It’s been stated as 101…100 + 1.
Which in a competion like CSR I fully understand because it may give a subjective penalty. But with lap times, this just means a hard limit of 101.
I’m fine with a hard limit of 101. It should just say 101 then.
Ferrain Sferfect GTCC
(Sorry for bad quality but i made this photos in 4k)
The Team :Ferrain PL Team
-It’s a new team created in 1998 ,when was created a prototype of Hypercar with 13.1liter rotary engine with power almost 5,000Bhp.They don’t have experience in races but they can make almost good engines that can have 220Bhp from 1.7V6 without anything on 91 octane fuel.
The Driver:Shin Ztami
-He is a founder of Ferrain.He loves driving cars.He raced in city and other etc.His style of race is almost that same as “Shinigami” from Initial D.He hates AWD
The Car: 2001 Ferrain Sferfect GTCC
-That car have 1.7liter V6 engine that follow race specifications and have power better than 230hp (Less than 250hp).This is first racing engine of team but engine didn’t reach maximum potential.
Car is FWD and Power/Weight ratio is 1hp/4kg.It was city car with 1.6 engines and 1.8l.That car had only 5speed manual gearbox in road car but in GTCC version have 6speed gearbox.
Ok, I’ll keep the hard limit at 100
How to send a message with file to you?
I have a topic with my car and you can test it.
Hey bud, a few things.
-
don’t upload your files to external sites, that’s sketchy as fuck.
-
once you comment a bit around the forums, you’ll gain access to the private message function.
-
don’t make a new thread to try and enter a challenge, it’s not a good idea

Public Announcement:
Ios is pleased to announce that negotiations with Baltazar Automóveis have led to a successful outcome and both parties have agreed on a mutually beneficial way forward. Whilst registration of the Quazar nameplate is technically allowed, out of respect for the long-running and established Baltazar Quasar, and in order to mitigate the potential for public misunderstanding, Ios would like to advise a change of name for their new model. Combining class-leading features, cutting edge technology, and engineering passion; delivering exciting performance through a choice of two completely new engines, the Ios Lumos is ready to light up your life.

To get an idea of how much I should weight fuel economy into my tune, can I get an idea of numbers of laps for each race, and the fuel tank size?

BlueBull GBSC Junior Racing
BlueBull, title Sponsors for GBSC this season
The Team:
For the 2005 GTCC season, GBSC has split their partnership withepis, and have picked up BlueBull as a sponsor for the Foreseeable future. This partnership also marks the start of a new Young Driver program, a joint effort between GBSC and BlueBull. The GBSC Junior GTCC team has been working in touring cars since the early 1990’s, and with experience on their side, hope to finish well.
The Driver:
Zoe Amberli is a young and fierce driver. At just 19 years of age, this is her first foray into top level motorsport after an impressive Formula Junior, Junior Rally, and Karting career. She is using this series as a hopeful launching platform for her career.
The Car:
A strange backwards build, the GBSC 200 Touring was built as a racecar first, road car second. It features a 195kW 2L inline 6 engine, and a RWD drivetrain, it is seen as the perfect Junior Competition car. It is GBSC’s first Wagon touring car, and is a hopeful entry.
GBSC has pulled from the series citing concerns.

I’ve just realised that we haven’t covered some questions that will actually dictate whether or not I enter:
- How are the races and their outcome actually calculated?
- Do you have flying laps of all the courses? Because if you’re basing your lap times off the standing start laps that would be silly and most of us are unlikely to enter

From what I gathered from the rules, they’re using the ASCAR calculations
Two more questions:
- The ASCAR spreadsheet is set to have the reliability checks be reasonable for the ASCAR 1987 ruleset. Will it be the same here?
- How big will our fuel tanks be? The spreadsheet is set to 83liters (22 gallons) right now.

reliability will be a part, and the fuel tanks will be 80 liters
And number of laps for each race? Or is each race going to be a certain distance and the laps will be however many they need to be to meet that distance (eg: Daytona 500), so if so, what would the race distances be?
We are here with Mr. James Calhoun, long serving team manager of Right Turn Motorsports, a PMI Racing International brand racing team.
Reporter: “Mr. Calhoun, you’ve been doing this work for almost 20 years. Are you excited to be here? What is your view on the GTCC?”
Calhoun: “Yes, thank you, I’ve seen a lot in this rich career. I thank PMI for all these opportunities. We liked the concept of a global touring car championship, the venues, the open rules,…”
Reporter: “There has been more than a bit of controversy about those rule though, if I understand correctly?”
Calhoun: “Yes, yes, there were some aspects that were unclear, the management does not seem to be the most open and exhaustive in their communication. There are still some issues, but we look forward to contend nonetheless.”
Reporter: "Can you give some examples, maybe?
Calhoun: “Well, we are quite unsure how long the races will be, and how we must built our strategy. Also, while there certainly is a level of standardisation, the allowed types of vehicles and trims is very broad, leaving open the possibility that we’ll have to look in terms of classes.”
Reporter: “Classes?”
Calhoun: “We’ll be competing a 4-door sedan, a sleek two door sports tourer would have had the same engine and had a much lower center of gravity and a possible higher power to weight ratio. We are sceptical they can actually compete against each other in a relevant way.”
Reporter: “Tell us more about the car.”
Calhoun: “Certainly, we’ll be entering with a car based on the 2006 - yes, that’s correct, we are introducing our new concept here - our 2006 model year PMI Calliope Linos 200.”
Reporter: “And the driver?”
Calhoun: “Our Belgian test pilot, Michael Goosens, will be driving the car.”
Reporter: “Can you tell us anything more about him?”
Calhoun: “Michael is 29, has been with us for 6 years now, and we think him extremely capable… He likes cars, beer, music and dogs.”
Reporter: “Thank you Mr. Calhoun, and good luck on this endeavour. You mind if we take some pictures of the car?”
Calhoun: “Thank you, live yourself out.”
