Hi racers,

Welcome to the first season of:

iTCC - The Touring Car Championship by iCON Racing Events.

This is a race series taking place in the first half of 2009, and will consist of six 'triple-header' rounds (3 races at each round). The car used will be the FXR restricted to 32%. The idea of this championship is for it be run, as far as is practical, in a similar way to both the BTCC and WTCC. This means a similar race format, with partially 'reversed' grids and also success ballast.

Timings for the race meetings will be Sundays at 1800 GMT (UTC)

Please make sure that before you sign up for this championship that you are eligible to enter.

Eligibility

To be eligibile to enter the iTCC you must be able to meet a minimum standard of outright pace - the iTCC requires that you can lap within 103% of a recognised benchmark. In this case it is Rudy Van Buren's fastest race lap from the Pre-Season meeting at Aston Grand Touring (AS6) - 2:45.22. So the time you will be required to beat is 2:50.18 (Sorry to those who signed up straight after this post, but this is the time you need to beat now - looking at your names, I know that won't be a problem)

When registering your interest in this series please submit a .spr hot lap of your racing at Aston Grand Touring (AS5)

Please submit the .spr as an attachment to your sign-up post.

Thank you to those drivers who made it to the Pre-Season meeting, the level of competition was absolutely fantastic - if we have that level of skill in the 1st season of the iTCC, this will be a great league!
