I think this is the perfect opportunity to set out a set of rules that allows saloon racing, however at a much lower cost, but faster than something like the BTCC and TCR.
If they took the TCR concept and said; "ok, well the TCR cars produce around 330BHP, a car ran easily in testing at 400BHP, so move to a 400BHP power target and then fit a larger front splitter, larger rear wing, lower the weight by 100kg and then you have yourself a TCR car on steriods. You could do "upgrade kits" for the current TCR cars.
The issue we have now is that there are so many touring car rulesets that fragment the investment and divide up the resources, when the opposite could happen and there could be say 4 sets of approved rules which covers a number of categories.
Group 1 - "Clio cup"
Group 2 - "TCR"
Group 3 - "BTCC"
Group 4 - "DTM"
