Wasn't thinking that originally, i just noticed that the class is in it's 10th year. Having said that though i do think that the rules are in need of a freshen up.

I've never really been a fan of the formula, only two makes and so on, especially now that with all these common parts and so on coming in they are not really going to be Touring Cars anymore, but silouette racers. but it has worked so far, but these rules can't last forever.

With new manufacturers, i'm all for it, but only if the race car is comparable to the road cars, i'm not for FWD Toyota's or Mitsubishi's turned into RWD V8s running. A second class would be ok to.

As the way the rules are now, they are probably the best set of regs in the world.

A certain head figure of the class affects my support as well :;
