2015 RD Touring Car Championship (Stock Car Extreme)

[Kurt Vanhee]

Are these cars also all equal to each other like the V8's?

 

[Arne Dopudja]

At first glance, i believe so. Setups are also pretty limited.

 

[shedz]

This sounds great, count me in, as long as I can stay off the beer until 7PM on a saturday

 

[Kurupt CDN]

Will this be open to all premium members as a first come first sign up basis or will the sept 12th pre qualifying determine who gets in or is it a server test?
Definitely interested!

 

[SnappyDEe]

Yeah, count me in as well. I'll be there at the pr-quali race.

 

[Christopher Vrettos]

I'm super keen to do this!

Anyone want to form a team?

 

[Arne Dopudja]

I'll be forming a team. Waiting for prequals to and ruleset to decide what to do.

After a three year hiatus the RD Touring Car Championship returns for a ninth season. A maximum of sixty top drivers fight for the championship in two competitive divisions, watched closely by a large online audience on Twitch TV and Youtube.

Are you a premium member and have a legit copy of Stock Car Extreme? Then we hope you accept the challenge to become the next Greger Huttu, Sander Hogendoorn, Attila Domjan, Roland Ehnström or Marcin Skrzypczak to name just few of the virtual racing stars that have won the RDTCC in recent years.

Introduction
Launched in 2006 the RDTCC is the leading international online touring car championship with the world’s best sim racers. Featuring all the Brazilian touring cars from Stock Car Extreme.

Points Distribution System

Liveries
A custom livery is what makes league racing special. You design your own car or let us create one for you. We have a dedicated thread for skinning outlines and questions. Please click this link to head over to the custom livery thread.

Pre-Qualification, Promotion, Relegation
Every sim racer likes to compete against opponents that have the same skill level RDTCC is always suitable for drivers of all levels so we can guarantee you the closest possible racing with drivers that match your skills.
.
There isn't a simple way to determine the driving level of an individual racer. The easiest way for us is to organize a massive pre-qualification.

The 30 fastest drivers will be placed in the first division. The drivers that finish 31 - 60 are placed in the second division. The outcome of the pre-qualification will determine the starting groups for the first race day at Cascavel. The rest of the drivers will be placed on the reserve list in finishing order.

Note: this years edition will feature a special super pole pre-qualification. You only get one shot to qualify yourself by completing an outlap, hotlap and an inlap back into the pit area.

The start grid of each event will be determined on the overall standings of the league. The first 30 drivers in the overall standings will automatically be placed in division 1 for the next race. Drivers that have the positions 31-60 will start in division 2.

Absence
This is one of the most important parts of the league briefing you need to understand! When you are qualified to race in RDTCC S9 we expect you to be present during all the races. This commitment shows respect to the league, your fellow drivers and the organization.

If you can't make it to the next race please report your absence in the dedicated thread, so we can inform a reserve driver to take over your slot.

Once you fail to show up, whether that's with a valid reason or not, you will be placed on the bottom of the reserve list for the next race and the first reserves will take over the vacant position.

General League Rules
All the general league rules are written down in a document for the 2015/16 league season. Click here to read it!

The Prize
We'll reveal the prize for this series soon, but it might be after the sign-up finishes. Foremost you sign-up because you want to race. A prize is just extra bonus.

The winner of this prize will be decided via a sweepstakes. All the drivers that complete the full season will be able to participate. The higher your finish position in the overall standings the more chances you will have to win at the final draw.

Got Questions?
A league may be overwhelming and we can imagine you are having a ton of questions. Please use the general discussion thread for all the questions you may have.
