1988 BTCC : Entry List

There is a Ford Escort RS1600i in the btcc list ingame but not possible to drive that one no?

The Escort RS1600i is much much slower than the Corolla TRD so there was no point in making it available .

Oh! I would really like that to happen!

Any more slots left, as I would like to join

Hi Jesper, welcome to HSO . Yes there are only two spots left, so now only one if you join us. Before that I need you to put some laps on the training server (HistoricSimracing, pass : hso88) to seed you in one of the three classes.

Roger that, will get some done by today

Please give it your best try because we need to get a precise idea of your level. If we seed you in Class B but come race day you prove to fast for B and are more a Class A driver we will move you up to A. Only you will get what car is left available in A, i.e. most likely a slow one . Therefore it is in your best interest to be seeded in the correct Class right away .

OK I've added an ALFA-Romeo 75T to the Class B field, making a total of 40 available cars which should be the absolute maximum our server can handle. We have 38 drivers registered so far which is great ! Ideally the two registered drivers which have yet to be seeded, Ole Marius and Dave, will be spread over Classes B and C, which would fill those two classes .

My god the field is going to be hectic!

Sierra #16 would be fine for me

Is there another spot in Class A for me, for the whole season?

Preferrably in the Sierra, too

Yes, I thought that the schedules overlapped but they actually don't, so as I'm a BTCC fan I jump on the occasion :p

Yes there most certainly is one for you JB !

So we now have 40 drivers registered for 40 available cars. Any new driver wanting to participate will be put on a waiting list .

What a great field this makes ! I can't wait to see the aliens battling out front, and I hope the other two classes will be well balanced. This is gonna be awesome !

Toyota 77 svp

I am going to ask you which model of car you would prefer to have in the Class you were affected in.

Dans l'ordre:

BMW 635 CSi
Toyota Supra 3.0i MA70
Sierra RS500

Rover Vitesse

Ford Sierra RS500
Rover Vitesse
Nissan Skyline

Edit: Doesn't the TCL mod have an issue with the 635i? Something like the game always crashes when a 635 enters or exits the server?

OK si ça te va je te mets sur Supra. La BMW David Jundt la voulait, je trouve ça sympa qu'un de nos membres suisse la prenne vu que c'est la voiture d'un pilote suisse en vrai. Là j'essaye d'optimiser les places pour que tout le monde ai une voiture qui lui plaise, donc dès que quelqu'un est OK pour prendre autre chose qu'une Sierra je lui attribue. Après quand tout le monde aura exprimé son souhait si il reste une Sierra de libre tu pourras la prendre si tu veux.

I'll give you the Nissan if that's ok why you mate. As I was saying to Francky I'm giving the BMW to David Jundt to keep the Swiss flavor to this entry. As for the Rover maybe Carl wants it, and anyway as the Nissan is clearly faster than the Rover I'd rather see you on the Skyline .

Yes there is but Alberto fixed that for us . The patch will be made available once the seeding of the drivers will have been done with.

Ok pour la supra

Drivers who have not yet expressed their wish of car :
Pilotes n'ayant pas encore posté la voiture qu'ils souhaiteraient avoir :

Class A : Vincent, Pierre, Greg, Carl, Yves
Class B : Jonathan, Matthieu, Philou, Joel

Class C drivers it's only a matter of car number so there is no hurry there.
Pour les pilotes de la Class C il ne s'agit que de choisir un numéro donc il n'y a rien d'urgent.

Ok Franky.
I like the Rover, but honestly never tried the Nissan, so I'll give it a spin

OK c'est cool d'avoir des motivés pour les voitures moins rapides en A ! De toutes façons vue le plateau, les gens comme toi et moi même en Sierra on aurai beaucoup de mal à taper un top 6 à la régulière .

OK well maybe Carl will end up with the Sierra #16, teaming up with Richard's #8, so that would make the Rover available to you anyway .
