I disagree. Of course Lotti branded it at first as the GT3 of Touringcars, but if you take a look at it, you´ll see that TCR is faster then the formula the top tier of touringcars used for a decade. Only TC1 changed that. At at least I think TC1 was a huge mistake that will kill the championship at some point, if the WTCC changes the rules. DTM is a travesty anyways, and it is for a decade now.
If WTCC is equivalent to F1, and TCR is equivalent to GP3, then there is no legit international GP2 equivalent. And if F1 would be struggeling to get 14+ cars on track, there sure would think about how to make the F1 more "GP3ish".
There is no such thing as a "ladder" in Touringcars so far. Only the one make series around the world could qualify for a junior class. Otherwise any TC series are just as any other when you look at the age of the grid or potential drivers changing to a higher class.
