Wanted to ask the same(oh well, I did before).

The only question if I have time as you surely need some feedback from us about the car handling, right?

From my understanding it's going to be people like Ryan, Toby, and so forth that will do the testing--people that don't actually drive ATCC. I'm told even Keith won't be allowed to test these things.

But they're very tight lipped about this stuff. But luckily for you I'm a man of the people!

We are pleased to announce that Ivan Navarro will be taking over the main administration duties for the ATCC with help from myself and Keith Barrick. Ivan has plenty of experience with rFactor and has raced two past seasons of ATCC, so I'm sure you'd all agree he's the right man for the job.

So Ivan will be the 'go to' man for all your queries. Calendar dates have been finalised, and have been for some time, and track choice is well along in it's development. The mod should also be going through some beta testing from this week, and templates (many thanks to Nic Cole) have been created for some time now. Everything is on schedule.

We can announce that November 16 will be the first date for the season ahead. Once the beta testing goes successfully, which shouldn't take long, we will release the mod to you guys and have plans for at least 3 PreSeason events.

Remember we have the Virtual Mini Challenge to entertain you in the meantime!

Well, just had a chat with "The Don" and he agreed on starting RC1 testing this Friday.

The cars suspension, currently being de-tuned will be in an under-damped condition by default. Your set-up skills will be tested and influence your race results. Creating a stable set-up will get you trough a race..

Set-up reminder:

1. Camber & Pressure

2. ARB's

3. Springs

4. Compression damping

The idea is to set the compression damping forces to suit the bumps in critical areas, such as corners, corner exits and braking zones.

Increasing or lowering cannister pressure can have an influence on support under braking,

acceleration, and tire loading on turn in, and on mid-corner grip.

5. Rebound damping

The idea is to tighten up the car, stabilize the platform and eliminate the floating "Cadillac feeling". This will also reduce the rate of body roll.

6. Camber & Pressure

more info later...

Ninja'd by a loooooong way there? :?

Friday night means the night from Friday to Saturday, yes? I don't seem to be sure after all...

Diego (wolfattack) is from Brazil), so it's just Friday night for him. Doesn't matter about anywhere else in this case ;)
