WTCC 2006/2010 official championship

Super Nova · Nov 14, 2021

I would like to redo the official championships.
The 2006 and 2010 WTCC arent present. It seems to me that we could find the .bch files of these 2 championships at the time on nogripracing. Any ideas? Thank you

Thanks again Andreas but it doesn't work despite having renamed it .bch it is still associated with .txt. I think you are wrong for the 2006 WEIGHTPENALITES.
For me, it's:

[WEIGHTPENALTIES]
Initial=20
Maximum=80

SecondPlace=30
ThirdPlace=20

Probably you have hidden file extensions? So the file in reality gets named ".bch.txt"
I just copied some other weight penalties, probably 2007

Indeed in property / details my file is named WTCC_2006.bch.TXT

ok it works, i just had to change the filename extension. Thank you very much Andreas. Yes for me the 2006 season wtcc the difference is just: Initial = 20 Maximum = 80

Handicap weight system revised

The World Touring Car Championship will use a revised weight penalty system next season - with the ability to lose ballast from the minimum handicap weight.

Is there also a way to manually select the Opponents and Cars i want to have in the championship? I would mainly like to race against manufacturers teams.Thx again

AndreasFSC · Nov 16, 2021

Only by making/manipulating a saved championship file and load it as a saved championship file from
...\Documents\SimBin\RACE 07\UserData\*YOURUSERNAME*\Championships\Official

For it to work there should also be a "real" championship with similar name in
...\Steam\steamapps\common\race 07\Gamedata\Championships\Official

ie
real championship file: BTCC_1994.bch
saved championship file: BTCC_1994 anynameyouwant.bch

It can be a little bit tricky, if there is an error in the saved championship, the game will treat it as completed and will not load it.

The saved championship file can look like this (I used a '94 season as an example):

OK. So for example for the WTCC _2006 I have to create the .bch, then start the championship then leave during the free practice and then go to modify the opponents of the new .bch? At the beginning I just wanted to move the opponents' files that I don't want elsewhere so that the game couldnt load them. How does the game work when I have 24 opponents on the track and 30 in the class, its random? Thx again

The game will create the save file or you can create it yourself using my template above with necessary changes to class, tracks opponents etc.

CurrentRace=0 to start from the beginning of the championship, and be sure there are no points saved for you or your opponents.

When creating a championship in the game I think the game favors the best drivers , but with some randomnes.
FactoryWeight= in .car files probably plays a part in this.
I think higher number (range 0 - 1.0 (?)) means more "important" car.

Super

, Thank you very much Andreas I just tested I was able to modify my opponents with your technique. Now it's time for the championship I also installed WTCC 2006 AFSC Tinytweak and the Crewchief plugin. Lets go
