Looks like I'll need to buy the Alfa and Citroen for this little mini series and dust off the old Genesis I though I was going to see the back of.

Only one more race!

• Car Selection:

You must run all 10 cars. One for every race. You must tell me which cars you are going to use for each race in advance. Choose wisely! If there's too many of one car in a race I will ask some drivers to change. I will keep a record of who's run what.

Sounds like @sibbystiggy Red vs Blue series. (Which I was close in the championship)

 

[mrbrendon999]

Hm I personally like and don't like this, keeps people on their feet but also MY 10TH IS MEANINGLESS NOOO! lol

 

[SkengD]

I cant promise to take part in all of the pre season but I will try my best .

I also possibly wont be able to drive the 207 gti , the game seems to glitch when I try to oil change it .

 

[Ian_83]

I won't be able to attend all those either. I'll never be able to show my true pace, too many track and cars to learn. I'm going to be far slower than usual and that will just make my results from the car testing meaingless.

 

[Scaniabebe]

I'll do some private testing on my own comparing some of the cars. I've not really got the in-game cash to purchase all the cars; and I also have the new car to develop for HSR...

 

[Ian_83]

You're not the only one without the cash, Canyon has got a serious shortage too, he'll have to do some grinding before taking part.

 

[SkengD]

What race is the best for easy money ?

Does that ascari fast cash glitch still work ?

 

[CptMadBean]

Can't see a problem with me making it, but like Ian true pace going to be a problem.
Every track I goto takes hours of testing, before I get to grips with it.

Biggest problem I see with some of the cars is weight balance.
This a big tuning option to have ballast set front or back and a lot like 50/50 weight or 48/52.

I think this was one of Ian's biggest problems in tuning the Vovlo.

I'll try rolo that's all I can do

Not got a clue m8 I used that update glitch when the game sort of first came out, I've only got 9 mil left!

That's 8.5 million more than me

 

[SkengD]

I have about 6 mil left

 

[Ian_83]

Canyon has about 40k left.

Try the Red Bull Junior for grinding Skeng.

 

[mrbrendon999]

redbull standard is faster, 2.4 million every 24minutes, due to that my total spent credits is over 200m ~.~

 

[CptMadBean]

Right got all 10 cars, that 207 weird.
Drop power by 1 bhp takes a big drop so got to run with stage 1 turbo?

I also feel forced to buy more France trash cars than I would lol

Are you trying to say the Renault is trash?

Peugeot 205 GTi... Best handling hot hatch of all time... End of discussion.

EDIT: 2,000 posts... Oh yes

[rolo912011]

OK, having slept on it and read your comments, I'll take away the Top 10 locked-in element. It perhaps isn't right when you don't attend all the races or have all the cars. So I'll take that element out.

I'd like to sign up if I may, carrying on as MTMsport with car TBC 👍

Sure, welcome back! Battle for 10th just got interesting!

Updated Infos:

Jack Sears Pre-Season Trophy:
​

It's time to give an incentive to help me in pre-season testing. Group racing is extremely important to ensuring the cars are right and ready for the new season, but over time we've struggled to pull in the numbers.

So, I've decided to introduce a pre-season mini series. There will be a place on the Hall of Fame for the winner.

Here's how it will work.

• Calendar:

Round 1/2/3 - 1st May - Tokyo, Indy Road Course, Apricot Hill
Round 4/5/6 - 8th May - Grand Valley, Willow Springs, Brands Hatch Indy
Round 7/8 - 15th May - Silverstone International, Nurburgring GP/D
Round 9/10 - 22nd May - Nurburgring Nordschleife, La Sarthe 2013 (both double points races)

Rounds 9 and 10 are just for a bit of fun really. But also useful in that both tracks are useful in finding out the decent handlers from the straight line cars. Both races will help build the Season 8 calendar (although neither will feature on it).

Tracks may be changed before BTCC-8 if they don't work.

• Car Selection:

You must run all 10 cars. One for every race. You must tell me which cars you are going to use for each race in advance. Choose wisely! If there's too many of one car in a race I will ask some drivers to change. I will keep a record of who's run what.

Specs may be changed in between weeks depending on the way the testing goes. Cars may be removed from the BTCC-8 list but will be kept on in this pre-season series to ensure continuity.

• Race Rules/Format:

Standard in-season rules apply. Pit windows, penalty system, points system (with exceptions), the lot. Grids will be decided at random, no qualifyings (with reverse grids for subsequent races). 10-minutes pre-race practice. It is just testing after all, but I do expect a decent level of driving standards/effort, otherwise the whole thing is of no help.

No drop scores, and no extra points for lead laps/fastest laps either, just pure racing position.

Only the first 16 drivers to enter the lounge will race - no pre-qualifying for this pre-season series.

• Championships:

Just drivers. Let's not fuss over teams and whatever for this. That's for the main season.

---

This means BTCC-8 will kick off 29th May, if all goes well.

Pace isn't necessarily what I'm after, it's getting your feedback for the feel of the cars and what may need changing.

My PS3 has YLOD, so I don't know if I will make it to Pre-Season.

and to add to this list, gt by Citroën, Venturi, Renault 5 turbo, pescarolo must i go on?

I somehow find this strangely satisfying...

Oh Brendon, If we would add Buggatti, Pescarolo and 5 Turbo, this championship would be no longer BTCC....

Its about all French cars not just championship

Scania, I'm telling you the truth! It depends when my PS3 is fixed.
