Automation Touring Championship
The Automation Touring Championship (ATC) is a challenge series based on IMSA and Australian Supercars. Cars will be built according to a specific ruleset, or formula, and raced against each other inside of automation. The first season will be comprised of only one class, GTA (Gran Touring Amateur.) After the completion of the first season, a second class will be added. Each season will be comprised of 4 4-6 hour long races, as well as a 12 hour inaugural round.

New Information!
Now that the rules deliberation have ended, it’s time to go over a few things.
[New Info]
Going over the soft price limit may result in a time penalty every race, under my discretion. Going over the hard limit will result in either a large time and performance penalty, or just an outright bin.
You will be running two entries. You may re-submit your car once, and you must re-submit it before submissions close.
[New Info]
First of all, there are a few stats that will dictate how well you perform. Drivability, Sportiness, Prestige, and Reliability are key due to their affect on lap time and pitstops. I’ll go over why these affect you in just a second.
The format will be run like this: A “testing session” will be held, which will reveal raw pace without any multipliers from the stats, and the results will be posted. Then, a practice and qualifying session will be held. This time, Drivability, Prestige, and Sportiness will affect lap times. Then, the race will be run. The length of races will be announced at the same time the tracks are revealed.
Here’s some insight on how race time is calculated:
Drivability: Drivability directly factors over to how easy the car is to control. Higher drivability decreases mistakes made.
Sportiness: Sportiness will dictate how much laptime to add or subtract per lap. Anything over 50 will decrease time, and anything under 50 will increase time.
Prestige: Prestige can be thought of as your driver. The higher the prestige, the fewer mistakes made. (This factor won’t have a significant influence)
Reliability: Your reliability heavily influences the length of your pit stops.
Pit Stops: Your pit stops are influenced by a few factors. First, the amount of times you have to stop is based on your fuel economy. Second, your reliability affect the length of your stops, and has a slight influence on your stop times. (Theoretical fuel tank size is 130 Liters (about 34.3 gallons)
Additionally (and this is my bad 
) there are now new general quality limits of -5 to +5, unless otherwise specified. There’s also some new information in the additional information section.
