We have arranged a Weekly Series for the new 17.5T Spec Touringcars. This Series has its own ranking, the best 8 results of your last 12 events count for this ranking. As all other rankings, this is an on-going ranking.
The 17.5T Touringcars use the same chassis as the 13.5T Spec class but you MUST use the 17.5T Spec motor.
As we could not create a complete new class for the 17.5T (too many implications for the component structure and user interface) we count on your sportsmanship to use the 17.5T motor. As you probably know the complete component set-up of each racer is listed with the results, so it can be easily checked if you are cheating. The speed difference is also very obvious, so using a 13.5T motor will surely lead to disqualification. Other racers can file a cheating protest, and after 5 such protest your results will automatically be deleted from the results.
WE COUNT ON YOUR SPORTSMANSHIP!

The All-Inclusive memberships have been changed to a different status: All-Inclusive Content Licenses. As the membership is free the all-inclusive membership was about content only anyway.
Due to the ever decreasing revenues we were forced to reconsider our membership policy in order to keep the VRC platform up and running as long as possible. With the current revenue stream we are close to break even and it won't be long until the platform cannot sustain itself any longer. As you can imagine, even without new content developments there are high costs for hosting our servers, for maintaining them with regular updates to keep up with Microsoft and PayPal platform changes, and do weekly and monthly database clean-ups. Besides these direct costs we also have quite substantial administrative costs for running VRI.
Therefore we think it is reasonable to introduce a membership fee of around €3.00 a month in order to secure the future of the VRC platform. We will introduce this on a voluntary basis first, a ma... read more
