Toyota Corolla BTCC

The best of tin top racing the UK has to offer, the introduction of these two outstanding British Touring Car machines is a very welcome addition to rFactor 2, and just the very start of our quest to bring the full 2021 / 22 British Touring Car Championship field to the simulation this year. 

Initially launching today with the car of reigning champion Ash Sutton in the form of the Infiniti Q50 (V37), as run by Laser Tools Racing, and the potent Toyota Corolla of Speedworks Motorsport, these two cars are a perfect way to experience how top level touring car action can feel within rFactor 2 – and trust us when we say, these two racers feel nothing short of outstanding out on the circuit.

Infiniti Q50 (V37) BTCC 

Somewhat unique to touring car racing, the BTCC features both front and real wheel drive machinery on the same grid, which presents a very interesting opportunity for us to begin our BTCC journey with two very, very different driving experiences. Keeping the traditional front-wheel drive in the Corolla, drivers will need to adapt their driving style significantly in comparison to the more usual real wheel driven machinery found in modern motorsport. Torque steer and a need to understand how to best balance the car on brakes and throttle application will be key to unlocking the most laptime from the Corolla, whereas in the Infiniti, although a real wheel driven car, the fine line between grip and dancing over the edge of adhesion is never far from the drivers mind – which is, to be fair, a wonderful place to find yourself when you are out on the virtual racing circuits of the world.

Hyundai i30 Fastback N Performance

The Hyundai i30 Fastback N Performance is one of the most visually stunning cars in the current British Touring Car Championship field, and now you can sample all the thrills of racing this impressive touring car in rFactor 2. Featuring the team, liveries and drivers of the 2021/22 BTCC season, the Hyundai is a fantastic car in which to recreate the thrills of British Touring Car Championship Racing.

Ford Focus ST BTCC

The latest generation of racing Ford is here, in the form of the beautiful British Touring Car NGTC specification Ford Focus ST. One of the most prominent brands in the series, and a car that is more than proving up to the challenge of racing for overall victory, the Focus is an exceptionally well engineered piece of equipment, and in rFactor 2, this car is sure to get the pulse racing just as hard as the action on track.

BMW 330i M Sport

Our latest British Touring Car Championship content is here, as we introduce the incredible BMW 330i M Performance to the rFactor 2 – a car that have enjoyed much success in the world of the premier tin top touring car series in the UK. A nice new rear-wheel drive car alongside the previously released Infiniti, the BMW should be another great addition to our expanding tin top collection in rFactor 2, and offers a very different, but equally rewarding experience for those who venture out onto the virtual track.

Vauxhall Astra BTCC

The Vauxhall Astra made its debut under the current NGTC regulations all the way back in 2017, marking the much heralded return of the British brand following an incredible run of success in the early 1990s through to the mid 2000s, however as per the NGTC rule set, the return of the Astra wouldn’t be a fully works attempt as previous years, with Power Maxed Racing, forming the new adventure with support from the main dealer, but predominantly going it alone following a toe in the water exercise with car sponsorship in previous seasons.

Honda Civic Type R BTCC

One of the absolute standout models within the British Touring Car Championship in recent years, the Honda Civic is a sensational performing vehicle that has taken drivers championships in the hands of both Matt Neal and Gordon Sheddon in recent years, and now, in FK8 Type R form, continues that long legacy of success for Honda machinery in the BTCC.

Cupra Leon

The Cupra Leon boasts a 350+bhp 2-litre turbo-charged direct-injection engine with ‘fly by wire’ throttle control and an Xtrac 6 speed sequential-shift gearbox and differential. If that doesn’t excite you, then we don’t know what will! And with how close the scuffles and battles are in the BTCC, both in real life and in the virtual world, you are sure to have hours and hours of fun with this new content.

BTCC Pack 2  Hyundai i30 Fastback N Performance and Ford Focus ST NGTC

Untitled.thumb.png.49a76506be3d6c72dd3796028fddbde5.png

Both running to front wheel drive configuration, the key difference between the two cars, aside from the obvious visual aspect of being from different brands, is the Focus runs a self developed Ford / Monutune engine, while the Hyundai utilises the TOCA / Swindon lump found in the already released Infiniti Q50 and Toyota Corolla.
