I agree with your statement, but not necessarily with the creation of a "TC3" class. Hell, they haven't even gotten TC1 stabilized, which could need one or two more manufacturers. Then there's TC2, which is basically S2000...and then you want to create a class below S2000? Wouldn't it be better to let TC2 be a class with downgraded TC1 cars (Production-based engines instead of 1.6l racing engines; less bodywork modifications etc.) and to turn S2000 into TC3?

Also, the idea of applying the GT3 philosophy to touring cars should have been used a long time ago.

Absolutely. GT3 is pretty much the spiritual successor to Group A touring cars anyway, so I never figured out why the same approach hasn't been used for touring cars. Then again, GT3 was a privateer's playground back then, while touring cars were run by manufacturers and we all know that manufacturers don't like any BoP applied to their cars (Like Audi in the 1992 DTM season...).
