We use TORCS 1.3.2 to start the season, have a look at the README for a list of changes. The most important changes regarding the championship are: reduced drag advantage for the leading car when slipstreaming ground effect drops quickly when air flow is not parallel to driving direction new car available (car8-trb1) some Gf* API functions operate now with const char* instead of char* I set up a test championship to make the competitors familiar with the process and to give the opportunity to iron out problems and getting used to the people before the real championship starts. Here you can join the real championship. I hope to meet you on the track and that you enjoy the 2012 season.

Bernhard Sun, 08 Jan 2012 19:25:34 GMT http://torcs.sourceforge.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=76 First I like to wish you and your families a happy new year. The TORCS 1.3.2-test2 source package is available on sf.net. Have a look at the README for a listing of changes. The Windows installer will follow later this week, then, if nobody finds major glitches and the documentation updates are done I will roll out 1.3.2. So please test and let me know if you find problems. Enjoy, Bernhard Update: The Windows installer is now available, you can find the download here.

You can find instructions how to use it here (I had to watch the video first to grasp it, but it is very easy). Thank you very much for this. Enjoy, Bernhard. Thu, 22 Dec 2011 08:01:56 GMT http://torcs.sourceforge.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=74 The TORCS 1.3.2-test1 source package is available on sf.net. I will set up the 2010 racing season during the next two weeks. If you discover any trouble with this version please let me know. For TRB relevant changes are: new car8-trb1 (I will allow it for 2010) adjusted some parameters on existing cars slipstreaming effect is reduced I hope to see you on the track soon. Regarding 1.3.2, the test1 release is mainly to start with the TRB season, there are some little things missing for the final 1.3.2 (see the README in the package for details). Enjoy, Bernhard Sun, 02 May 2010 21:42:29 GMT http://torcs.sourceforge.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=73 I put together a song for the TORCS menu, if you are interested you can get it here.
