I don't see a problem.
TCR is significantly cheaper than Carrera Cup or even GT4
yet has far more opportunities for manufacturer alignment and sponsorship.
It is no brainer to leave some of these other categories and join TCR!
TCR would also likely tempt folks who are currently running state Porsche series for old Carrera Cups. TCR would offer similar, or lower, costs with the benefits of being on the national stage.
Costs would likely be on par with the Australia Manufacturer Series (once a car is built up there with Alcon brakes and fancy shocks, the costs are likely on par or greater than TCR anyway), so many runners from the production series should be tempted across too. (Remember all the TCRs run *stock* engines like production series. Very durable, reliable, inexpensive. All engine parts readily available from the manufacturer.)
