I think there's two aspects. BMW doesn't want to compete with mainstream brands like Hyundai and Honda. And BMW doesn't want to compete with FWD cars.

As for Mini, I think that the Hatch and Aceman are too short for TCR regulations, and the Countryman is too tall.

It's weird though, are BMW 128ti drivers meant to have pride in their vehicle being an "Ultimate Driving Machine"TM or not? But BMW's choice.

Sub-TCR TC Lite category announced, incorporating existing rally4/5 regulations. They tried this half a dozen years ago and it went nowhere, hopefully this proves more of a success. |

However, it has been a success within rallying and allows early OEM support to juniors - it would be great to see this happening in touring cars too. |

Rally4 and Rally5 cars are way too expensive for the performance they have. Rally should copy TCR, not viceversa.

Existing series like Uruguay's superturismo (i love those little beasts) and Argentina's TN C2 that are infinitelly more flexible (basically everyone can make a car) why tie a series to the whims of manufacturers?
