1988 BTCC : Entry List

Nah, peace of cake compared to the 1989 DTM or the 1970 USAC series we had before . The DRP will be the most complicated one to score in 2013, with a similar class system as the BTCC, but top 10 scorers in each of the three classes and to make it worst some double-race meetings where only one result per driver shall be retained

955 entrants!? What are the requirements to enter it? A roll-cage and a racing license?

If the DRP is more difficult, I can't imagine how much time is spent trying to set that up!

Two to five drivers per car, and between 180 and 220 cars per round.

And yeah I believe pretty much everything like a GT3 or slower can enter as long as it has a roll cage and the drivers have a racing licence. Although I believe they have some sort of threshold for the number of bhp, like I could not enter a race with my slow ass Golf. But at the 2009 24hrs I saw a Mini Cooper from the 60's. It really is a funny sight

Any BMW M3 that isn't a ProDrive livery is fine by me and I'll just as happily grab a unreliable Ford and try to get that to fly (almost as quick in both cars )

la rover vitesse, stp

That video is from 2008, JB.


The Opel Manta with Volker Stryzcek is still running at the present day in the 24hrs of the Green Hell although it should have been disallowed due to emissions rules.

Back in the days, there were more Minis and Caterhams and Donkervoorts!

There's a VLN 2005 mod around that seems pretty good. But you need GTR Evo to install it.

I watch the 24hrs each year

You'll certainly get it to fly, albeit not in the direction you intend to

I tried the car some laps because I owned one in real life years ago, and while the M3 -I also owned one- is the best recreation of the car I have experienced in a simulation, the RS Turbo is way different from the real thing. The settings for sway bars and differential are IMHO not logic or correct for a FWD, and the car doesn't pull to the inside of the turn when giving gas in short gears as a real FWD with a locking differential does

Still, I have seen some people go really quick with that car, and my bet is that in the twisty circuits of the BTCC it will give many unpleasent surprises to us M3 drivers

Is it OK if I give you the Escort ? Not many drivers like the FWD so I'm jumping at every chance I have to fill those two seats

If you decide to give me that car I'll drive that car

I am so thick... When I was scanning through the Corollas to see which one I wanted, I thought I would check how big the difference was between the Escort in the same class and the Corolla. But then I realised that I had forgotten to install the TRD enginge before I did my "qualifying laps" on the server...

So I did 10 more laps and found another 3 second :p

Sorry for the mess-up, hope I did not make too mutch trouble with this.

Je vais prendre l'escort en classe B, si possible.

I Never thought one day i would be driving a Sierra

Is it ok if I put you back on BMW ? Dave and Matthieu have the Escort for only choice, while you don't seem to mind the BMW. Sorry for the change, just trying to keep everybody happy with his ride

No problem Roy, you still belong in C - only now you're one of the favourites in that class hehe !

And me lol !

A little update on the field :

Class A : 3 Sierras (#14, #15, #30) left for Greg, Yves and Jesper - please tell us which car you want.

Class B : Laurent and Teemu asked for a BMW so I put them on the last two remaining : #33 & #34. This means the remaining ALFA for Joel. Joel si l'ALFA ne te conviens pas dis le moi, on trouvera une solution.

Class C : Gianluca, Jon, Rolf, Roy, Dave, Ole Marius and Giuseppe - you can chose which Corolla you want now .

On se calme

With all the people that have signed up it looks as though it is going to be a very good championship! I mean 40 drivers! Even if only 1/2 to 3/4 show up will still be great. I might not score a podium or anything with the talent that is in class A but im sure there will be plenty of close battle's!

Cant wait

The Corolla can be choosen with the TRD engine right?

If yes i take the 60#Mark Hales one

If no i quit champ(i don't like this car with the wheel on the right too that i hate)

All the upgrades available are allowed : the 6-speed gearbox for the BMW, the 470 HP Eggenberger engine for the Ford Sierra and the 300 HP works engine on the ALFA-Romeo. The 250 HP Special TRD engine on the Corolla is mandatory.

La #14 pour moi, Frank, stp !

Note pour plus tard : donner une Holden à M. Closset.

Tiens regarde, je l'ai la Holden ! (ca freine quand même mieux que la version Australienne)

Ca pouvait pas être pire, la version australienne a pas de freins, juste 2 pédales "accélerer fort" et "accélerer moins fort".

Bon courage en tout cas
