Some notes regarding the weekend:
Marc Hessel suffered a very big crash during the pre-qualifying qualifying.
You can watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=396vSBwNN0Q

This is his injury RNG.
Marc Hessel:
1-5 - Ok
6-10 - Out for 1 race weekend
11-15 - Out for 2 race weekends
16-25 - Out for 4 race weekends
26-100 - Out for the rest of the season
Result: 46 - Out for the rest of the season

And because of how hard the crash was, this was the damage RNG for the chassis.
BMW E30 M3 Evo #1 Chassis:
1-5 - 60%
6-10 - 70%
11-15 - 80%
16-20 - 90%
21-100 - Totaled
Result: 40 - Totaled

This means that Marc Hessel is out for the rest of the year, and that the BMW E30 M3 Evo #1 chassis is totaled. This means that BMW have until the 16th June to choose a replacement (Winkelhock can be used without extra charge besides his own salary). The #1 chassis can't be repaired because it's totaled. BMW have an extra chassis available, the #3 one, as its noted on the budget and stats file.

There was also another crash that warranted a damage RNG:
Mazda 323F #2 Chassis:
1-40 - 0%
41-80 - 10%
81-95 - 20%
96-100 - 30%
Result: 3 - 0%

Updated Championship Standings

Upgrades are open until the 16th June. Beware the number of upgrades and current car stats.

Courage Compétition would be willing to make Fabien Giroix available if BMW require him.

FortiWinks · Post by **FortiWinks** » 12 Jun 2020, 02:32

We here at BMW are saddened about Marc’s injury as he was up there in the championship standings.

The team are thankful for such a generous offer from Courage with the availability of our former driver Giroix and we are thrilled to accept the deal and as a offer of thanks will pay the wage of the team’s driver of choice to replace him.

We will take a engine and overall upgrade.

Courage would like to offer Ni Amorim and his sweet Benetton money the drive for the rest of the season as a PD - taking the minimum 5k a round.

He'll bring 13000 to the teams for the 5 weekends he's running.

Autosport wrote:Peugeot to bring updated car into Brands Hatch round of WTCM

The Peugeot works team has announced that they will be bringing in a brand new evolution of the Peugeot 405 that the team has been running in this season of World Touring Car Masters.

Jean Todt, the team principal was quoted as saying "The new Evolution of the 405 is a step in the right direction for the team. We've been working very hard with Jean-Pierre [Jabouille] at Paul Ricard. Last week, we ran both Dalmas and Alliot in the car and the feedback was very positive. We're confident the new car is an improvement over the last one."

Dubbed the Peugeot 405 Evo II, the new car will debut at the next round of the World Touring Car Masters, hosted at the british circuit of Brands Hatch. The updated chassis will carry improved aerodynamics and engine parts, and was homologated last month by the FISA.

The Peugeot Talbot Sport team hasn't been sucessfull in this season of WTCM. In their debut as a factory team in the series, under the new Super Touring rules, they currently sit last in the manufacturer standings, with a best result of a 14th place in the Watkins Glen Sprint Race, courtesy of Philippe Alliot.

Thank you! We're already on a tight budget as it is, so no trip overseas for us. We'll make sure to get better funding for next season.

Now, for something important - since the forum isn't up that long yet, I'm not going to allow any upgrades (besides Toyota's) after this round. Anderstorp will include SeedStriker's requested update. Final batch of updates will be allowed after Spa.

I will be sending e-mails to all the people who haven't returned for WTCM in the meantime! For now: let's carry on to Sweden and Spa.

Kinnikuniverse · Post by **Kinnikuniverse** » 26 Jan 2021, 21:31

I actually checked the standings, and wow, we are actually doing pretty well for our first season in the series (in our class, at least.)! Autosport Mannschaft Gelsenkirchen is definitely looking to enter next season. All we need is more funding.
