Not one to disappoint by not having a backstory and naff photoshops for a competition car… (I am aware I may be shot for this)
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the 1966 Peniston Hurst GT Touring.
With Peniston due to launch a new GT car to the public, they decided the car needed some racing pedigree to drive sales, and so created the GT Touring. Conveniently, due to Peniston being a thoroughly British manufacturer and the recent win by England of the 1966 World Cup, Peniston saw a further advertising opportunity.
(World’s worst photoshop of Sir Geoff Hurst on the bonnet of the Peniston Hurst.
By some miracle (or perhaps the offer of a free car) Peniston managed to get Sir Geoff Hurst to promote and advertise the car, in the process causing a name change to the Hurst, in honour of the man himself scoring a hat trick to win the final.
The car has currently only competed in one race supporting the British Saloon Car Championship, where it looked to be all set to achieve a solid 3rd position, with a 2.2 second gap from the car in front going into the final 3 laps. However the car seemed to find a second wind, and managed to put in a storming performance to win by 4.2 seconds, despite claims of corner cutting on the final lap.
Many attribute this win to sheer luck, and the car is still currently unproven at higher levels of competition.
Tried again, not working.
I checked and none of my cars have strange letters in their names.

Have you typed a strang car name or player name? If you think it could be some issue with the car files, please send the Automation export to me so I can take a look.
I found my problem. I exported every model I made, reinstalled the game, made a quick model just for testing, saved it, then I tried BRCTool and it worked.
I’ll cross my fingers the one car I made for this challenge isn’t the faulty one in the lot.
Changed my mind - looking at the charts, I think the advantage of inters is too much to forgo. Changing the numbers a bit to try to avoid getting hung up in the pits with the people using the default strategy, but that’s it.
Question… if I already entered a car. can I still change my entry to an entirely different car? or can I only change the trim of the car I entered? I know I can’t change it during the season.
ah thanks… I thought I had a nice engine/body combo but the one I just discovered blows that one out of the water.
I guess I’ll be doing a bit more testing with quite a few other options before I send in the new car so I don’t bother Der Bayer with a few dozen revisions
The car that I sent in will be a decent backup in any case.
Happy to say I’ve sent in a car. Hopefully it’ll be competitive. I’ll be interested to know what people have done, I think my engine will be a bit different than others.
