V-WTCC by SimBin Studios and Eurosport Events

Danny Pattiwael · Mar 21, 2008

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.

But now pole on Brno! I've got big respect for Mathieu. So sad he disconnected during the brand cup races

How are those guys so freakishly fast, 2:07 on brno is out of this world. It's probably braking distances like Gregger showed us, the BMW can really exploit that.

I think I'll try. Brno is too far, too expensive and too soon for me.
So I think it is better to try again to qualify for Honda Cup Race at Brands Hatch.
Have to work hard for it

I have to see, how the Brno Semi Final will end for me

Brands Hatch qualy starts today!

This weekend, Sunday the 8th of June to be precise, the online qualifications for the 3rd Semi-Final open. For the first and possibly the last time this season the V-WTCC Ranking and the Yokohama Independents’ Trophy Demo Ranking open on the same track. Brands Hatch, located in Kent just outside London, will play host to the events.

With a new ranking period starting new rumours and speculations fill the air. In both previous V-WTCC Ranking periods Mattieu Prevot claimed to the top spot, both in the BMW and the overall Ranking. However, in neither case he reached the Semi-Final. Will he manage this time?
The third time is the charm, they say…

After the Brno qualifications the respect towards Demo drivers has grown as well as the expectations regarding their performances. Since they stunned spectators with their outstanding performances in the Brno Brand Cup Races (most noticeably Viktor Szabo, who reached the Semi-Finals from through Demo) more eyes have focused on the Yokohama Independents’ Trophy, in which the level of performance has grown higher than previously expected.
Who will spring from the surface this time?

The V-WTCC Ranking is open from 8 – 27 June
The Yokohama Independents’ Trophy Demo Ranking is open from 8 – 24 June.

Join and claim your ticket to the Semi-Finals!
