Race07/Evo WTCC would be my first choice, but that might exclude a number of non-Evo people.

In GTR2, I guess if it comes down to a choice between the BMW E90 WTCC mod, and the FM Civic Cup mod, I'd pick the BMW, and keep the WTCC theme alive.
There was a good WTCC track list ready to go. I haven't seen any shopping mall parking lot tracks yet for the Civic. duck... just kidding?

Hi guys and thanks for all the work in putting this together.
I am also pretty open to anything that is decided as I really like trying new cars, tracks etc.

I also saw the Civic mod but have not tried it yet and I think you can never go wrong with a solid mod containing BMW's.

Papa_K, we have been running the Skoda mod in the Ironman league over at speedracin.net and it has been a big success, bringing very close racing where momentum is everything.
We are down to our last few races and are in the process of deciding a new mod to run ourselves.

I have GTR2, GTL, Race07/GTREvo and rFactor and have enjoyed some great racing in all of them.

Stateside the GTRevo full boxed version which includes all Race07 content can be had for $20.00 so look around before you spend more than that. If you do get the boxed version just use the code to download the latest version on Steam vs. installing from the disc as there is a pretty good chance Steam will download the entire game again anyway.

Looking forward to what ever is decided and will see you on track.

Just to add my tuppence worth - Race 07 / Evo would be nice if we had enough drivers. I like the Race series a lot.

I'm aiming to, but can't definitely make the race. The change in sim / format has piqued my interest though.

And if we're doing Race 07 / Evo, let's just cut the crap and go with the Radicals!

Race 07 works for me. I prefer the "feel" of Race to GTR2 anyway.

We have a winner. There are several very good suggestions but the key is once we tried the WTCC cars it was tough to dismiss. Papa_K has come through again and found skins for more GTR2 BMW E90 cars, so the perfectly legit custom download link is ready:

http://www.simhq.net/downloads/motorsports/gtr2/SimHQ_2009_TCC_Series/WTCC BMW E90.zip

SimHQ Motorsports 5 (GTR2 servers) is up and running for practice.

We will have a race Sunday as much for testing as anything. To compensate for the late release of the carset, each driver will be able to throw out one result in the eight race series. For those who can make it, you may have a better shot at running in the points if just a few show up.

So barring any more car follies, it should be racing as usual @ 1 PM eastern time on Sunday.

A reminder. Unlike rFactor, GTR2 closes the door after Practice. You can't get in during qualifying or warmup so get there OR tell us on TeamSpeak to leave the door open for you. I'd hate to see anyone get closed out after all this.

BTW, AMKs suggestion of the 2008 Supercar Porsches... that is an excellent mod and you guys should try it. PK and I were just wanting that WTCC dicing. wink

***swears a lot*** Just been up to download the mod and do a little practice, and the game machine is dead. Turned off properly yesterday, no response to the power button this morning. Smash

I'm out all the rest of the day geocaching so unless I get a quick solution later I'll be out of this one. Was really looking forward to it as well.

***continues swearing a lot***
