WMA International Touring Car Championship Season II

[Katiegan]

Just so you know, I've made a move to my spare PSN account, 'Katiegan', as my list on my normal account is getting increasingly full and I'm too nice to delete people. The Katiegan account will mainly be used for racing series and non-GT5 stuff, as I can just build cars on my wolfdragon97 account and then send them over to my Katiegan account. So for racing, add Katiegan, not wolfdragon97.

Yes i want to race with the 330i.

I think we're starting that car at 266 HP, 1240 KG.

Yes. So, I'll add aero to my BMW 330i (I actually have two) and test for Felix.


Also, guys, I'm just confirming that this will be a full twelve round championship, and all twelve rounds will have two races. Sorry, fellas, Race 3 was scrapped due to time conflicts with a different series.


All twelve rounds will be covered on YouTube, but, now they'll be covered in full; not even just race recaps!


And, lastly, for the night, Trial Mountain pre-testing for tomorrow will happen tonight. It is, as all testing is, optional.


I'm testing the BMW, as it's one of the outlying untested cars, that we need to ensure isn't overly fast.

I'd like it if someone tested the Scirocco, though, please! (I'll be testing the BMW, mainly, so, the Scirocco will be driven by someone else.)

 

[LancerEvo7]

So, what is the base spec? I may actually show up tonight, but I have to rebuild my car.

Scirocco? 256 hp, 1200 kg.


BMW 330i? 266 hp, 1240 kg.


AWD? 286 hp, 1280 kg.


Everything else? 276 hp, 1200 kg.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Anyways, (sorry for double post, posting new info,) I'll be in ITCC_Division_1 lounge shortly.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

First post-pre-testing (see what I did there? ) spec update:


Edit: wrong, further testing required for Lancer Evo.

 

[LancerEvo7]

Awesome-mobile #1 was about 5 tenths off the pace. But Awesome-mobile #2 is ready to go for another time.

You guys still on?

 

[LancerEvo7]

I'm not and Mel wasn't in the Lounge when I last checked.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Awesome-mobile #1 was about 5 tenths off the pace. But Awesome-mobile #2 is ready to go for another time.

Had to back out for Volvo aero, will be back in 5.

You guys still on?

Yes.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

First page/OP updated with specs!


Yes, they're yet to be finalized, but... Close enough.


Edit: Total test length: 3 hours, 21 minutes, 8 seconds.


All of the specs are complete and seem accurate, though, so, here's hoping it all goes well!

 

[braunracing88]

There was a test earlier?

Another optional (not compulsory/mandatory/forced) test today, to finalize specs. Specs for all cars are in the second post of the thread, back on the first page.

Volkswagen Scirocco R (STCC)

256hp/1200 kg

Right now, it looks like I will be able to make if for the Trial Mountain test. Also, who did the Rome Reverse race distance check? Those lap counts equate to a lap of less than one minute. My Lamborghini Miura, while running the Lamborghini Seasonal Event from earlier this year on that same track on Sport Hards, could barely break 1:10 on the 2.16 mile track. How can it be possible for a vehicle with no more than 286 to lap faster than that?

It's not. I'll look into that.


I did shorten Race 2 a smidge (for FF vs. FR vs. AWD tire wear to be smoothed out a bit,) so... Hopefully everything's okay. This is why we run preseason testing, without any points (or, any steps towards $80 worth of stuff) on the line.

So, only two races per weekend, eh? What brought about this change?

I do.

Agreed.

Yeah, okay.

I just saw that last name. You're lucky that car says touringcar.ca on the front.

Take all of the photos of Canadian race cars!

 

[whiskymaser]

still im the only one running it just like the Lamborghini in the last series

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Yeah. It's better that way.


Also, it's working, but there's a bit of lag. And, the picture's a bit off of my normal settings. I don't know why the PS3 doesn't just run HDMI out for HD PVR2s. So, I closed FRAPS for HD PVR2 thing, hopefully it should work better now.

Then, I'll have to restart FRAPS after.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Update: I got everything working, here's the first Video Driver's Meeting.






Final details:


Today will have two races.


Race 1 will be seven (7) laps long.
Race 2 will be 10 laps long.


Pit stops are no longer necessary. Prime tires will not be used. Racing hards only.

Nee, preseason.


But, yes, Season starts next week, I believe. If everything goes well, we'll be about to embark on a fun season. If everything doesn't go perfectly, I'll see what I can do, A.S.A.P., to get us going just as strong, just on a later start date.

Also, Sakery, can you put a rear wing on the Golf VI R? I know that it runs similar lap times in the specs (check first page, second post,) without the rear wing, but I'm wondering, if there is a rear wing, whether that affects the lap times.

Lastly, thanks!
