RDTCC S6 - League Format & Info

Welcome back once again to the backbone of RaceDepartment.com. Touring car racing is what brought us all together a few years ago in beginning of 2007 for the ancestor of what now is known as RaceDepartment.com. The RPMnet.org WTCC Tournament 2007 was the first massive league we organised and is still considered as the most successful league ever by many that participated, due to the original format and the participation of over 100 drivers!

This season we see some changes. There is a mixed format, with both sprint and feature races. Also we made a change in car choice, deciding to use the "underdog" cars for this season. All great cars to drive, so the fun will be no less.

Sign Up Procedure
Interested drivers, with a licensed membership and ranking status, can apply for a place in the league but we decide who will eventually drive based on a few criteria:

driving standards
commitment
participation in previous RD leagues

This means that some people will be disappointed but that is unfortunately the downside of this system.

Sign-ups open: 9 January 2011
Sign-ups closed: 30 January 2011

Custom Skins
Having your own livery is mandatory, if you can not create your own we encourage you to ask help from the community.

Livery deadline: 13 February

Absence
This is the most important part of the league briefing you need to understand! If you are invited to drive the league we expect you to be present during all the races of the season. If you happen to miss out on an event and go missing in action afterwards without giving any notice the race staff reserve the rights to terminate your licensed member status on RaceDepartment.

We assume that you can participate all the races!

General League Rules

Eckhart von Glan · Dec 22, 2010

I only miss then LADA, my perennial favourite, nothing like driving an ugly car

Ivo Simons · Dec 22, 2010

Yup one car for the whole season.

We found this the most balanced choice.
