Of course TCR are touring cars! They use a production bodyshell, production based-engine (completely stock engine actually, aside from tune), and production-based suspension (e.g., the Civic hatch uses the rear torsion beam like the road model, unlike the control double-wishbone in NGTC). Maybe they could use stock gearbox, but I'm sure they have a reason for using the paddle-ised sequential racing gearbox (more reliable I suppose).
How is TCR not a pure touring car?
