REVISED: WTCC 2010 Championship Format, Dates & Tracks

The FartCan WTCC Championship will commence this Monday night 22nd March. some very minor changes and the increase from 1 league to 2 Leagues have forced this move. Also the popularity shown by the No of entries means we will increase this to an 8 round Championship.

Skin Pack will be released here shortly


The Format will remain the same other than the way we start the night, The usual format since I started the Clan has been at 8:30pm we would have a 10 min practice. No idea why i did that anyway that's now gone for all Mods, the Servers are open 24/7 so plenty of practice time is available to all and they are open for practice up until 8:30pm on Race night.

Time Format
8:30pm Drivers Briefing
(On completion of Drivers Briefing all drivers move to thier respective League rooms on Ventrillo for Qually & Race)
8:35PM Quallifying
8:45pm 5 Min Break (allow stragglers to join)
8:50pm Start Race 1 15min
9:05pm Break 10 Min (Allow Admin to do Weights & Reverse grid)
9:15pm Start Race 2 15min
9:30pm Break 10 min (Allow Admin to do Weights)
9:40pm Start Race 3 15min
9:55pm End of Official Racing.

Drivers who wish to hang around can go to one room and do some adhoc racing or practicing. while the early starters can still be in the Burra by a reasonable time.

Parc Ferme will be used in this series, so basically when you go out for Quallifying Laps you will need enough fuel to do the Qually laps plus enough for the race, Once you've set a Quallifying time nothing including fuel can be changed before race start, this will add another dimension as drivers will have to Quallify thier cars in race trim.

Race Format

Qualifying: 10 min

RACE 2:

This will be an amazing race series, get on board and have some fun.

Sweet, great work guys.

Got a question regarding the longer races (1 x 15 min & 1 x 60 min). Is the second race in this case reverse grid, and are there weight penalties?

Yes reverse grid and weights

RS, there appears to be a date missing, next week's race, have a look at the Calender which I believe is the definitive list.

Just noticed that monday night at Imola it apears we are running 3x15mns races. With more then 2mns per lap it means will be doing just only 3 laps per race!Should we maybe run them longer or even do the enduro race?

there will be about 7 laps Zalmas each race

Just realised sorry calculated it wrog

Good stuff ... is there a permanent WTCC server available for practice ?

Yep it's up now set to Imola.

Woohoo ... these things are fun to drive

I noticed on the server it has ANTI LOCK BRAKES, TRACTION CONTROL and STABILITY CONTROL enabled. Is this the 'GO' for the series ?

in League 2 Yes , League 1 no

although these things dont really need Helpers.

Yea, Ive had a bit of a play with and without helpers, and I think the helpers actually slow you down.

they sure do!!!! Restrict your sliding!!!!!

Yeah , I guess most will run without them in L2 but they are there if they want them.

I noticed Donnington Park on the track-list, didn't we have issues with that track when we first tested this mod?

I thought that was with the Mustangs, but it's a valid point Rims I'll do some testing

I didn't think there where any problems...What were they? I do know there is a little graphic glitch where the car tilts into the road though.

I couldn't think what it was, but now I remember the dip in the track was very distracting. I thought there was another problem but we'll find out in practice in 6 or 7 weeks.

Guys can i make a suggestion to run perhaps half of the weight in the reverse grid, I thought maybe starting from 50 or 60 kg would be better for these cars as they are to hard to handle with a lot of weight and it takes a bit of fun out of the race. The V8's handle the weight ok.
We might as well race with a caravan on the back.

I've just run some laps there and it seemed fine infact good fun,, The A1 were also stable which is a good sign. Might stick it up for a day or so on the server after Imola to see whay everyone thinks, may behave differently in races. but it aint a Honda track.
