IMPORTANT:- The BMW M3 Evo is able to be used from this event onwards. http://ttrracing.com/admin/mods/ATCC91,92+93.rar and anyone is free to run the car. Anyone with the all in one pack won't need this but if you don't have it
your will need http://www.ttrracing.com/admin/mods/dtm90.rar as well which had the base files for the M3 Evo

Been some very good racing this series, and will be interesting to see how it plays out over a race distance with pitstops & strategy.

The last time we did a Sandown 500 was last year in the '1988 ATCC' series, the results were;



As a warm-up to our race, here is the 1989 Sandown 500;

Merc will be lucky to get a top 10 after last nights' crowd!

Should be a good one, the race with the 88 cars was my first. I think I had the idea of doing a 1 stopper but I couldn't make it work in the Commodore.

Is there any rules when changing cars ?

The only rule is that you can't change back to the previous car

this will be mint... lookin forward to this 1...

You can push me down the straight Shano.

There are two servers up the one with 15 slots has the BMW evo's ( two as kiwi is moving this week I'm not 100% when so I have mine up as well, i'll get Kiwi to add to his as well)

They are available here to add to your installs

I think there are some files missing for the evo as it does not come up in the game.
HDVehicle=M3evo_90.hdv ?

If I remember right, m3 EVO will destroy the merc. Top speed is equivalent to the skyline and in the draft it can follow a twr and get it in the corners. Will be good with group' driving it!

Not easy to Drive though it changes the stability of the car a heap and only has medium tyres available as it's hardest compound

Of all the TCL cars for me the EVO is the hardest to drive, but with time i think its going to be a potent weapon. Just gotta spend more time with it and massage out that oversteer haha

Diet Coke machine will begin testing soon...

Yeh I was able to get decent times out of.it groupC, but I'm incredibly hard on tyres so i couldn't make a decent go of it for the v8 vs Tcl race. You're a better steerer than me so you'll do it justice!

hmmmmm there is a brick in there I'm sure, don't know if it will be on the pace though

the Evo still isnt showing up in the game ?
Am I missing something ?

Not sure I'll have a look a bit later just got home Corty is anyone else having a drama

Do you have the dtm 90 vehicles which had other evo m3's if not that might be the problem

Works for me.....

thanks for the link mozza but i had it like months ago so eadc lol

Shano and I have a proposal for Bathurst, but we'll chat to Benny, Webber and Racer closer to the date for that one

new to sandown and chasing a setup for the skyline?

I haven't driven around Sandown with the Skyline as of yet but once I do I'll be sure to sent a setup over.

Yeah, if i remember rightly, i think the rule was you could swap cars, but never swap back to the one you left, and the first time you used the new car you didn't score points.

I generally, no matter the series or rules, like picking the one car and getting familiar with it over a season, especially as due to work these days i don't get much time other than Sunday's to jump on and have a proper practice.


I think the M3 Evo could be a proper darkhorse at Bathurst (assuming its tyre wear & fuel wear is still similiar to the normal M3?), it will make alot of time across the top and not lose as much on the straights, will make a very interesting race there.

I love the M3, but struggle with the M3 Evo, for some reason, it seems a very twitchy nervous beast.

I agree DP... I haven't cut many laps in it... But from what i did it is very nervous and quite taily.

As i haven't run much of the championship i have nothing to lose so its the EVO for me... As Racer said it could be a mighty weapon around Bathurst.

what it a competitive time?

also, the server keeps timing out and wont let me in?

grunter67 wrote:what it a competitive time?

any times in the 1m13s or 1m14s will be somewhere near the front

ok, i have some work to do then, low 16's on full tanks

still cant get onto the server?

Is this race and bathurst double points rounds ?

yep

Twice as many reasons to shove you into the sand mate

Haha. I practiced pushing shano off at the end of the back straight the other night with great success... I'll use it in the race too, cos Sierra's are driven by poofs

Race Server is up and running guys

Did some practice last night Tried out the Evo M3 but just couldn't tame it so back in the merc for me.

I'm off the pace badly in the merc only managed to finally get into the high 15's on my last lap of the night but could consistently lap in the low 16's in race trim. But getting great tyre life probably due to lack of speed

From memory I had the Evo doing low 13s last week.
Would of driven the Evo for sure if it was available at the start of the championship.

I didn't realise a computer game championship meant so much to people lol.

LOL well the trophy offer still stands to whoever wins as i stated at the start..

and since the creator of this pretty awesome series has popped back into the scene maybe he mite decide to throw a few laps in for the for the enduros or the final.... at the end of the day as mozz says its a computer championship but it does create some good racing and some good bitch fights................ LOL
