Welcome to the world of 1980s touring car racing Remember to reload the LUA and/or restart the game and clear cache if you run into any issues :) Features - Overview - - 2 Door LeGran with new coupe body - Custom Historic Hirochi Raceway map - 32 configs - 4 street/temporary circuits - 25 AI races - Allowing for up to 20 cars (all with unique builds/liveries) - 17 new liveries - Turbo I4 LeGran engines - Realistic 80s racing tires - Center lug wheel hubs added to all of the '80s cars - New 17x10 rear wheels - Dynamic window nets - Custom aero parts for downforce balancing (both visual and physical) Spoiler: The Classes - Touring Car C - Previously known as Gen1, the early 1980s touring car scene has been renamed and slightly restructured, but it keeps the same spirit of lightly modified production cars. Featuring no more than racing suspension in the way of racing parts, these cars were the best way for manufacturers to show off what they were made of in the performance department. Looked back on fondly for its close, low-power racing and street car origins, the TCC class of 1983 is what started the boom of tin top racing for the decade. Touring Car B - Previously known as Gen2, these cars see no P/W change from their previous mod iteration, but have been overhauled in terms of tuning and builds. Arguably the most competitive class of the 80s with a perfect mix of vehicle variety and handling difficulty whilst keeping the cars grounded to vehicles that the every man could actually buy; something that could not be said about the TCA cars later in the decade. (The TCB class has had the most tuning work put into it; I recommend these for any online racing) Touring Car A - Previously Gen3, this class has had its boost turned up even further than before, with the limits on acceleration rate now falling square onto the grip of the tires, not the power of the engine. With full homologation specials running rampant, 400+hp engines, and costs spiraling out of control, the end of the 80s was a good time for touring car racing, but it was always going to meet its end sooner rather than later. If you are a Beam MP server and want to race these cars, feel free! Also, please let me know, I'd love to see how the racing goes and maybe join in If you want the regulatory PDF to build your own cars, send me a DM - Spoiler: The homologation specials - 1986 Bruckell LeGran Sport TI RWD : - The first true homologation special for touring car racing; this vehicle created a shift in the touring car landscape that would turn into an earthquake 1987 Soliad Wendover Sport RS 3800 RWD : - Following in sister company Bruckells' footsteps, the Sport RS 3800 was a way for Soliad to gain prominence in the European market with a unique RWD luxury coupe. 1989 Ibishu Pessima 2.0 GTT - Reviving the GTT name from the days of the Miramar, this was Ibishus's foray into the homologation special wars. 1989 Bruckell LeGran Grand Sport TI RWD : - After the brick-shaped 4-door Sport TI Bruckell went back to the drawing board and debuted the swoopy Wendover-based 2-door coupe offering for the 1989 season 1990 Soliad Wendover Sport RS 4400 V8 RWD - With an extra year of development for the more relaxed homologation requirements instituted in the late 80s, Soliad went the large displacement naturally aspirated route. 1990 Okudai Special - Unwilling to give up the Covet platform, Okudai registered as a manufacturer for the 1990 season and built the bare minimum production cars needed to go racing 1990 Ibishu 200bx GTz Turbo RS - Ibishu of Europe was the first to debut the new BX with its radically sporty shape and giant rear wing. It was certainly controversial for its era. 1992 Ibishu Diana GTT - After hitting development snag after development snag, the 1992 Diana GTT with its AWD system and slick aerodynamics put the final hit on an already dying touring car series. Spoiler: The Custom Tracks Historic Hirochi Raceway - A peak back to Hirochi Raceway before the modern layout. This is a very challenging track that is both incredibly high speed and incredibly punishing. Norte Street Circuit - A bumpy and tricky yet also fun circuit nestled into the town of Norte in Italy. Known for its tough elbows-out racing and large track blocking crashes, this race is always action-filled. (If you have AI issues, read the mission description) Uptown Street Circuit - Crafted into the hills of Chinatown in Belasco, the UpTown circuit was the precursor to the permanent facility that now sits just outside of town Italy Seafront Circuit - The direct replacement for the Norte course as the cars got faster and outgrew the small Italian streets in both safety and size. The Airport course is known for its incredibly high speeds and tricky braking zones Port Metric Street Circuit - Ran for only a few years as an interim between the UpTown circuit and the permanent circuit that was to open in 1990. The Port Metric circuit is known for its fast chicane and tight hairpin turn the most. (You WILL have AI issues if you do not read the mission description) Spoiler: The Races AI Racing Info - The AI in this game sometimes struggles depending on the car and track combo. Always keep an eye out for something unexpected and give them more space than you think they need. I have tried my best to make them as mistake-free and competitive as possible with extra grippy AI tires (in white tire lettering), but they are not and will not be perfect. If you find them far too easy, I recommend increasing your tire pressure or going onto a worse compound, such as sport tires. The Sprint Championships - There are 3 unique championships of 6 races each as part of this mod: the 1983 season (TCC), the 1986 Season (TCB), and the 1989 Season (TCA), all 3 with 10 and 20 car versions depending on what your PC can handle. All championship scoring will have to be done manually for now Endurance Races - Fitting with the seasons, there is one endurance race for each of the groups of cars (TCC, TCB and TCA). In these endurance races, you will always start with a deficit and will work to make that time back up as you race past and around slower AI traffic cars. Spec Races - In addition to the multicar Touring Car Races, there are 6 spec races; 3 for the slower introductory Covet Cup and 3 for the faster and hard to drive Bolide Challenge (the AI will have problems with these sometimes) Mods to complement this pack: My Xero parklands and Lonestar Speedway map (needed for 6 races) Luuk’s drafting mod for more fun AI racing Luuk's performance mod to run all 20 AI cars better The LTCC Group A Touring Car Pack for more 80s touring car goodness with more racing parts and more liveries (The cars are also remotely compatible if you want to take one of these against the AI) Thanks to these people for helping: Madi for the BMV, Ibishu Quattro, AID, Toxace, and both Wendover liveries. He is also the one who encouraged me to add liveries in the first place. Overall, he did a top job and deserves a ton of credit for the great liveries he made. The modding for dummies discord, as always, because I’m a dummy who’s modding. GOMAN for helping me bug test and walking me through Jbeam + Blender for the LeGran Coupe CreeperTimo for doing a lot of bug testing and helping me find issues My amazing community for being supportive and going racing online with these cars to test them out. Where you can find me: The easiest and best way is my Discord for all of my modding projects here: https://discord.gg/HhUk3kYTet (We also do online races every Saturday!) (Also x2, the quickest way to get bug reports across to me.) YouTube/Instagram: Track_Broseff By Carrier Pigeon: Somewhere in Western North Carolina If you experience issues: Potential issues and how to fix them: AI being funky in races = Disable all base game pathing in the area Wheels not spawning for the TCA cars = Ctrl+L and respawn the car Tires not applying correctly = Ctrl+L and respawn the car How to support me: Downloading my mod is already a huge support, as my goal is to make something that people enjoy and can let them escape the world, even for just a little bit. If you want to support me monetarily and get early access to future projects, support me on Kofi here - https://ko-fi.com/trackbroseff I also might have a few paid mods you like the look of, such as the Panorama Mission pack. Seriously, from the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who has read this far and even considered downloading my mod. It really means the world to me <3
Hey, just a heads up, on the 20 car 1983 Armadillo National, half the cars crash into a concrete wall.
