TORA TCR 1992 Australian Touring Car Championship

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.

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

Give me the Ford Sierra  

NP haha
really hope this works
such variety and more than just ford and holden (funny thing is thanks to forza [grumble] there is no ford and holden of this era lol)

Sounds promising, but the Alfa GTV is in the top pic so it better be in the series

it will be
try get as many eligible cars (and ones that were used) as possible

Depending on the time and date I might have a go at a round or 2

Ditto

I would love to do this one. Do you have a time a day in mind. I remember those days those races and those cars.  

Erebus, would you be able to knock it down to 5 rounds and run it on Fridays once the Can Am series has been completed?

That would give you a decent time slot, and my help in running it.

ESCORT! I WANT IT! RIGHT NOW!  

This series looks like fun!

yes looks great but may i ask has this been through the correct channels

There's always Monday alternating with the fun cup?

Surely there is no issue with running a TCR event, Wingnut?

When we set up the TCR Fun Cup, we never had to go through any 'Channels'?

There's a form that should be filled out to submit a TCR series so it can fit in the calendar. I'm not sure if it's being fully used by all the members but as far as I know it is being implemented.

We were never told to use that form :L But oh well, if it's being implemented from now then fair do's!

i was thinking of running it at like 10pm BST, between the Minis and your series, but if that wouldn't work for people, then i could do so, depends on what suits the majority of people

ad Broom, i know, i love it too, granted i was born 3 years after this series, i still watch it because it was proper ATC with upgraded production cars, not same shell, similar engine and aero packages with different body panels
