Join TPC on a trip down memory lane, celebrating some of the iconic touring cars of late 80s and early 90s. This event is intended to test my custom BoP for these cars with a view to hosting a championship in the near future.
Date: Saturday June 15th
Track: Brands Hatch GP
Start Time: 22:00 British Standard Time
The event will consist of two 30-minute races, with the second being in reverse grid order.
This is a multiclass race featuring 6 "Class A" and 10 "Class C" Historic Touring Cars, loosely based on the BTCC classes of the same name from the 1980s.

- Please ensure that your racing parts and Performance Points match the ones shown in the provided setup sheets.
- You are welcome to tune the suspension and differential to your liking - though personally, I think the cars drive fine as they are.
- Cars will be limited to 2 each in Class A and a maximum of 4 in Class C to ensure grid variety. However, since this is a test event and all these cars come from the UCD/LCD (and thus aren't consistently obtainable at short notice), I will be lenient with this rule. If you only have one of the cars and it's fully booked, please go ahead and enter anyway.
Class A BoP by @Adam Barber , Class C BoP by myself. Special thanks to @AfraidRacer for helping me circumnavigate how horrible GTP is on mobile now.
The iconic Mercedes touring car; the 190E is a brutally fast machine. A hero of the early 90s European Touring Car scene, its dominant performances are well documented.

Perhaps THE single touring car hero, the E30 M3 started a legacy that endures to this day. Its sublime balance and handling make a great toolkit for a determined driver.

Another dominant force of its age, the Sierra Cosworth is a lively, spirited car that will keep you on your toes. Truly channel the late 80s in this legendary car.

The only front-wheel drive car in this field is this little legend; an absolute featherweight of a car that will take you back to the days of true hot hatches - a patient and measured driver will get the best out of this machine.

Not much needs to be said about this car, I'm sure; sublimely balanced, this car's incredible handling will keep a smile on your face all day. If you really want to thrash the car, this is the choice to make.
NOTE: While I would prefer to see the Levin, I will accept Trueno entries if you don't have the Levin available to you.

With no FWD R5GT in the car list, we are forced to include the mid engined version - what a terrible shame! Deeply fun to drive, this mad French legend is a beast in the slow corners.

No liveries that violate GTPlanet or Sony's TOS will be allowed. I would prefer to see liveries that fit the 80s/90s tourer setting, but, again, in this test race I will not bother enforcing this too harshly.
