Before installing remove old "ETCC_2003" folder from "Gamedata\Teams"

PLEASE. If you want to filter cars, you should temporarily remove/replace "ETCC_2002" folder from "Gamedata\Teams" (if you have it ofc)

This mod contains all 2003 season cars and new sounds

Version 1.5.4: (maybe the final update)
1. Reworked BMW Sounds. I was finally able to make them sound like s2000 cars and not like STW. Now I think these sounds are very similar to the real ones

Version 1.5.3:
1. Scuderia Bigazzi Team Alfas now run 5-speed H-pattern 2002 gearboxes (thanks to TL98_RD)

2. Seat Toledo Cupra now a lil bit slower but still good enough to beat BMWs and Alfas. This is an attempt to simulate the real behavior of the Seat Toledo's in 2003 season: less powerful engine and slightly crude suspension

3. Due to the weakening of Seats, Jordi Gene and Frank Diefenbacher talent files were tweaked. Now their laptimes are much closer to real ones

Version 1.5.2:
1. Honda Civic Type-R handling tweak
- According to the results of testings, it was decided to slightly increase the understeer of the Honda due to reliable info of it's "weird chassis"

2. Magny Cours BMW AI tweak
- AI settings were tweaked again to make BMWs 0.1-0.3 seconds faster in qualifiyng

3. Brno FWD AI tweak
- AI settings were tweaked to make Alfas, Seats and Honda's a bit more competitive on Brno

4. Talent files tweak
- According to the results of testings, Jorg Muller or Andy Priaulx won 8 out of 10 championships. Now Gabriele Tarquini win 5 out of 10 championships (other 3 won by Jorg Muller and 2 by Andy Priaulx)
- Roberto Colciago now slightly faster


5. All tracks now have real-life fastest lap record info

Version 1.5.1:
1. Hondas' interior now left-hand sided, just like it was irl (big shout out to elmatoninteligente & raul_ninja)

2. '02 BMW starting sounds are changed to those from Race: The WTCC game. Slightly tweaked ofc

3. '03 BMW wipers now working

4. Trackpacks were tweaked (AIWetGrip and RoadWetGrip). Part 1 and Part 2

5. Jordi Gene and Frank Diefenbacher' talent files were tweaked. Now they are a bit slower on wet tracks


Version 1.5:
1. All Alfa Romeo interior windows were tweaked due to bad reflections

2. All drivers received proper helmet skins

3. Magny-Cours road textures updated for better visibility (download trackpack part 2)

4. Magny-Cours AIW and GDB was tweaked (AI was too slow)

5. Tweaked BMW AI car settings on Magny-Cours 2003 again

Version 1.4:
1. All BMW skins have been reworked due to small errors in shading

2. All cars now have ModelID's so you can filter them

3. Talent files:
- R. Colciago should be a lil bit more aggressive
- D. Müller should be a lil bit more consistent during the race


4. Tweaked BMW AI car settings on Magny Cours 2003. Should be slightly faster and much more consistent

Version 1.3:
1. New BMW e46 '03 front bumper
- Side vents a bit higher
- Front lip now thicker
- Every '03 BMW livery has been updated


2. Volvo S60 windows have been tweaked for better compatibility with custom shaders (testing required)

Version 1.2.1:
1. Honda Civic Type R dash:
- Tweaked RPM lights range
- Display now shows all default parameters (brake temp, tire temp, oil/water temp, rpm, laptime and gaps)
- All MOTEC parameters were repositioned for better visibility


2. Honda suspension physics:
- Fixed rear anti-roll bar stiffness (was too soft)
- Adjusted center of mass for less understeering
- Fixed default tire pressure. They were deflated :D
- Adjusted default fast/slow bump and rebound parameters. Now AI slightly faster when going over the curbstones


3. HOTFIX
- FIXED. On no-addon version of the game, Volvo S60 had no rearlights

Version 1.1:
1. Sounds:
- BMW 320i e46 '03 new external sounds
- Fixed BMW 320i e46 '02 external "onveryhigh" sound


2. Fixed:
- James Thompson's number now 56 (was 12)
- Nordauto Team Alfa Romeo's rims color now: dark grey
- Scuderia Bigazzi Alfa Romeo's rims color now: dark gold
- Pro Motorsport Honda's rims color now: dark grey


Version 1.0:
1. Sounds
1.1 Slightly edited Alfa Romeo sounds
1.2 Fully reworked BMW sounds. 2002 and 2003 models sound a bit different
1.3 Tweaked Seat Toledo Cupra sounds
1.4 Fully reworked Honda Civic Type-R sounds
1.5 New gear change sounds for all cars
1.6 New splutter, backfire and tranny sounds for all cars
1.7 New collision sounds. Much louder and much more realistic (recorded from real car crashes afaik)


2. Suspension and engine physics
2.1 BMW 320i '02 version has standard road car suspension, making it more fragile than newer BMWs
2.2 Honda Civic springs, dampers and rearwing parameters were reworked to make AI faster
2.3 Some engines have been tweaked to match the performance of their real counterparts
- Alfa Romeo 156 GTA: 264 hp at 8200 rpm, 250 Nm at 6750 rpm
- BMW 320i e46 '03: 270 hp at 8750 rpm, 230 Nm at 7000 rpm
- BMW 320i e46 '02: 250 hp at 8250 rpm, 220 Nm at 6500 rpm


3. Tracks
3.1 All track AIW and GDB files have been tweaked so AI laptimes were matching those laptimes of 2003 season
3.2 All tracks correspond to their counterparts of the 2003 season. Almost all tracks have a correct 2003 ads
3.3 Championship file with correct handicap weights included


Known issues:
- Alfa Romeo Clever Cats Team and Volvo S60 Racing Team skins missing some sponsor decals

nice mod but I have a little problem at Spa when I try to enter in the pit lane with the speed limiter activated at 60 km/h the car stops and doesn't run anymore and I can't go to the pit stop but if I enter very fast around 160 km/h the Car pits regularly but when I exit I get a stop/go penalty for excessive speed on the pit lane can you resolve this problem ? on the other tracks all pits works perfectly
