ETCC 2003 mod for Race 07
________________________________________________
Before installing remove old "ETCC_2003" folder from "Gamedata\Teams"
PLEASE. If you want to filter cars, you should temporarily remove/replace "ETCC_2002" folder from "Gamedata\Teams" (if you have it ofc)
This mod contains all 2003 season cars and new sounds
2003 Tracks are here
Part 1: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/etcc-2003-trackpack-part-1.54918/
Part 2: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/etcc-2003-trackpack-part-2.54920/
I highly recommend you to download both packs for a complete ETCC 2003 season experience. Championship file included
No add-ons needed. Tested on Steam version and old retail version of the game.
The mod is including the following cars:
- Alfa Romeo 156 GTA (ModelID = 231)
- BMW 320i e46 '03 (ModelID = 233)
- BMW 320i e46 '02 (ModelID = 235)
- Volvo S60 (ModelID = 234)
- Seat Toledo Cupra (ModelID = 240)
- Honda Civic Type-R (ModelID = 232)
Version 1.5.4: (maybe the final update)
1. Reworked BMW Sounds. I was finally able to make them sound like s2000 cars and not like STW. Now I think these sounds are very similar to the real ones
Version 1.5.3:
1. Scuderia Bigazzi Team Alfas now run 5-speed H-pattern 2002 gearboxes (thanks to TL98_RD)
2. Seat Toledo Cupra now a lil bit slower but still good enough to beat BMWs and Alfas. This is an attempt to simulate the real behavior of the Seat Toledo's in 2003 season: less powerful engine and slightly crude suspension
3. Due to the weakening of Seats, Jordi Gene and Frank Diefenbacher talent files were tweaked. Now their laptimes are much closer to real ones
Version 1.5.2:
1. Honda Civic Type-R handling tweak
- According to the results of testings, it was decided to slightly increase the understeer of the Honda due to reliable info of it's "weird chassis"
2. Magny Cours BMW AI tweak
- AI settings were tweaked again to make BMWs 0.1-0.3 seconds faster in qualifiyng
3. Brno FWD AI tweak
- AI settings were tweaked to make Alfas, Seats and Honda's a bit more competitive on Brno
4. Talent files tweak
- According to the results of testings, Jorg Muller or Andy Priaulx won 8 out of 10 championships. Now Gabriele Tarquini win 5 out of 10 championships (other 3 won by Jorg Muller and 2 by Andy Priaulx)
- Roberto Colciago now slightly faster
5. All tracks now have real-life fastest lap record info
Version 1.5.1:
1. Hondas' interior now left-hand sided, just like it was irl (big shout out to elmatoninteligente & raul_ninja)
2. '02 BMW starting sounds are changed to those from Race: The WTCC game. Slightly tweaked ofc
3. '03 BMW wipers now working
4. Trackpacks were tweaked (AIWetGrip and RoadWetGrip). Part 1 and Part 2
5. Jordi Gene and Frank Diefenbacher' talent files were tweaked. Now they are a bit slower on wet tracks
Version 1.5:
1. All Alfa Romeo interior windows were tweaked due to bad reflections
2. All drivers received proper helmet skins
3. Magny-Cours road textures updated for better visibility (download trackpack part 2)
4. Magny-Cours AIW and GDB was tweaked (AI was too slow)
5. Tweaked BMW AI car settings on Magny-Cours 2003 again
Version 1.4:
1. All BMW skins have been reworked due to small errors in shading
2. All cars now have ModelID's so you can filter them
3. Talent files:
- R. Colciago should be a lil bit more aggressive
- D. Müller should be a lil bit more consistent during the race
4. Tweaked BMW AI car settings on Magny Cours 2003. Should be slightly faster and much more consistent
Version 1.3:
1. New BMW e46 '03 front bumper
- Side vents a bit higher
- Front lip now thicker
- Every '03 BMW livery has been updated
2. Volvo S60 windows have been tweaked for better compatibility with custom shaders (testing required)
Version 1.2.1:
1. Honda Civic Type R dash:
- Tweaked RPM lights range
- Display now shows all default parameters (brake temp, tire temp, oil/water temp, rpm, laptime and gaps)
- All MOTEC parameters were repositioned for better visibility
2. Honda suspension physics:
- Fixed rear anti-roll bar stiffness (was too soft)
- Adjusted center of mass for less understeering
- Fixed default tire pressure. They were deflated
- Adjusted default fast/slow bump and rebound parameters. Now AI slightly faster when going over the curbstones
3. HOTFIX
- FIXED. On no-addon version of the game, Volvo S60 had no rearlights
Version 1.1:
1. Sounds:
- BMW 320i e46 '03 new external sounds
- Fixed BMW 320i e46 '02 external "onveryhigh" sound
2. Fixed:
- James Thompson's number now 56 (was 12)

2. Suspension and engine physics

3.2 All tracks correspond to their counterparts of the 2003 season. Almost all tracks have a correct 2003 ads
3.3 Championship file with correct handicap weights included
Known issues:
- Alfa Romeo Clever Cats Team and Volvo S60 Racing Team skins missing some sponsor decals
