Welcome to FRM TOURING CARS by the FRM TEAM, exclusively for GTR2.

This mod is many things to us, but the first is coming full circle. Many years ago Andreas and Simspeed Racing produced a GTR2 & Race07 mod encapsulating the magic of the Super Touring era. Over time this grew and grew and when I got involved a while back, I was handed the keys to the mod, with myself and master painter Markano trying to keep this mod alive with our first release "SUPER TOURING EVOLUTION".

Coming forward 18 months and a lot has changed, not just in the world after a difficult 2020, but in our team. We've gone from 4 team members to 10, all working on this new mod and some exciting new future projects.

This mod is the sequel to the "SUPER TOURING EVOLUTION" mod and although (for now) there's a lot shared skins across the mods, under the hood it's a different beast with reworked physics, tyres, many visual upgrades to cars (especially interiors). It's a major upgrade from the previous version's handling model. AI is improved, both on track and with raw talent files.

But why is this mod not called "Super Touring?" Simple: We've got more to come. Much more. Starting with the Super 2000 era ETCC & BTCC championships, and continuing with the NORDSCHLEIFE mod that has been quietly been in the works for two years now, all celebrating the glory of tin-top touring car racing. The mod is built so you require a single "Base" mod to run it, but car packs you can mix and match, there's no compatibility issues or clashes with other mods (that I'm aware of anyway!).

This mod is the culmination of years of work by many, and to all of you who have worked on this, be it the original versions or with us at FRM in the last couple years, enjoy.

Some things I've noticed so far:

Car 18075HS's (Alfa 156) BODY2.dds is the same texture as BODY1.dds, giving it funky looking wheels.

I did a 25 lap 1997 BTCC race at default Donington National. The AI Hondas had chronic understeer. One of them pitted with a couple of laps to go, didn't seem to have much damage, it might be a re-occurrence of the old fuel estimate issue. I'll have to do some more races to see if it pops up again.

I had a CTD after trying to load a 2009 David Leslie Memorial race. Trace:

This is an all in one and even more?
