Never really followed TCR racing in the US so TC America and Michelin Pilot Challenge was always bit confusing for me. Maybe it's better to have one series.

From the article:
Quote:
“BMW’s introduction of the new M2 race car gave us an opportunity to highlight that car in a new TCX class. We expect the M2 to be joined by Audi RS 3 DSG models, and have been in good discussion with a domestic US manufacturer about homologating its new high performance car into the TCX class.
But if I understand correctly TCR cars are still allowed and will be BoP with the other cars in the class. Or is the Audi RS3 DSG different to the Audi RS3 TCR?

Any idea which domestic US manufacturer?

I guess the DSG TCRs are still allowed, but those cars are getting kinda long in the tooth, so I guess they'll only be around for another year or so.

Michelin Pilot Challenge is more of a endurance series 2 hour 2 driver races.

Whereas TC America was more traditional Touring Car style racing.

And to think that SRO had just gotten the formula right with 3 shorter sprint races per weekend.

The TCR scene in North America is a bit scattered, to say the least. There's close to 100 cars over there, but not even half that are actually actively racing.

Baffles me how they can't manage a proper TCR sprint championship over there, that isn't combined with GT4, or some hodge-podge production class.

In other news, Mattias Andersson has secured a new Lynk&Co 03 for TCR Scandinavia... or is it STCC again?

STCC TCR Scandinavia Touring Car Championship is its full name

So its the Scandinavia Touring Car Championship TCR Scandinavia Touring Car Championship


I would like to see a TCR North America. With proper 20 minutes sprint races. Proper touring cars.
Didn't work last time they tried it however NATCC.

It confirms I don't really follow it...
I assumed the endurance race during Daytona was a one off event.

I agree.

Those TCR cars are used for trackdays?

From an "old" Honda to one of the best cars on the grid. Big improvement.

He's making a big improvement. He looked quite good in that older Honda, so let's see what he can do with front running car. He has a lot to gain from this move

Ouch, damn. Far more than I have paid in the past. I have done track days in an old F3 and Formula Ford Ecoboost and the price was a fraction of that, granted it was driving on an old airfield which was as bumpy as a recently carpet bombed target.

AKK Motorsport sporting executive Henri Karjalainen said that Rata-SM are plans to bring a TCR class to Finland, not necessarily next year, but the year 2023 is target. The category has aroused interest, and TCR cars in Finland is about ten.

TCR cat would be way less than that. They're pretty cheap to run, all things considered.
