Indeed.
There are no factory teams at all in TCR International. There's Audi Hong Kong in TCR Asia, but the rest are privateers in the TCR series. The cars are significantly slower than existing VASC cars. Would be an ideal support category. Only the VAG cars (Seat Leon, VW Golf, Audi S3) and the Honda Civic are at the ultimate pace so far. FWD only, use road-car derived suspension components. The formula needs further development before it is used for a 'headline' series IMHO. It's certainly progressing and affordable. We shall see how the STCC goes this season, the first of the established series to switch to a TCR ruleset.
