I was a huge touring car fan in the 80's and 90's, but despair at the state it's in today.

S2000 cars are a disaster, they look and sound awful, are unspectaclar and too slow.

DTM cars don't even resemble road going supercars, nevermind mid to high end saloons.

Is it really so difficult to come up with a cost effective but spectacular touring car formula.

Cars must closely resemble the road car model, with WRC like modifications to wheel arches and aero.

Allow FWD and RWD with 320bhp+ 2l turbo engines.

Super Touring cars were putting out 320bhp+ in the later years while 2l kitcars such as the Citroen Xsara and Peugeot 306 Maxi put out even more, AND were competive on rough tarmac roads, even in damp conditions, with 4wd WRC cars.

DTM '88-'92 is what touring cars should be like.
