One of GeneRally's last non-login series - TouringCup - will be back in 2016. Here is the ruleset:

Long Distance (12km; 3 AI)

6km - deadline Saturdays (except Australia and India)
12km - deadline Sundays

Deadline for both days is until 20:00 CET

Points Overall:
6km: 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1
12km: 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1

Fastest lap:
6km: 3-2-1
12km: 6-4-2

I really don't like this idea of stages I prefer the system with 2 races on one track to be hinest, but okay, your decision

Me too.

The mini-tours could be on a single track, but in this way only 5 venues can be in the calendar

Me too. I'd prefer the 2015 system (with longer races).

I could cancel all this since a season with just 4-5 venues is impractical IMO

Since you disliked the idea of having mini-tours I've let a pool to decide which format will be better

An update - if the traditional format is kept, then the 3rd length will be shelved. However I plan, to increase the distances to 6 and 12 km.

In a democratic way it was decided that the GR TouringCup will keep the traditional 2 run system. However unlike last year there will be some changes:

1. The two runs will form one single classification for the round. Pretty much like the alpine skiing and other disciplines based on 2 or more runs system the time winner in each round will be the one with the fastest combined time from the two rounds. The overall classification for time will be in points instead of time as some may miss 1 or more rounds in the season.
2. The short distance run (formerly Sprint race) will now be a Hotlap race without any AI. Bonus seconds are considered in the long distance.
3. There will be separate classifications for the traditional(points) classification and for fastest lap.

You may ask any questions regarding the GRTC 2016 season. The calendar will be annonced tomorow

Specifically... Where I find these cars that we can use?

Probably it will be the same cars as in previous year.

BTW. Here is my team car. One free seat available.

If someone is crazy enough to take me in their team I'm free

Otherwise I will be creating a team by my own with one place for other drivers. Or combination of both?

By the way - don't you think these cars are flying?

From where did you downloaded the car?



I'd like to invite you in my Ivaneurope Motorsports team. I'm planning to use Opel Astra K TCR (if Herbal can do it)

@up

Try this pack - it includes The Subaru, Skoda and Peugeot cars (Astra K is not made yet)
