RD Touring Car Championship: Round 1 at Cascavel (Livestream)

[Chris]

This Saturday September 26th marks the return of RaceDepartments' flagship Touring Car series! Sixty of the best simracers, that survived the pre-qualification, spread across two divisions will do battle around the highly challenging Brazilian circuit, Cascavel, and you will get to see every action-packed and breath-taking moment as both races will be streamed live to a PC or mobile device near you!

Be sure to visit the popular RaceDepartment Livestream Chatbox and comment on the race with tons of other like-minded members as the race unfolds before your eyes.

The Cascavel circuit is a short one at just over 3 kilometres in length, but it more than makes up for it with the astonishing turn one: a seemingly endless downhill left hander that places huge load on the front right tyre. We are sure to see many incidents here as the relative difficulty of the corner is high, requiring precision, speed and a healthy dose of commitment.

The livestream will begin at 19:00 GMT in conjunction with the start of Race 1 and will last for 30 minutes. The second race will have a full reversed grid based on the results from Race 1, so there is sure to be some chaotic action as the successors in Race 1 attempt to make their way back up the field in Race 2.

Our official Twitter hashtag for this event is #RDTCC and you can follow our account for the latest updates.

@Bram, do I read it right, that the live stream won't cover the practice and qualification this season, but only the race sessions?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Correct, both race 1 and race 2 will be streamed live. Broadcast will go online during the warm-up so we still have plenty of time to get everything working.

 

[PicoBp]

Thanks for the quick clarification!

Only the first division will be broadcasted. Both race 1 and 2 obviously.

Also, prior to the real deal, have a little appetizer! Featuring @Andrew Waring , @Niranjan and myself, battling it out for the win!

Waouh, what a fight! Thanks for posting the vid, very nice to watch! And kudos to all three, very impressive… I had already planned to watch on saturday, now there is even less chance that I forget… BTW, will there be also a replay of division 2 available? Even if it is a tad slower, that might be fun to watch as well… And it would be nice for the entrants.

Will there be a spotterguide?

 

[alexSchmurtz]

If no one is working a spotter guide, I could try to help and make one? I'm not part of the league so I'm not sure if I can… @Bram @Chris Stacey Would that be allowed?

 

[Thomas Hinss]

Really looking forward to being back in the commentary booth again with @R.J. O'Connell for this one, should be an absolute cracker of a series

Hi @alexSchmurtz I've completely overlooked your post, sorry about that.

Of course you can make a spotterguide, that would be fantastic! That's the community spirit we don't see much anymore in 2015, love it!

How about this, you do your best on a nice guide and as a token of our appreciation we'll send you a nice free premium membership in return

 

[alexSchmurtz]

All right, I'm on the spotter guide then! I'll try to get it done within 2 hours, I hope it will be early enough before the race.
@Bram , thanks a lot, that's very kind! But… I was not expecting any rewards for doing this! A couple of thank you from people finding this useful would already be more than enough…

Sorry guys, what is a spotter guide?

 

[Thomas Hinss]

Sorry guys, what is a spotter guide?

Basically a graphic which shows you each car in the series and who's driving each car

No worries, ah okay well not quite

 

[alexSchmurtz]

Sorry, it took much longer than I expected but here they are! Yes, they… I thought it would be more handy to have 3 images, one per server. That means updating them for each race, I'll do my best to do it. That also means I had to follow the last changes, I hope I'm up to date...
I also did my best to avoid any mistake but please forgive me if I misspelled your name or choose the wrong flag (I am amazed to see people from all around the world, I thought it would be nice to show that…).
