2010 Argentinian Top Race V6 season (Copa América)

The Argentinian Top Race V6 (www.trv6.com.ar) has several changes for 2010. First of all, broadcasting has changed from Carburando (Buenos Aires 13, TyC Sports outside Argentina) for América. That means that I can't watch any race at home. Series owner Alejandro Urtubey (also owner of motorsport mazagine Corsa) decided to change the season to August-May as with football. Therefore, the first 6 races of the year will be part of the 2010 Copa América, no races will be held from mid May to late July, and the remaining 6 races of 2010 will be part of the 2010/11 season.

The race formal has been changed too. Mimicking the Turismo Carretera, there will be three 15-minute heats on Sunday with split grids and a final 45-minute race. The top 10 drivers qualified will also race a 3-lap sprint race on Saturday. Only drivers who won a heat or final race may be eligible for the championship.

Chevrolet, Ford, Mercedes and Volkswagen all stay in the championship with their new Vectra (Astra C) and Mondeo III and their old C-Class and Passat lookalikes. Citroën and Renault have entered their C5 II and Laguna III, whereas there are no Peugeot 407 bodies anymore.

2010 Top Race V6 (Copa América) calendar:
February 14 - Comodoro Rivadavia
February 28 - Bah*a Blanca
March 14 - Salta
April 4 - Resistencia

I can't tell. The cars are silhouettes, only the bodies are different. So their involment could only mean some money poured on teams and organisers. I do know that Mercedes provides the safety cars.

I think that with this broadcasting change, TRV6 is starting to cave its own grave.

The ratings from the february 28th race where slightly lower than the TC Mouras "special race" with guest drivers from TC.

TRV6 has great drivers, but cars are overweight and technical rules sucks (bad quality-cheap brakes, dampers, spec engines, no suspension geometry and aerodynamic changes allowed)

TRV6 cars are challenging to drive, just like Nascars and Italian Superstar cars. With poor braking distances, drivers have room and time to overtake.

Its not a braking distance problem. TC has also braking distances that allow overtaking.

What do you prefer?

a) A $200 brake disc that endure 2 or 3 races before it starts cracking

b) A $1200 brake disc that endures the whole season (16 races) and that has a better disc/pad grip
