    This was brilliant. I had a boatload of fun even if race 3 felt like I was trying to guide an overweight shopping trolley through a hedge maze.

      Are you sure that's fair? The ship has a turning radius of about one kilometer at 20 knots and it's only about 1/3 of a kilometer long... (Sorry, my cousin served on it when I was a kid so it's funny how much I can remember. Just don't ask me what I had for lunch yesterday or the name of the new guy at work.)

    Was a lot of fun for each one of us except Ninetails lol shame there are no replays thanks to the game being broken because there were a lot of battles that were far from Alex, and also a lot of spectacular crashes happened because of those curbs

      We'll probably do reverse PI race at some point, but that game mode doesn't really exist in this game I don't think. Though it also didn't in FH5 (it existed but was broken and they never fixed it)

      @@DamnedSilly The platform of the Astra is Delta, not Epsilon, though.
      And researching the Epsilon platform, I found quite a few cars that seem to be more or less badge-engineered (Opel/Vauxhall/Holden/Chevrolet Vectra), while others like the Caddilac BLS or Chevy Malibu have a few features (mostly the lights front and back) that slightly set them apart from their brethren.

    In the actual BTCC, race 3 only reverses up to the top 12 not the whole grid which could stop the issues you had with ballast.

    Think you should do a championship with the format, maybe use the tcr cars as well (maybe not the golf) ballast works well and also maybe change format a bit with the reverse grid or a longer race in race one for example

    I hope that now, that Motorsport games lost BTCC license, TOCA will look at offering not-exclusive deals for cars, so we could get NGTC machines into more games. I just want controller-centric simcade which would allow me to race shitton of NGTC cars (with decent BOP) against each other.
    Was amazing fun to watch. I guess you could get to making your own BOP for closer racing in the future. Recreating IRL BTCC reverse grid might help in keeping competition more "fair" (IRL only random number of places on front of the grid are reversed). I hope there will be more real series "recreations" once multiplayer gets more stable and filming crew levels up more cars.
