So I would say the TCR cars are every bit as fast as the lighter (1280kg with most TCR cars are over 1300kg (HONDA is 1315kg)) and more powerful (TCR 350hp btcc 380hp) btcc cars.

Maybe I am biased as I race them, but having driven cars of both formulae I also prefer the way a TCR performs.

Good to hear your feedback Josh.

Can you possibly give us some more insight into exactly how the cars differ handling wise?
