Big troubles for Comini and Morbidelli.
Agree with everything

Not bad Race 2.
But look like BOP is too light for Alfa and too hard for Audi and Opel
I mean we have 15 Audi's in TCR Germany with 45kg, and Comini can't fight with others. Maybe it's Comtoyou is new team but i think that Files will dominate it once again.

In Oschersleben at the test the Audi was - with BoP - superquick!

First time actually watching a race. The racing is good, but man do the cars sound horrendous. The current turbo-4 era of touring cars is dreadful from a sound standpoint. The tone is bad, but they don't even sound like they're going fast, if that makes sense?

Great racing last weekend.

The Alfa quick but seems not the easiest car under braking.

So far WestCoast is disappointing.

The BTCC commentators can't shut their mouth for a second so the engine noise is less.

Is it just me or were the Bahrain races more exciting than usual.

Georgia was ok, but the first Bahrain race especially was action packed

Listening to a YouTube video from Donington from one of the posters in the Donington thread and I have to say they sound well, not too dissimilar to the Super Touring car

Comparing to 5-cylinder and V6 Super Tourers is a bit disingenious (of course they sound better!), but I do agree that Super Tourers sound better than modern touring cars.

BTCC seem to sound fairly ok for a 4-cylinder turbo, maybe because they are a bit more tuned. The more stock motors of TCR, don't sound too good at all.

What you can't portray in video, or is difficult to, is just how LOUD the BTCC cars are trackside for the spectators. Side exit exhausts are pretty cool too.

Maxime Potty, too. Really good entry for Spa.

Great to see Huff in for the majority of the season.

Kia is still not there, Ficza will race a SEAT in Spa. I think STARD is a bit late with the deliveries, Botka didn't race last weekend in Oschersleben too, only CRM in Portugal did.

But it's maybe better for Ficza, he was good with SEAT in Georgia. And 24 cars is still very good, maybe there will be someone else also.

If I am correct so far STARD delivered two cars. One to Portugal and one to Sweden.

Yes. But there are also two Kias in both International and German series entry list. Maybe late orders.
