Open spoilers to find out more from the competition. ;)

Introduction
GeneRally Touring Car Championship is a fictional touring car competition, but loosely based on FIA's World Touring Car Championship. The first season of WTCC was in 1987, with the expanding of European Touring Car Championship with rounds on Fuji, Wellington and Calder Park. However, the competition became at the end rather like a joke, and so it was discontinued. The restart was in 2005, thanks to the support of manufacturers like BMW, SEAT, Daewoo (now Chevrolet) and lately Lada.

GTCC tries to give back the feeling of real touring car races, thanks to the famous reallife circuits, the possibility of using different settings and the wide selection of manufacturers. We're going to have 10+1 rounds, each consisting a short race (10 km, time trial) and a long race (20 km, race). The essence of this competition remains: the ballast system will be still in use, this means that depending on your latest results, you will receive extra fuel mass, up to 200 kg.
My feelings and new place
I think it's enough for now from presenting words, now, let's tell a bit more from the history itself. First of all, I've missed this competition so much you can't imagine. Just things did never come out like I wished, so I had to postpone each time GTCC.

Fortunately, things are about to change. As my host will switch to paying service, I've asked Ivo to ask myself to the GRMFed team, and for this, we've decided that I should make a cleanup on the website engine, so after Ivo's instruction the website has been completely rewritten. New colors will come to the site, first on my part, with the usual green-silver combination of mine.
What's old?
These things remained from the old era: reallife tracks (of course, that wouldn't be me if I wouldn't race this compo on RWLs... :D), touring cars (however mine instead of Fechnas), points system (10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1-1 for FL), and success ballast (still defined as fuel mass, 50-40-30-25-20-15-10-5 kg per race, however you receive them doubled, as I count now them for each round). And I suppose, you too... :lol:
Sponsors
New will be the sponsorship, instead of fuel type. This will be more complex, but I can promise that it'll be fun too, and also spending more time in car editor, as I'm going to make some artistical impressions of your cars, showing your sponsors. Please, don't make my job easy, I want to play a bit between exams in June... :D

Copied from Da Rulez:
5. Team may make contracts with sponsors in time of signing up the season or before taking part in the an actual round.

6. Each team may use up to 12 sponsor points for contracting sponsors. Points are marked in the sponsor list, which is available in this link. Not all points are required to be depleted.

7. Team may spend maximally 8 of his 12 sponsor points for contracting third-classed, four-classed and fifth-classed sponsors.

8. Team earns money by fulfilling basic requirements of sponsors listed in the sponsor list (if any requests are). Team may earn additional money from his sponsors by fullfilling their bonus requirements.

9. Earned money may be spent on upgrading of team car(s) - once at sign up and twice during rest of season. The technical sheet describing options of upgrading is available here.
And about the meanings of requirements: you have to fulfill them in the next 5 rounds once you've contracted the actual sponsor. Meeting these will result in giving you money in-season, not meeting them will result in... nothing. :D Some of the wishes you may see on the sponsors list:
- color(/color/color): this means you have to paint your car with at least one of their permanent colors, but of course you don't need the whole car to be painted in those colors, for third class 2 polies, for fourth class 4, and for fifth class 6 polies for them are enough.
- car longer/shorter than x: x means the Z value in car editor.
- (nationality) car, manufacturers group/name: mostly they follow the actual ownerships, however Saab is counted still to Ford, just like MG is in BMW, and Toyota means also Subaru.
- quota time: before each round, there'll be given 3 lap times to meet, depending on the class of your sponsors ($$$, $$$$, $$$$$). This means, if the average of team members' fastest laps is faster than the quota, you get a good point at your sponsors. Meeting them enough times will result in coal rain.
- other requirements, but they are clear enough also in the sponsors list.

However, if you still have concerns about the system, don't hesitate to ask me, as it's my job. I'm more than happy to help you out, because I know how complicated stuff I did create... ;)

About the sponsors: Are they unique for a team? Some smaller company could sponsor many teams but a big sponsor would probably not be sponsoring half of the field. Intresting concept.

The story began when me and Aleksi found two rusty Lada 2110s from landfill around St Petersburg, and we even got 50 bucks from taking them off there. Then we smuggled them over the border to Finland and fixed them in garage and prepared them to take around the world in GTTC. We were a bit low on the money as we already used those 50 bucks for spares so we asked if Russian Gazprom would give us some fuel. Unfortunately they were so keen on sponsoring Petrov to race around the world in some open wheeled cars that drive in lines and don't even look like road machines! (Really, who cares about that kind of stuff?) So as a revenge we offered a giant American company McDonalds to sponsor us. Now we get free foods for racing weekends :popcorn: ! Then we made a deal with local Shell to give us fuel for a logos in our car. For a bonus, we get Airwaves bubblegums from Wrigley's for a year and free Playstations :rocks: . And some money :shhh:

AD Racing McDonalds is ready for racing! :cflag:

If someone needs blacklisted driver, I'm free.
(Salo Racing is on vacations and will miss this season as long as other Salo managers would like to join the champ or I won't be able to find another team for me)

So two different teams can't have the same sponsor? I guess we'll have to change Fly Emirates then :(

Yes, he's finalizing the requirements and increasing number of sponsors in all classes (over 150 in sum). Sorry for inconvenience, the list will be available this evening hopefully again. :(

Yep, the list will be available in the day. However the already sent entries are not valid as I had to modify existing sponsors too, and so their value changes too... The ones who posted their entries need only include me somehow the settings and the new sponsors. Apologies for the inconvenience, but Ivo pointed me out that there were some leaks in the system, hopefully they are taken out... ^^

As predicted (thanks to a good amount of tests in the next some days), I have to postpone each deadline by a week. Not a good start at all... :?
