HSO Supertourers mod

For this championship we will be using the HSO Supertourers mod for Automobilista.

You will need: => HSO SUPERTOURERS V1.2 <=

Car Selection is free and will be first-come, first served, and opens on the 4th of September at 20:00 Paris Time.

When asking for a car, you can list multiple choices as in the CART series (Specific car, make, or team).

Each driver must keep the same car for the duration of the championship. Changing of car will be tolerated under exceptional circumstances only.

If a driver misses 1 meeting (2 Races) without mentioning his/her absence, he/she will lose the car.
If a driver misses 3 meetings (6 Races), even when stating his/her absence, he/she will lose the car.

Absence or presence from/to a race must be declared no later than 24 hours before official practice start.

When a car becomes free for the remainder of the championship, it will be made into a One-Off entry on a 1st come, 1st served basis as per usual when the Event Thread is posted.

When the event is over the car will be made available in the Sign-Up thread on a 1st come, 1st served basis for anyone to ask.

The results of the Sprint race will determine the grid for the Feature race.

All championships use the same points system.

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.

Any questions, feel free to ask.

Just a couple of things:

-Which thread is the one to post car request on? The entry list one?

-The BMW virtual mirrors are hokey - the perspective is all funky.

- Yes the entry list.

- We tried our hardest to fix it, but unfortunately to no avail. If we find a fix, we will release it later in the year. Sorry.

These cars had SQ-Shifting, didn't they? If that's the case, having such a shifter would probs be a lot of fun...

4x4 denotes an AWD car, right?


That poor little Opel Vectra being an Independent and not eligible for the manufacturer's championship...

Took until '96 for Holzer to enter, along with Alfa(Engstler, ahtough those were also entered as privateer I guess?) and Peugeot.

ok, cheers.

Good luck with the mirrors

Yes sequential and yes they are 4WD.

What could be the reason why my car looks like this

We have a fix coming for that Oyvind, but to remove it now, just put your car details to full.
