This is a test race to try out a BTCC MOD, it is similar to the TCR mod but there is also a BMW available for the rwd fans!

Doesn't BTCC use the National layout?

The version of the mod you have linked is outdated. It has V.7 tyres and no external engine sounds.

There is a 2.1 version with added cars, physics updates and V.10 tyres on the official website....scroll down the page

Cool, I will update the link to the new version when I am back at my pc

Yes normally, but they were scheduled to use this layout last year until covid struck

These cars are very good. I don't think I've ever driven fwd cars as convincing as these in any sim!

Nice find Stephen 8)

Are we using the latest version?

Sounds good. The TCR series was fun, so these are probably too.
No more time to test them before sunday, so I'll probably attend unprepared..

you still not been to spec savers spanner! see my reply to GT further up this thread (yes we are using the latest version)

FYI - I have updated the top of the thread to point to the latest version of the mod

Tried these cars and they are one of the better mods. Not a fan of two short races all the same.

Same here.

Hopefully we will get some decent numbers attending and it will be worth increasing the length!

i'm in.

Practice server is up, any problems please post in this thread

17 minutes, thats a joke,right?  :)

was set to 2 x 17 which equates to roughly 40 mins with overrun and waiting time, was not sure how much enthusiasm the cars would generate. As there seems to be a bit of interest i will increase it to 2 x 20

Touring car racing is often only around 20min races

 ;D these cars are very evenly matched and make for good racing, shame only six of us on grid, and the two twenty min races were better than I thought.

Nice to see a few more faces on the grid. RL got in the way so only got about 10 mins practice on default setup so used the first race to get up to speed and get some consistency. was a bit closer to the pace in the second race but tailed off towards the end as the front left tyre started to wear out.

very similar to the TCR's we raced a year or so ago, but with the advantage of a rear wheel drive car as well. I will probably use these for a series next year after we have done the URD DTM series

Enjoyed racing these and would make a decent future series I think. Don't usually enjoy 2x race format but was ok, maybe mix up series with a couple of longer single races  :-\

Noticed in testing the Toyota has tyre troubles, they seem to gain far too much heat/pressure compared with the other cars so it is probably bugged. Alfa seemed a little quicker hotlapping but don't know if that drops off during the race. The M1 just feels a bit strange. Might be a bit quicker than the fwd cars but only after a few laps as it seems to take longer for tyres to get up to optimum.

As for the races, I had my usual bad start in race 1 and got a drive through for jumping the start in the race 2. I may as well just skip quali and start from the back  ::)
