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.

SEAT claims its first victory!

On August the 30th the fourth Semi-Final was held at the circuit of Oschersleben in Germany. After two breathtaking races Roman Meier came out as winner and became the first non-BMW victor in V-WTCC.

V-WTCC Nordschleife Wildcard Competition in GTR Evolution!

In the last online ranking competition of V-WTCC the 16th seat for the Final at Monza will be given away. Drivers can take the Chevrolet Extreme out on the Nordschleife in SimBin’s newest game ‘GTR Evolution’. Be part of the action and win a Chevrolet HHR!
From Monday 8th till Friday 26th of September the V-WTCC will be open for one final ranking period. This time drivers will exchange their WTCC cars for the Chevrolet Lacetti of the WTCC Extreme class and attempt to set fast laptimes at the historic Nordschleife of the Nürburgring.

On September 26th the doors close and the ranking freezes. The fastest driver on the ranking will win one of the sixteen spots in the V-WTCC Grand Finale at the circuit of Monza, Italy, held on the 4th of October. The numbers two and three will also get a ticket to the Finals as back up driver, in case one of the other finalists is prevented from showing up. The winner of this Grand Finale wins a customised Chevrolet HHR with LPG installation.

To participate in this competition there are a few requirements for drivers to have:
- The latest version of Steam (download here)
- A copy of the game GTR Evolution (get it here – note: both Full Game and Expansion Pack are valid to participate in this competition)

How to sign up:
1) Start GTR Evolution
2) Go to Main Menu > World Ranking > V-WTCC > Register/Servers.
3) There you can enter the servers and give it your best shot!

Good luck in the final ranking period of this season!

Nice on Bram!
Sounds like its gonna get fast and busy out there on the Nordschleife ... :thumb:

Is the leaderboard live as it was in the past?
I did literally just two laps in early hours of this morning (1am or something), but my time is not up there ...

Luckily it wasn't a superhuman effort (6:45.xxx), but seems there might be some problems with the timing ... as I had no steam errors, etc to suggest otherwise.

 

[Günthar Rowe]

it won't be me, but I'll have a bash. Very cool

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Lee, yes it should update live. Can you remember what server number you were on ?

 

[Lee Downham]

For some sad reason I know for definite it was server no 1 ... :shocked:

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Can somebody please set a lap and reproduce the problem Lee pointed us at?
