  CarsOdee O4 | Big and bulky, the O4 suffers from a weight disadvantage but makes up for it thanks to its Quattro 4WD system, which has helped this car win numerous touring car championships across the world. A demon starter and unbeatable in the wet. | Bavarian 320i | The Bavarian powerhouse is the only rear-wheel-drive Super Tourer in the field. Despite the inevitable weight penalty, a solid all-rounder that can suffer from one or two problems. Tyre wear could also be an issue. | Fford Fondeo | The Fondeo is a firm favorite among Super Touring fans.

Fast, and better reliability than its predecessors. | Hinda Accordian | 2nd generation Japanese racer that is known as the fastest of the group in terms of straight line speed. Does suffer from rear grip problems and can perform poorly in wet conditions. Rock solid on reliability. | Pogo 406 | French saloon at the peak of its life as a touring car. This German-run version of the car won the manufacturer's only Super Tourer title in the STW that year.

Grid determined by results in the Sprint Race. | | March 8thMonza Sprint | Monza, Italy | One of the world's most famous race tracks the Italian circuit is essentially a collection of long straights punctuated by a series of very tight chicanes.

Grid determined by results in the Sprint Race. | | May 17thSnetterton Sprint | Snetterton, England | The site of a former airfield, Snetterton is dead flat, save for the mysterious dip at the Bomb Hole, but what it lacks in climbs it makes up in speed, with Britain's longest straight - the appropriately named Revett Straight.

Generic Supertouring Racing Strategy GameThe Supertouring era produced some of the most exciting racing ever. During the 1990s, the BTCC was one of the most popular series in the world, with grids full of manufacture teams, and close racing. The regulations were popular all over Europe and beyond, and the carset here has an international flavour to it, representing the many series run around the continent, although is run with rules from the BTCC.

<b>Pitstops</b>
In most pitstops 2 tyres are changed. There are a few ways to change tyres such as Fronts, Rears, Working Side or All Tyres. Some combos makes the car quicker, others make it easier, and some depends on the circuit. 4 tyre pitstops will obviously take longer, so choose wisely!
When the weather changes and wet tyres are needed all 4 tyres are automatically changed.
Pitstops must be taken within the pit window at each track. The window is between 15% and 70% of the race distance, and your scheduled stops must take place within this period. You will not react to a safety car if that would involve you making the stop outside of the pit window, and also, any unscheduled stops for damage or weather changes taken outside the window must be in addition to the scheduled stop inside the window.
<b>Upgrades</b>
Due to Supertouring regulations there are no chassis upgrades, but common engine and tyre upgrades.
<b>Carset Advancement</b>
To maximise the racing and keep the carset a reasonable length, the qualifying and sprint race will advance at the same time, so make sure that you have a sprint race strategy and driving style set before qualifying. Once the sprint race has taken place, you have the chance to improve your setup, and set a strategy for the feature race, making sure that you make the correct calls on which tyres to change. Qualifying starts off with a 30 minute session to set the grid for the feature race, followed by a single lap shootout to set the grid for the sprint race.
Your six sets of tyres will last the entire weekend, and will not be replaced after the qualifying and sprint race.
