Those previous changes you mention still had the "big" cars running - a swap completely to TCR or similar would not have that. Not saying it can't be done but I don't think retaining fans would be simple.

My reference to Supertouring was primarily in relation to Bathurst - the change was made to the type of cars running in the event from one year to the next and the fans stayed away from the track and their TVs. Long time ago now and IF it were to happen in the next few years, maybe it could work this time.
