Our premier category should be based on slow "not proper race cars", waiting with baited breath..............

Nobody is suggesting the ATCC should be contested for TCR! TCR is just a support category, one which would provide a pathway into international FWD touring car racing -- a pathway that is currently lacking Australia.
In the UK there is a strong ladder in front wheel drive. Civic Cup, MINI challenge, Renault Clio Cup, through to TCR and finally up to the iconic BTCC.
In Australia you can go from the state Circuit Excels (or state IPRA under-2000cc) up to
nothing. There used to be the MINI series to train FWD skills as a step-up from state Excels, but that has been replaced by RWD Toyota 86s.
