Touring Car Cup @ 2019 FIA Motorsport Games

This weekend first edition of the FIA Motorsport Games at Vallelunga. Event includes TCR with race on Saturday and Sunday.

Quote:
Each National Sporting Authority (ASN) will nominate one driver for the competition, organised in conjunction with the WSC Group. There will be no restriction on drivers’ experience.

The competition will provide entrants with a total of three hours’ track time, split into two 30-minute practice sessions and two qualifying sessions of the same length.

Race one will last at least 25 minutes + 1 lap, while Race 2 will run for at least 30 minutes + 1 lap. Top 10 finishers from Race 1 will score points, with the allocation being expanded to top 15 finishers in the second of the races.

The worldwide success of the TCR platform makes Touring Car Cup an accessible competition for drivers from all over the globe, allowing them to represent their country during this revolutionary motor sport initiative, while a wide variety of available brands will guarantee a strong and diverse entry.

All competing cars must comply with TCR Technical Regulations and each be approved by the FIA. Balance of Performance (BoP) will be published by the FIA in agreement with WSC.

The Touring Car Cup will feature alongside five other disciplines of the event – the GT Cup, Formula 4 Cup, Drifting Cup, Digital Cup and Karting Slalom Cup.

The Sporting Regulations of the FIA Motorsport Games are available at fia.com.

Rory Butcher P5 in the first qualifying! Maybe I'm biased and I know it was wet, but that's very impressive by him and the AmD guys given how far they were off the pace yesterday.

Luca Englster gets pole for race 1. Engine then blows so misses Q2 and has to start R1 from the back of the grid. So arguably the favourite starting both races from last!

Gavrillov on pole for R1 for Russia, Magnus for R2 for Belgium. Both in Audis

Gavrilov wins R1. Would love to see him in TCR Europe full time next year.

Entertaining race, but in my memory Vallelunga always delivers great touring car racing.

According to the commentary, yes, which is pretty amazing! Think he's 19 years old

Butcher just never seemed to get going. How did Coronel finish the race, car looked like a proper handful

Edit - Clutch problems off the line followed by an engine issue according to a tweet from AMD

Great drive by Coronel.
Also Gavrilov is racing since at least 2016
2016- TCR Russia- Seat Leon Supercopa
2017- TCR Russia- Seat Leon TCR
2018- TCR Russia -Audi RS 3 LMS TCR/Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR
2018- TCR Europe- Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR
2019- TCR Russia, TCR Europe, TCR Italy, FIA Motorsport Games- Audi RS 3 LMS TCR

So he is not a rookie, but he is pretty good. I would say same for Dusan Kouril.

They surprised me the most. In good way

If these "Motorsport Games" are meant to be some sort of Olympics of motorsport, then we have a long way to go. The organisation and race directing have been embarrassing.

Another day, another suspended GT race, another delayed touring car race and everyone is standing around waiting for the start...just because.

Yeah. Replays are pretty terrible too. Definitely doesn't feel like we have the best representation of every country either. Though to be fair it's only the first year and the racing has been very good so far.

So much for an Englster walkover!

Kinda the second, at least. It's based on the Cup of Nations that FIA and SRO ran last year.

Looking like this might end up being a SC finish for the TCs. Or a 1 lap shootout.

On the plus side, the streams are good quality.

Good finish to a poorly run TC event tbh. SRO/FIA can learn a lot from how well BTCC days are run. The turn around they have between races is butter smooth compared with this event.

More on track running, less drifting, eSports and karting needed.
