Hello racers,
DOWNLOAD THE RACE REPLAYS HERE
After many weeks of preparation the ICON Racing team would like to invite potential participants for a touring-car race series taking part in early 2009:
The iTCC Touring Car Championship
The car used will be the FXR, air intake-restricted to 32% to give 320 BHP. This is a sequential geared car, with similar power to modern touring cars. There is scope to expand the championship to include the FXO in seperate support races, however initially we will be concentrating on the FXR class.
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.
The start of the race will be a standing (grid) start.
It is envisaged that the series will run for 6 'triple-header' rounds. That is to say, there will be 3 points-scoring races at each round - all of equal length; about 25 minutes each.
The races themselves will be available to watch via LFS Remote and ICON TV, which will be broadcasting commentated live in-game coverage. Additionally there will be replay files made available soon after the race, as well as whole race coverage video and edited highlights video, with analysis, coming after the race.
There is a TeamSpeak VOIP channel available for every race, it is envisaged that this will be used primarily as a 'Race-Director-to-Car' driver control, however, teams are free to request private 'team' channels from ICON.
As you can tell, from the work on the website, server, LFS Remote, broadcast facilities, TeamSpeak and so on, what we are trying to do is to 'hit the ground running'.
Therefore, in order to test all our procedures, admin staff, and hardware/software setups, we are inviting racers to declare their interest in the following event:
33 H. Richmond
34 Y. Laprevotte
35 J. Ward
36 P. Doležal
37 M. Mertanen
38 M. Agari
39 N. Gräns
40 I. Abbas
41 S. Moore
6 Andy Kirschetorte
Unable to attend

Also DOWNLOAD HERE for the 1024x1024 version and HERE for the 2048x2048 version - the Numberplate kit you should use when creating your skins for this race. Please download this and amend your skins. Remember to upload the finished skin to LFS World!
EDIT: As you can see, every racer now has a race number. Please make sure your race number is displayed prominently on the supplied numberplate.
Also make sure that your REAL NAME and number is displayed on your 'in-game' name tag in the format:
2 D.Zanetti (for example)

P.S. Could you also please make any constructive comments as to what or how we can improve the format of this series? Many thanks in advance for any suggestions..
P.P.S Lastly, if any of you are talented commentators, I invite you to come along and lend a hand, or should that be voice.....I will be commentating but unfortunately the dulcet tones of my North-East accent do not travel well, I fear my European friends might wonder what language I am speaking....

Reserve Drivers will race if any drivers from the initial registration list fail to turn up 15 minutes before Open Practice starts. This will be on a first come, first served basis.
