TCR Series UK

[Adriano0904]

I know this series is coming to the UK next year and have looked at some of the press releases. Having never watched it, don't know if the international series is shown on TV at all? Was wondering how it compares to the BTCC, looking at the car specs they seem to be similar, but understood the TCR cars are more of an off the shelf product? Cost wise is it meant to be cheaper? Also how will it work with two similar series in the UK, is it likely to attract teams who may be in the BTCC at the moment. Any thoughts?

Thanks, will be interesting to see how it compares to the BTCC, lap times, how close the racing is etc. It looks like all the cars are FWD, is this a regulation or just the fact no one has developed a RWD car?

Guess it won't be shown on terrestrial TV so won't attract the audience that the Btcc gets. Unless one of the satellite channels starts showing it. It's coming to Knockhill which is my local track in May I will certainly go to see what it is like.

Like I said it will be interesting to see if it takes off in the UK and what sort of grids they actually get. I do think the lack of TV coverage might be an issue that holds it back.
