ATC17 Official Schedule
For this season’s schedule, ATC17 will be defined by grueling street courses like St. Pete, Miami, Long Beach, and Chicago. Famous Australian locales like Phillip Island, and Adelaide. Classic touring car arenas like Thruxton, Mid-Ohio, and Barber. The calendar begins on April 20th with one of our favorite season openers: Belle Isle. It closes on July 13th at the scene of many memorable finales: Bathurst.

Special Event: Time Acceleration at Fuji!
This season’s special event will feature a fast-moving sun, a slightly longer race, and a full 4-tire pit stop.

Bonus Point Change: Naked Aggression replaced with Class Pole
We are retiring the bonus point for most net positions gained in a race. It will be replaced with a bonus point for qualifying on pole for your class. This is available for all three classes.

Minor Format Changes
The invert for sprint challenges once again inches upwards to 15. This is most likely the highest it will ever be without major changes to the sprint challenge format. The amount of laps available for qualifying will also be reduced to 2. Fuel limits will also be made slightly different to account for the adjusted fuel consumption rates and fuel tank sizes of the overhauled cars. These fuel numbers will be finalized at a future date.

Paul Walsh Returns to Broadcast ATC17
Paul Walsh returns to broadcast his 5th season of ATC! Paul is a frequent commentator for GT7; Assetto Corsa Competizione and iRacing, where you may have seen him commentating over NXTGEN Racing and UKSimRacing events. Welcome back Paul!

Rulebook Changes: Penalties Simplified
Looking at our old penalty table, things were starting to get out of hand in terms of understandability. Many penalty reasons that were previously broken out into their own separate boxes are now tucked underneath one generic “At fault for incident” category as potential riders.

Off-Season Exhibition: FWD Rallycross
In this off-season’s special exhibition event, we’re taking the Volkswagen Jetta to its natural habitat: the dirt. Come join us for some extra-bouncy fun on April 6th.
This is not a points-paying event.

This concludes our ATC17 rundown.
