Touring cars should be about performance versions of normal road cars, not supercars with room for screaming kids. And how exactly would you get knobble the BMW, Aston and Porker to get it to race with the Falcon and Commo?
Besides, the only current manufacturer that has a car in that is BMW, and I don't think they particularly want to flog the 5-Series.

People carrier racing? That's a good idea, but I think it would be pretty crazy to run a Clio in the same class as an Espace.

What sort of state of tune? My figures (3000cc NA or 2500cc turbo producing 300bhp) , after doing a bit of research could probably be done on most of the cars if they are chipped, new air filters, straightout exhausts etc. without changing innards. In fact, that's all I would allow. If the engines are in a lower state of tune (and the development is heavily limited) they can last longer.
