics.
Developed completely from scratch, the sixcylinder in-line engine with M TwinPower turbo technology and high-revolution concept generates a maximum torque of 550 Nm at a top output of 431 hp. In doing so, it exceeds the peak value of its predecessor, the BMW M3, by approaching 40 per cent. The BMW M4 Coupé accelerates from nought to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds.
Since 2000 the Australian Motorsports has entrusted the task of driving the safety car to Wavey a former successful touring-car racer. He knows how to keep the pace during the safety period just high enough so that the Touring cars’ tyres and brakes do not cool down too much. Wavey started his career in karting at the end of the 1980s. In the following years he progressed to Formula Ford, the Porsche Carrera Cup, the FIA GT Championship and the German DTM touring car series.
Q: When are you deployed onto the track?
SC: According to the official regulations of the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the car is deployed 'if competitors or officials are in immediate physical danger but the circumstances are not such as to necessitate stopping the race', for example after an accident or in severe rain showers.
Q: What’s the role of the official ATCC safety car?
SC: It takes up its position at the front of the field and leads the Touring cars around the track at reduced speed until the dangerous situation has passed. All the cars, beginning with the race leader, must line up behind the safety car.
Q: Who decides when you should take to the track?
SC: The decision is made by the FIA race director, @NW48. He also decides when the safety car phase is finished.
Q: How are the drivers informed about the safety car phase?
SC : The drivers are notified by the marshals and light-panels that show yellow flags together with the letters ‘SC’. Additionally the driver is informed via radio by the team and a warning light inside the cockpit flashes until the safety car phase is over.
Q: How long does the safety car remain on the circuit?
SC : It will remain until the hazardous situation is under control and the FIA feel that it is safe to resume racing. The laps completed during the safety car phase count as normal race laps. If the specified number of laps is completed, a race can also come to an end behind the safety car.
Best wishes for all the drivers of the ATCC, and wish you all a happy season here, at the ATC championship!

Is it a Datsun?Its not a Nissan...
All jokes aside, I'm really looking forward to the unveiling if the car, from the small sneak-peek I've been shown via PM, I can say that this could be the best unveiling yet.
@Pubs16, we'll probably keep it on Light for Street Circuits then switch it to heavy for 'Open' tracks. The damage system is a bit of a lottery, sadly.

The following is an explanation of the unique Qualifying system that the ATCC will be using.
- A Pre-Qualifying event for your dedicated manufacturer will be set up in the Club Events section of our Community Club.
- You only enter the Pre-Q event for your manufacturer & group.
- You only get a maximum of 3 attempts (so you have a maximum of 30 minutes at your disposal)
- Each session will last 10 minutes
- To start your Qualifying run, start the Time Trial
- Everyone needs to complete 1 Pre-Q session to be eligible to compete in the race.
- The Top 7 Group B cars will make it through to the race.
- The Top 7 Group A cars will make it through to the race.
- If you did not make it into the Top 7 of your respective group, you are not eligible to race at the round. However, if someone who successfully qualifies does not make it (to the race), you may be called up into the race.
---
I've attempted to put it in the simplest form I can to avoid any confusion. If you have any questions, no matter how trivial, do not hesitate to ask.
The Pre-Q events for Round 1 will be up later today.

It's set up into manufacturers for Pre-Q as there are different specs between different cars in a group. So to eliminate the possibility of 'cheating', we will separate them into manufacturers.I'm a bit confused on why its' separated by Manufacturer in rooms but results are separated in Groups
