Australian Touring Car Championship
(OP IN PROGRESS)
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.
There will be 2 categories. The two categories are Group A & Group B. I'm planning to have the maximum BHP for Group A to be 650BHP and weight 1,270kg. For Group B, the maximum BHP is to be 570BHP. These are just maximum specs so we know where to start for the BoP testing. The planned cars for Group A are;

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-adress 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 will be announced closer to the start of the championship start.
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.
Season Calendar
The championship will consist of 15 rounds with varying formats. Sprints will consist of up to 4 races with laps depending on track size. Enduro's will be worth double points and will consist of 1 race up to 2hrs depending on track. The calendar will be announced shortly.
