2017 RD Touring Car Championship (Automobilista)

[Chris]

The Aussie Racing Cars are coming... #HypeTrain

 

[Joseph Wright]

Ooooooh.

 

[TobiasR]

So cute

 

[Chris]

The touring cars are finally back, and for their eleventh season we'll be putting the newly released Aussie Racing Cars through their paces!

Up to 28 drivers from all over the world will compete in these micro-monsters for 12 rounds of intensely-close racing as only Touring Cars can provide! They may only produce a little over 100 horsepower, but the Aussie Racing Car's are minuscule. They're essentially a driver tightly wrapped in a roll cage with the shell of a Camaro over the top. But underestimate them at your own peril, as these things have a 1300cc motorbike engine in them, and since they weigh in at just under 600kg, the performance these little beasts provide is impressive!

Whilst this league will be run on an Australian server during Australian-friendly times, all premium members of any region are welcome to sign up and compete in this series. If you wish to sign up, please do so in the Sign Up thread after reading the information below and the info in the Sign up thread.
