TCR is the SRO internationally homologated manufacturer produced touring car regs. You can, and a few in HSR have, buy the car directly at a dealer and take it racing. I think SVRA actually runs the DSG and sequential in separate classifications, think that covers old VW and the Audis

All the TC car run in assorted spec to add to TC class, BMW, Toyota, Mini and Mazda just to make sure no one really knows what's gonna run. But without those added cars I think they would have only Hyundais and Hondas in TCR but I don't even see them any more in SRO list. Alfa runs their only US program in IMSA with an exception as they don't sell that car here but pay to play.

Personally am surprised they aren't more straight TCR cars in SRO Americas, IMSA drew 13 cars across 4 makes, Audi, Hyundai, Honda and an Alfa. Looks like ViR drew 25 TC class cars but it looks like they are all WC homologation not TCR

I don't know what a C7 Corvette GT3 is, but one is entered for Nashville:

It's a Callaway C7, older type GT3 and it has been participating in GT America for a couple of years now. Schultis is of (Dutch) SuperCar Challenge and ALMS LMPC 'fame', supporting his racing exploits with the 'Dress For Less' brand.

He can be credited for giving Renger van der Zande the opportunity to establish his reputation in IMSA when they teamed up for Starworks, resulting in multiple class wins (not sure if they ever won a championship as it also were Core's LMPC heydays).

Thanks, the name sounded familiar but couldn't remember from where.

They Indy 8 should have been open to at least GT2 cars. I'm not sure why SRO never has been open either to the Porsche GT 992 Cup and Lambo Super Trofeo cars running either. I do agree to not have GT4.

Looks like DXDT will carry over drivers and one new pairing in a Vette

"He indicated that its existing driver lineups, consisting of Bryan Sellers/Scott Smithson and Corey Lewis/Jeff Burton will continue, with one pairing in a Corvette and another in a Mercedes for the season, alongside an all-new lineup for the second Corvette." S365 notebook from Indy

Gotta be honest, the Indy 8 hours does nothing for me. Can we have the GTWC America round somewhere better than this? 8 hours of Road America or something.

It could use a few more cars but I like it so far. Road America is too big of a track to run this race on. Watkins Glen on the short course (no boot) would be my pick in the future.

Unfortunately a bit late in the evening for me.

I love GTWC, inc GTWC America. It's just a bit flat that the biggest race of the year is...this. Imagine if GTWC Europe decided their IGTC event was the 15 hours of Barcelona or something.

I wouldn't be giving Ratel any ideas if I were you...

Actually, SRO are quite pragmatic when it comes to venues/schedules. Until there is an uptick in numbers, there won't be a change to the Indy 8 Hours. Indianapolis provides other benefits that make up for the "meh" circuit; it's the best circuit facility-wise that SRO could reasonably use in America.

I agree with you. The Indy event does nothing for me. Indy is a fantastic facility and has amazing history but i just find the track layout very boring. Grandstands virtually empty too.

Not sure it helps that from about 20 minutes into the race it was very obvious that one of the BMWs was going to win.

GT3, GT4, Cup cars (Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo, Ford Mustang), fastest TC cars and boom you have 50 entries. Instant classic.

This would improve it for sure, but I just think the track is the most uninspiring in North America lol. Maybe they could keep the venue and just sort out the infield. Everything after that fast chicane needs redone.

Just remember, if you want to have other circuits you may have to suffer the cost. Indy has the trackside facilities for the sponsors to press the flesh and make deals that can fund the rest of the season. I don't think this event is really for us but more for the teams to sell themselves
