How many TCR cars?
I was asked this question at the weekend and didn't have an answer. As far as TCR is concerned I'm not educated enough to make an educated guess, so in the best tradition can I ask the audience.
How many TCR spec cars have been built? I don't mean how many different models, I mean how many individual cars. Can't just add up the entry lists from the various series as there will be some duplication - it some cases drivers swap in and out, so what looks like 2 or 3 separate entries is just the same car with a different driver each week; in other cases I'm sure there will be examples where teams race in multiple series. I'm guess somewhere between 50-100 ? |

BTW, Super Touring comes in just under 400 - no idea about S2000. |

You can drop the Megane, there's nothing TCR about that car.

Thanks. That's more than I was expecting. I wasn't sure if the many Leons were actually TCR-spec or just one-make cup cars.
Had a look around Finlay Crocker's Civic at Knockhill last weekend. Impressive bit of kit. |

Those Alfas were 'TCT' cars, which are a bit different from TCR. I'm not quite sure why that class exists.
Mark0994, since you've listed the Russian Megane, you might as well include the Italian Citroen C3, neither of which are true TCR cars but are classified as such. |

Why? Here in Italy we have to please everybody. C3 Max originally didn't have to take points, because it's nor a TCR nor a TCS car, but ACI invented the "Italian TCR homologation" in order to not run it as "invisible". Now there is also the TCT class, which I still don't understand what it is. I think it is a "more racing" TCS, but it's not a TCR because Bacci's Giulietta hasn't the same aerodynamic as the Ferraris' one. CIT is already similar to the old CITE, with many categories and various cars, but for the miscellaneous championships we have already the Peroni Group. The Italian championship mustn't be as it is now, because right now we have quite only gentleman drivers and few cars. Want to compare TCR Germany's level to TCR Italy's? |

Wouldn't it be great to see a Touring Car Register to record as many touring cars as possible?
Something along the lines of the http://www.supertouringregister.com/ |

I don't have a list of all TCR cars built, but I do have a database of every TCR race result. Could quite easily marry the two up in the future. |

On touringcartimes says that the SEAT Sport has already sold about 200 new SEAT Leon.
