1990 Campionato Italiano Superturismo - Rules

Touring Car Legends Mod and Cars

We will use the Touring Car Legends 1.10 mod for rFactor.
You will also need the sound pack to get all the engine sounds and the BMW 635 Fix.
Engines sounds can be greatly improved by using this additional sound patch made by Guillaume Siebert from the Touring Masters version of the mod by the Race Department.
For this championship we will also use the 1990 CIS Add-on, which adds 2 car models
1990 CIS ADD-ON


Car selection is free. However, admins can refuse a car to a given driver if he is judged too fast for it or if his simracing level is unknown.
Each driver must keep the same car for the duration of the championship. Changing of car will be tolerated under exceptional circumstances only.

A driver missing two races in a row without any explanation on the forum, will have his car freed and made available for someone else to book.

Championship Rules

The championship will be run over 10 meetings, held on Wednesday nights. Each meeting will host two races of around 30 mins. Both classes will run together in all races.

Points will be awarded to the top 10 scratch finishers on the following scale :

20-15-12-10-8-6-4-3-2-1

There will be two overall drivers' championships held, with class A1 and A2 both having a champion crowned at the end of the year, scores will be based on the best six (6) round results of each driver in the season's 10 rounds.

Qualifying

The starting grid for the race will be determined by the times recorded during the 35-mins qualifying session held just before the race.

The grid for the second race will be determined by the finishing order of the first.

20:00 - Free Practice
20:20 - Qualifying
20:50 - Warmup

Race Start Procedure

Behaviour on track

- as for all HSO races, it is required you use your real name both in-game and on the forum. Thank you.

- Chatting is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN in race session. It is allowed in qualifying sessions for technical issues only.

- Drive Through : If a driver has to do a drive through, even if there is no pit lane speed limit, he has to drive through the pitlane at 100km/h max (60mph). If he doesn't respect this, he will get a 30s penalty at the end of the race.

- Shortcuts : If a driver gains a position after shortcutting a turn, he is required to give it back as soon as possible. In the case where a driver would not do it rapidly, a 30-second penalty will be added to his total race time. In the event of abusive and intentional shortcutting, severe sanctions will be applied (up to definitive a ban from the league). To make sure you never shortcut a turn, try to always keep two wheels on the track.

- Respect the red light at the end of the pitlane.

Application and Interpretation of the Regulations

The admins alone are qualified to solve any problems raised by the application and the interpretation of the present regulations.

je serais bien intéressé d'avoir le choix des pilotes uniquement pour la classe : A1 ou A2 ?
pour avoir une idée du niveau dans chaque classe.
pour moi je ne sais pas trop

Ben tu est plutôt en A2 ?

Normally the faster guys will be in A1 as the cars are more challenging. Ben and me will be in A2

Vi, je reste en A2. Après 1 an sans M3, je ne peux louper son retour.

J'ai un petit soucis avec la M3, une fois l'addon CIS installé :

"error loading mesh file DTM3VA.GMT to memory"

la voiture est invisible sur la piste, et en carton vu de l'extérieur.

Pour les amateurs de Mercédès il faudra encore patienter...

Testes la Maserati, je pense que tu y trouveras aussi ton bonheur. Elle pourrait être la tueuse de ce groupe A2.

Can you see and select the car normally in the menu?

And does it happen with other skins and with other car models?

Oui, Alberto (et merci de tes conseils ! ), la M3 est bien visible dans la room

et aucun problème avec la sierra, l'alfa et les autres skins du mod CIS, ni avec les M3 du DTM, par exemple.

This is very strange because we did not change anything in the graphics, and if you have the DTM90 add-on and the cars loads it should be OK  

Sometimes the game does not want to read the GMT that are outside of a MAS archive, so I have packed the DTM3 files inside one for you.

Make a backup of "GameData\Vehicles\TCL\TCLBMWM3.mas"

and replace it with this one:

Merci Alberto.... mais j'ai ça maintenant :

"error loading texture seat1 for material SEAT1"
puis
"error loading material SEAT1"

Je viens de réinstaller, rfactor, le mod tcl, les addons, ça fonctionne !

Merci Alberto !

Is this the same TCL 1.1 we drove for ATCC???

Dude, read the rules, there's an add-on to download.

too much

Do we still need the 635CSi Fix? There are no 635CSi in this championship, so I guess it's just there and acts as the safety car?

Yes you still need it as the rules say.

Okay. Also have to ask this after looking at the A1 cars:

The 75 Evo's engine in the upgrades tab shows the 300 bhp works engine aswell as the standard 285 bhp engine.

Where's the 370 bhp engine?

Ah well spotted

Sorry it's a typo because the "Works" engine actually has 370 HP and not 300. You can easily notice it on track, the car is much faster and on par with the M3 Sport Evo.

Yes the server has the fix permanently in our TCL install, so you would get mismatches and be kicked out if you don't have it.

So the upgrade tab should actually list a 370 and a 300 bhp engine. Alright.

Noted, and already installed all needed files again

I quite like that Alfa, could be my weapon of choice

I've been doing a bit of research on this champ:

http://touringcarracing.net/Pages/1990%20CIS.html

I checked some races, and a 190 Merc appeared at Varano in the A1 class. I guess as it wasn't a full-time entry, it was not worth creating an update for the car and put it into the A1 class(not to mention creating a skin of a car that has no photo material on it).


I am surprised about none of the Alfas sporting the #5, as seen with the car in the promotional poster, which is Morbidelli at the night race in Misano.

One more question:

Would drivers like me told to race in A1 or could they also race in A2?

Or is there any car that should not be driven by the fast drivers?

Drivers are free to pick any car they like, but we would like to encourage the faster driver go in A1.
