RTCC - A New Touring Car Series!!!

[pasta_maldonado]

I have finished Pieter Kickert's Vauxhall and John Zimmer's Vaux...sorry, Holden. I hope you like it TMLW

[pasta_maldonado]

Calendar
Suggested Tracks so far:
Bathurst
Loch Rannoch
Zandvoort
Eastern Creek
Oran Park
Croft
Nordschleife
Brands Hatch Indy
Knockhill
Thruxton
Manx TT
Mondello
Pau
Donington
Birmingham Superprix
Lydden Hill
Goodwood

Fell free to suggest a calendar (Between 12-18 rounds please). For the races, do you think that each round should be a double-header, or one long(ish) race?

Any race(s) at Nordschelife or Manx TT would have to be 1 long(ish) race. Otherwise, double-headers would be realistic and in-period.

Ooops forgot about that I'll change it

About the Manx TT, does an end of season non-championship spectacular 24hours on the Manx TT sound good to you?

[Stramala]

As the works Nissan team, Martini Nissan Racing has the following suggestions;
Monza
Imola
Autopolis
Sportsland SUGO

Also, can all the MNR cars have their GEN string set to 20 please.

Yes, all three.

[Ferrarist]

I'll take 7,8 and 9, if they are free.

7 and 9 are free, 8 has already been taken

Then I'm gonna take 6, okay?

[Pamphlet]

Okay, this is much harder than I thought. Would anybody be willing to do the livery for my team? I have some ideas, but I'll save them for the next post so I won't seem too...demanding or anything.

Well, it's actually not too hard to paint your car and add some logos. That's how I do it at least.

[tommykl]

I don't have any time right now, so can somebody do my liveries? Sponsors (this is 1998, so hear me out): Dexia, Sabena, Belgacom, Arcelor and Petrofina (aka FINA)

Colours: blue and white

I'll do it for you if you want Pamphlet and tommykl, although a lot of people have asked me to do skins

[Stramala]

@Pasta Maldonado, I've never done an rFactor skin before so I'm not sure what every component on the PSD relates to on the car. Can I send you a ZIP of my #8 car as a test to see if I'm doing it right?

Also, how do you replace the AutoTrader logos on the headlights with something else?

Yeah sure, send away and I don't think you can , I'm afraid

[East Londoner]

I think I'll nab two of the remaining entries whilst I can.

Team name: The Good Will Out (Race You)
Team nationality: Yorkshire

Driver 1: Richie White
Nationality: English
Aggression: 90
Composure: 3
Speed: 5
MinSkill: 2

Driver 2: Florence Briggs
Nationality: Welsh
Aggression: 82
Composure: 4
Speed: 3
MinSkill: 3

The team will use Volvo S40s, with Richie White running numero 45, Florence Briggs running numero 46.

Livery: Erm, white, with major sponsorship from Nestle, advertising the Yorkie chocolate bar on the bonnet and roof of the car. The rest of the advertising space will be used to advertise 'the new Oasis', which was of course the Yorkshire based band Embrace. Advertise their debut album 'The Good Will Out' on the doors of the car. On the back boot, a provactive statement (if allowed by the governing body) from the band, simply stating 'The Verve are shite'.

Now, could some kind sir on the forum whip this livery up?

Of all the 1990s Britpop bands, The Verve are the only one that I dislike, because they were so bloody depressing/boring. Richard Ashcroft being a complete dick didn't help either

And that's the entry list closed.

Der offending statement will be blanked out and replace with ein message saying "Bathplug off The Verve".

I'll tackle the livery for you EL, but there's a big queue of liveries for me to do before testing begins...

[Stramala]

John Cleland Test Livery (incomplete) - this includes custom windows, please test these too!

[Pamphlet]

I'll do it for you if you want Pamphlet and tommykl, although a lot of people have asked me to do skins

Leave mine for last or something then and I'll see if I can come up with anything in the meantime.

Colors: White or light gray + something purple-blueish (not too dark, but somewhat dark). Style is up to you. Names, numberplates etc can be placed wherever.
Sponsors: REDECARD (title, may or may not update my team name to add REDECARD to it as well, making it "REDECARD Astral Motorsport" or something) and one of the following: Dyonyx, Suncorp, MediaCom.
Extras (optional):

• Sutherland: Small white wings, one on each side of the car. Emphasis on small. Shape is probably something like this, only longer and narrower (not as tall). And whiter. And with the inner black lines being light gray or something. Again, it's optional and it's a small detail. Add them wherever you'd like - my ideas would be either making them "sprout" from the back of the numberplates, or making them even smaller and putting them at the very front (but not on the hood) or at the back.
• Gheorghiu: Personal sponsor - Connex. That is, if personal sponsors were allowed back then.

[Nuppiz]

Well, why not? Seeing that it's 1998, I can't enter crash-king Nick Nurmester who was 10 back then (unless you consider his F1CC exploits canon), so I'll try to figure out something else...

Nurminen Engineering

#91 Volvo S40
Nathan Nurmester (elder half-brother of Nick)
AGR: 100 (it's all or nothing!)
COM: 1 (see above)
SPE: 6
MIN: 3

#92 Volvo S40
Nikolai Nurmovitsch (later known for his exploits in REECS)
AGR: 50 (if he was calmer than this, you'd think he was dead!)
COM: 6 (see above)
SPE: 2
MIN: 2

I will make liveries in the next few days.

E: Dammit, I thought there were still four entries left, and East Londoner took two so that there would still be two more left. Oh well, consider this to be a reserve entry in the case of someone failing.

Alright Nuppiz, Hermann Mann said he'll let you in . After all, the more the merrier! What nationality are Nathan and Nikolai?

[Nuppiz]

Nurmester is British (he decided against using a Finnish license, unlike his brother), while Nurmovitsch is Russian (from the area which Finland lost in WW2).

[pasta_maldonado]

Right, that's all the entries filled. I still need race numbers for Sweetcorn Motorsport, Taiwan Motorsport and Prism Motorsports

Oops sorry kostas, had taken the images earler but got caught up in something with the Prism motorsport skin and the windows.

[Stramala]

That helps. Thanks. Still needs a lot of work!!

Also, why do the logos on the windscreen automatically get blacked out?

[pasta_maldonado]

I don't know, I'm working on that. I've been for a drive and you can see the inside decals, so I reckon it must be the settings

[pasta_maldonado]

Here's the Prism Motorsports skin, hope you like it Warren_Hughes





Still need those numbers though Warren_Hughes

[Warren Hughes]

The livery's nice, could you switch the designs on the bonnet and the roof though please? I'll take any numbers you want to give me.

Also, I think Kostas will find that Prism, while not a full works entry, does have a degree of manufacturer support from Nissan, meaning Martini is not the exclusive Nissan works team

Okay, wilol do. Will numbers 4 and 5 do?

NISSAN ANNOUNCE RTCC ALLEGIANCE
Nissan have today announced that they will be backing Martini Racing as their works effort in the Rejects Touring Car Championship. Nissan, who also supply Prism Motorsport, upstart squad Sweetcorn Motorsports and Taiwanese effort Taiwan Motorsport, say the Italian squad is just what they were looking for. "Here is a three car team, confident, with tht funds to last in this series" said a Nissan spokesperson. Sources from Martini Racing, which will now be know as Martini Nissan Motorsport, described the deal as "unbleivable". How will results fare with the Il Barone Rampante-backed squad? Nissan did however announce that MNR will not receive undivided attention, Prism motorsports will receive a degree of factory help

Phoenix, Hermann Mann says he'll let you race, but he wnts 12 crates of Jagermeister, a free Audi, and some new lederhosen

About the Manx TT, does an end of season non-championship spectacular 24hours on the Manx TT sound good to you?

Rockingham Oval - wish I had thought of that - that'll be epic. And a 24-hour non-championship Manx race sounds like Douglas's dream come true. Would this be addition to BCS's proposed round 9? Either way, Douglas will be over the moon! (PS I love BCS's calendar.)

[Warren Hughes]

Numbers 4 and 5 will be fine thanks. Also the whole Nissan factory thing is exactly what I was expecting. Martini the works team but Prism receiving some factory support
