Final race should be in Europe, preferably Brands Hatch alongside BTCC. Just daydreaming.

That would be cosmic to see those cars going round the GP loop, but you're right, it probably won't happen anytime soon

final round should be at Enna Pergusa, that would end pretty messy though.

Well, the FIA kicked Robert Huff out of the TCR Macau race because this year he ran in WTCC and not a 2L touring car... no wonder why TCR left.

Is there not a UK TCR round planned at all? I know in 2016 there was a 24H of Silverstone which allowed TCR cars to run, however is that the best the UK is going to get in terms of TCR exposure?

I think that Gow and Lotti made some kind of deal not to get TCR cars in UK.

TCR International seems to me more like a showcase of the TCR concept and the UK isn't really the market for TCR. There's a stable touring car category at roughly the same performance level as it is. Nevertheless, maybe the BTCC might be wise to adopt TCR alongside NGTC at some point in the future.

Well yes, but that is inevitable. Fortunately the regulations aren't too dissimilar, with roughly the same weight, just a little more power for NGTC cars. Anyway, I'm merely suggesting it should be considered.

Does anyone have current estimates for cost of a car build and the cost to run a car under both regulations? |

Where NGTC shines though is the reusability of the spec RML parts, even in different cars, even brands. If TCR g becomes a "whohasthenewest" race like GT3 that might balance the NGTC disadvantage. As much as I prefer TCR over NGTC (especially the looks), when it comes to BTCC i'd say: Don't fix what ain't broken. BTW: Did anyone notice that STARD said their KIA has 350 bhp instead of 330 bhp? That's closer to NGTC figures, while TCR has supposedly better suspension (there was a comparison between the BTCC Honda and the Cup Seat a couple of years ago) and a bigger splitter. I'm very curious about a laptime comparison between TCR and NGTC but at least on tight tracks I would put my money on TCR, on high speed tracks on NGTC. Last edited by Fechna; 11 Nov 2016 at 10:23. |

Josh Files wants to drive TCR Germany AND TCR International with Honda and Target, if there are no clashing dates.

All TCR national championships would run on the same weekends, to avoid clashes with TCR International Series, right?
