Today was day to forget for Japanese cars in Le Mans, TCR and BTCC
They was only good in TCR Germany |

Westcoast and Honda shall ask themselves, whether they really want to win the championship. At least 3 cars fully funded with 3 decent drivers are the minimum when facing a pseudo works team of Seat.

If only it was that easy. Lukoil is paying to sponsor all 3 cars, WestCoast do not have such luxury. They are relying on drivers coming with a budget.

Maybe difficult for Westcoast, but easy to pay for Honda. After all they do want the promotion of a title to sell their product...

Can be. Commentator on Serbian TV was live at Oschersleben and he said that there will be Audi, Mercedes-Benz and Renault next year on grid. And maybe BMW and Jaguar if TCR change regulations.

BUT: I just checked the Websites of Craft-Bamboo and B3 Racing. Craft-Bamboo names Seat-Sport as second sponsor after Lukoil (together with Team Dynamics Wheels and others). B3 does NOT (their list btw is also way longer, including Burger King and a dozend others). This is not proof for anything, but come on... Last edited by Fechna; 21 Jun 2016 at 13:16. |

Thats also actually my favourite way of racing. Where else can a real privateer like Homola, Grachov, Buri, etc. truly compete against semi works pro drivers like Morbidelli, Oriola, Gene and the likes.

I don't think TCR is the championship for Jaguar.

I'd love it, but that will never happen... I also wonder what an Serbian Anchor is supposed to know that tct isn't. Maybe before daydreaming about fata morganas we should wait for Opel and Kia to arrive and pray for Alfa and Subaru to ever get to decent performance.

Only XE fit in TCR and it's just little bigger than WRX.
Also is there are rule in any touring class that say car cant be longer than? I mean someone can use Rolls-Royce Phantom. With stripped of luxury and with 2.0 330hp it will be hilarious Also look like Target Competition Astra will be back in Sepang http://www.touringcartimes.com/2016/...urn-in-sepang/ |

XE is the same size as a BMW 3 series...which competed alongside Civic and Leon in S2000 competition.

Well, we're talking about Bop, so Fulin should be able to place the car consistently in the top 10 on every track, since he is a fast driver. They are not there yet. I hope he stays on the team, Cerruti alone won't cut it.

I know the Opels are supposed to be back in time for Sepang but does anyone know when the Fords & Subarus are going to be ready? How's the Kia project going? |

I still can't quite get my head round circuit racing Subarus. They should be covered in beastly mud and oomska. But the more, the merrier.
