The most controversial ATCC series ever in existence, one of the most famous lines in motorsport "You're a pack of assh*les" comes from the Bathurst 1000 of that year when Mark Skaife and Jim Richards one the Bathurst 1000 in not a ford, or holden, but a Nissan Skyline. However, some of the greatest racing occurred in that year however as it was the last year that manufacturers such as BMW, Nissan, Toyota, Volvo, Mercedes raced in the series before it became the Ford and Holden rivalry that lasted until Nissan and Mercedes rejoined the competition this year. And Now, it's coming to TORA.

The cars are in their final stages of balancing and full car list will posted soon.

Classes:
there are 2 classes for this series are as follows (thanks to wikipedia):
Class A
For Group A cars of over 1600cc (1.6L) engine capacity, it featured the turbocharged Ford Sierras, Nissan Skylines and Toyota Supras, V8 Holden Commodores (Lotus Carltons for this), four cylinder BMW M3s and a BMW 635CSi. there are AWD cars in this

Class B
For Group B cars of under 1600cc (1.6L) engine capacity, it was composed exclusively of various models of Toyota Corolla.

class a does not necessarily have a handicap to match with class b, or vice versa, it is simply to group them easier for engine sizes

each car will have individual builds to make them equal across the calendar
this aside there are manditory parts:
Forza front and rear Aero
Race Tyre
Races Brakes
Race roll cage
A Class
Displacement upgrades allowed as long as it stays within the class builds (so no smaller than 1.6L for A, no more than 1.6L for B)
NO conversions
NO chrome rims
1993 or earlier (but car list is restricted more than that)

there will be 8 rounds for this season
dates TBA:
R1: Sedona Club Reverse
R2: Road Atlanta full
R3: Mugello
R4: Maple Valley full Reverse
R5: Mazda Laguna Seca
R6: Silverstone International
R7: Infineon NASCAR
R8: Twin Ring Motegi East
each race will be 20-30 minutes in length with 2 races for each round.*
this excludes Maple Valley Full Reverse which will be 1 1 hour race.

Qualifying:
Qualifying works similar to that of current V8SC in the way that there will be 1 15 minute qualifying session with the top 30% taking part in the Shoot Out where the lobby will be set to 3 laps and each driver will have 1 warm up lap and 1 flying lap to set a time, the 3rd lap is so times can be gathered. only 1 car will complete their shootout at a time for this.

there will be mandatory logos for this series which include a V8 Supercars logo, channel 7 logo, TORA logo and URL.
there is no mandatory number box as long as the number is clearly visible.

points system:
this series will use the actual point system used in that year:
3 to the driver recording fastest time in Qualifying
20-16-14-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 to the first ten outright finishers in each race
note: for the Maple Valley round, points will be worth 2.5 times their usual (1st 50 points, 2nd 40, 3rd 35 etc etc)


This will be updated later in the week once testing is done and everything is finalised
i really hope this gets some interest because it's a lot of fun with the different levels performance in each car and what each car bring to the table, with cars being fantastic at some tracks but average at others,
sign up will be soon if i get enough interest
thanks guys
