Update theme: Classic Touring Cars
(Topic made based on earlier post)
I would like to see an update themed around (you guessed it) classic touring cars. To be more specific Group2-racing and GroupA-racing. These regulations were used globally and seen in series such as DTM, ETCC, BTCC, JTCC and ATCC.
The cars are always a blast to watch racing and they just look and sound so good!
I would love to experience these cars in FM and an update themed around these cars, instanly adding 5+ of them in an update (and more in the future ofcourse) seems right to me!
Although Group A is an evolution (and replacement) of Group 2 and in period they didn’t race together, nowadays they are raced together at classic events. With a bit of BoP magic, they should be able to do the same in FM. This opens the possibility to fill a class with cars from both rulesets.
An example of a race with a mixed field of Gr.2 and Gr.A:
To learn more about these classes, check out the Wikis, they also show cars that are homologated and raced for these classes (pretty much all of these are already available to vote).
Weekly themes
For the weekly themes there are some possibilities:
- Group 2 specific
– A limited selection of just Gr.2 cars - Group A specific
– A limited selection of just Gr.A cars - Old vs new
– Gr.2 vs Gr.A vs Forza TC - Pre 66 touring cars
– Not the focus of this update, but still related and doable with cars in the game (see this suggestion for ideas) - Forza TC
– To show how these cars have progressed - Road spec
– Racing the road going versions of the cars, with a limited selection of the cars that are also available as race spec - Road vs race
– Showcasing the differences between the road going versions and the full on race cars
Each of these themes is usable in Career (which should permanent) and Featured Multiplayer.
Be sure to vote on them with the Group2-racing and GroupA-racing tags!
Got more ideas? Let me know!
