Why would two-door coupés with two or 2+2 seats be called "touring cars"? They are stock GTs, so use that name.

There are four door cars in the Continental series like the Audi S4 and the Subaru WRX. And then Camaros and Mustangs have a long history of competing in touring car racing in Europe, as has the BMW M3.
The only proper GT-cars in the series are actually the Porsches and there aren't even all that many of them.
Bear in mind that I am not talking about the current European series, but about what could have been if they had followed the example of the Americans. You're absolutely right, the current European series is a GT-series, but it
should have been a touring car series!
They should have also added a second division for pocket-rocket cars like the Vokswagen GTI, Mazdaspeed 3, Honda Civic and smaller BMWs like it is the case in the American series.
