Touring Cars
who agree's that 2 door cars should be allowed in touring cars. An Alfa 147 or a peugeot 306/406 or an astra don't really look like a touring car, good to see the FIA has said that the ETC cars must be 4.2 metre's minimum

Touring cars should be four doors
While the 2 door cars like the Astra look OK, the new MG looks more like what a touring car should.
Besides, if you require 4 doors you don't get sportscars like 911s (Trans Am 2 liter Sedans in the late sixties) or Mazda RX-7 2+2s (early eighties BTCC) let in because just because they have back seats. While I do like the fact that the ETCC matches up with BTCC rules, I am glad that 4 door cars will be required. Kurt Maxwell MaxSport Carmel,IN. Last edited by MaxSport; 4 Jun 2001 at 06:23. |

i dont think they look that bad, only 10 cm off last year?
if manufactuers want to have 4 door let 'em, if they want 2 door let 'em! best of both worlds Maybe the New Vauxhall Vectra will be here in the future, if RW changes the rules more like ETCC |

ALRIGHT!! This narrow minded fan since '95 is really happy and excited the ETC will require the 4.2m rule which favours sedans over hatchbacks. I think hatchbacks should be left to junior(lower racing series) and any rallying. But when it comes to the "BTCC" or the "top racing" series, it should be a coupe at the least, if not full 4 door sedans!! yyeaahhh. Now let me run and get my fire retardent suit in cases the flames start coming!!
 Coupes (like 911 and F360) should preferably in the GT class! |

What's with the 4-door obsession? Those old Super Touring rep-mobiles just looked like taxis!!! Anyway, the Laguna and 96-00 Mondeos were hatchbacks.
I reckon the manufacturers should run whatever they want. If Vauxhall want to enter the new-shape Vectra in the future, then they can. No rule changes would be required. There is no MAXIMUM length... only a MINIMUM. |
