Quick pointer - if anyone reaches 6 penalty points after Thursday then you'll still get a one-race ban, which will apply whenever you next enter a BTCC series or race. May be the end of term but not an excuse for naughty driving!
Also, next week there will be a couple of things going on. There will be a test race for the Japanese one-make Cup (or maybe two), but also I think afterwards I'll host a free test session for the BTCC Season 5 cars. I'll post the list of cars and their specs in full in due course. If anyone disagrees with any or thinks there should be changes then at least they can be done nice and early 👍

Yeah, I've been doing around 1:36, 1:37...
However, the average time for this track with these cars is around 1:34, 1:33!

Hyundai Tuscani CCS '03, VW Scirocco R '10.👍 I like that S5 line up, looks interesting. Never thought about VW, Scirocco looks amazing.

The Car List looks good, and Ford's bacon is saved from Mazda!
However, Nissan and VW may be a threat for all drivers this season!
Regarding the Track List, I like the idea of a Night Race, takes me back to the 90s at Silverstone in the BTCC!

Sure 👍
Yup, the Honda was too dominant this season really. 9 wins out of 16 races so far is too much. The other changes should hopefully mean the whole field is very close.
One thing I will say to all is don't be surprised if your car is good on the straight circuits like Monza, but relatively poor on handling circuits like Autumn Ring (or vice versa). That's deliberate. Season 5 will be a real mix of both kinds of track, so that should hopefully mean lots of different winners!

I'm considering a rule for Season 5 where you must switch cars at the halfway stage of the season. There would be effectively two half-series running under the normal full-length season, and there'd be championship titles up for grabs for all 3 situations - Season 5.1, 5.2 and the whole of 5. 👍
The ultimate aim really is to try and keep interest up throughout the series.

I'm not such a fan of that. Changing cars mid point seems a bit odd, basically if you have made a mix of tracks, so what if you run all your disadvantage tracks then switch cars and you run disadvantage tracks again? Sounds complex and would involve more work to do

There would be as even a mix as possible between both kinds of track in either half of the season.
