hi can someone confirm that when it says full front and rear tire width it means the widest tires on offer, ? thanks..

Yeah that's correct (if you don't your car will be under the listed PI).

From what I'm hearing the Honda has a major advantage around most tracks, is this so and will it be regulated to balance the performance if so?

hopefully nothing changes been putting the hours in with my honda finding best settings for my driving style, finally nailed a good set up best lap of 49:440 sec's, probably not the fastest lap time but before i spent time tuning i was running at low 51's.

The Honda has been pegged a bit with the first set of BoP.
We're confident there's a mixture of tracks that will suit all cars

So the Honda got a BoP adjustment ? and if so to what new build and PI.

No, the BoP that was done initially to produce the settings above
There's no new build for now.

Am I right to assume tuning is allowed?

Tuning is allowed yes. The car build must be as above but tuning/set up is free.

The build rules do not include rim changes yet some media pics show coloured rims which I thought was not possible with the stock rims. Are we therefore allowed to change rims as long as there is no weight difference so they can be painted?

Stock wheels can be painted. Cannot remember if that was the case on FM5, but was possible on the last Horizon game.
Rim/wheel changes aren't listed in the Build lists, so they aren't allowed

PLEASE TAKE NOTE: 
After extensive testing by members of the TORA community, we have found one version of the Honda Civic WTCC is more dominant than the other, thus resulting in its removal. During the same testing, the extra grip in the full tire widths on the BMW was found to be excessive. Please view the new build for the BMW in the first post of thread.  Drivers who have signed up for the #5 Civic are asked to transfer your work on the #2 Civic. Entry List entries will be updated accordingly.  We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause; our aim in this change was to create the best competition possible.

The bmw is nowhere now, passed by pretty much everyone

The bmw is just stupid slow now! Befor i was always in the 48.2 almost everyevery lap. Now i can only manage a 48.7 MAX when i nailed a lap. Please just put the bmw back to how it was. It was fine then but now it is just slow a horrible to drive

Amen! The only car that struggled to pass me tonight was a civic... Other than that, everyone just flew passed and I didn't even bother trying to stop them... I even took to trying out for formula drift in race 2 on the final lap as everyone was cruising as AI... I didn't make the cut unfortunately... Not enough power

This is getting frustrating now highest BMW is 20th and the top 20 are all Mercedes or Honda don't you think the BOP should be re adjusted

The Honda should definitely be out! The merc can't keep up with it! It's stupid fast! The BM was competitive before it was reduced,

Top 20 after 2 rounds are actually:

8 Honda
5 Mercedes
3 Toyota
3 Audi
1 BMW

FYI, my team mates and I have tested the other cars too and the Audi was quick enough to take pole at Lime Rock (53.2 in testing) and the Audi and Merc can go quicker at Road Atlanta than the Honda. Two rounds isn't really enough data to make BOP adjustments IMO.

I mean championship standings and the BMW has been slow in both and the Mercedes and Honda have walked off with it

The highest placed BMW is P20. I think that is deserved of a BoP change, unless you're willing to prove otherwise by using it.

The BMW needs updating it is very down on the straights and loose.

You guys have chose the Honda and it is OP as [Censored] I would love to see you guys in the BMW attempting to best the civic. The closest was haydie in the Mercedes which is expected.

Don't disprove something unless you've tested it from the new regs which are quote crap for that BMW

Think you may be looking at the wrong table Mike, the top 20 overall championship standings are below:



8 Honda
5 Mercedes
3 Toyota
3 Audi
1 BMW

Worth noting that without the 4 CQR entered Honda's, there would be just 4 Hondas in the top 20...

Exactly no BMWS at all

The only reason you don't want to change it because cqr are leading the chamchampionship. It's like in a marathon you want running shoes but you want everyone else to have flip flops
