V-WTCC by SimBin Studios and Eurosport Events

[Danny Pattiwael]

Eurosport and SimBin Studios are proud to announce V-WTCC, the Virtual World Touring Car Championship.
A unique motor sport concept combining the best out of two worlds: the FIA WTCC and the SimBin game RACE 07 online and on site.
During five semi-finals held at the European WTCC events, gamers will fight on site for a seat in the Grand Finale at the FIA WTCC race meeting in Monza.
Just like WTCC the virtual counterpart V-WTCC will be broadcast on Eurosport within the youth-oriented programme BUZZ.
Each round will kick off with an online pre-qualifying period and all current and future RACE 07 owners will have instant access from the game menu to the in-game registration for V-WTCC.
Make sure to stay tuned for more information about pre-qualifying and opening of the virtual paddock.

When will the V-WTCC qualifications on Valencia begin? Will the servers be available from the world leaderbord menu?

I don't want to ask stupid questions but they've forgot all the details.

Thank You.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

We didnt forgot the details and ofcourse you are free to ask them here and also on the V-WTCC forum.
The opening of the Paddock is just the first step towards stardom. So keep a close eye on the site and you will be flooded with details, servers etc etc soon

gratz to the job Bram and Yoeri ;D

 

[Mikael Larsson]

Lets see if I got this right....

At first there will be a period of qualifying. The 18(20) best of every brand will compete online to sort out the 4 best of every car. Those 4, a total of 16 will participate in a semi-final.

Those who doesn't survive the semi-final, will they be allowed to try again in another track then?
And if one driver qualify with two different cars?
