Touring car nirvana
I thought I'd compile an idea running through a lot of threads and ask: what's your ideal, universal touring car formula, now that Super Touring is dead?
I'd go for three-litre engines, as many or as few cylinders as you like (though most would be V6s), rear- and four-wheel drive allowed with weight equalisation, big wheels and wings but a degree of control over said wings, and, of course, NO HATCHBACKS! I'd see a list (by no means comprehensive) of eligible cars being: BMW 3-series Lexus IS Renault Laguna Nissan Primera Audi A4 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Volvo S60 Ford Mondeo Vauxhall/Opel Vectra Honda Accord Alfa Romeo 156 SEAT Cordoba VW Passat Peugeot 406 |

I love the current DTM-formula - I would just like to see more manufacturers in it.
Alfa BMW Volvo Honda etc. That would be enought to make me happy

No hatches Honda Accord nissan primera/Infinity G20 Volkswagen Bora/Jetta Seat Cordoba Volvo s40 Ford Mondeo Vauxhall/Chevrolet Vectra-Cavalier BMW 330 Mercedes C-class Saab 9.3 toyota/Lexus IS MG Alfa Romeo Audi Dodge Neon or stratus Hyundai Accent Saloon The list is huge but 2 from every manufacturer, that'd be the best |

aussie v8s, are currently the best form of touring cars, but i would rather see a return for the mid 90s touring cars, they were by far the best cars and the the cars that the everyday man in the street could connect with..
no hatches or coupes, 4 dr salloons only, restricted wings and 2.0 ltr only. audi a4 bmw 3 series vauxhall vectra ford mondeo volvo s40 renault laguna nissan primera skoda octavia alfa 156 mg zs honda accord pug 406 Last edited by daz90; 8 Jun 2003 at 08:54. |

Group A, with abit more work done on getting the turbo equivalency factor correct, that would be perfect. There would be loads of different cars from different manufacturers and different shapes and sizes. Class racing based on the road going cars, what Touring Cars is all about.
Either that or Group N+, with both the under 3 litres and over 3 litres regulations. The problem with all of the current one's is that they are either restricted to small bore cars, or large capacity cars only, or in the case of the DTM or V8Supercars, aren't Touring Cars at all. |
