[NSWCROW]

I’m talking to some old guys who here, who were here and saw that. They kept racing and no safety cars.

1st TCR race must've been early in the day , was fu** all there going by the tv

It's a long way from matching a supercars crowd. But there was a fair amount of people. It might not have been chock a block, but people shitting on the class can't say hardly anyone turns up.

 

[hey shorty]

Season finale at The Bend in November, should be good.

ARG has the rights to the extra Bathurst event, what chance a round of the World series, it'd fit that series with its 2019 events at Macau & Malaysia.

Well remember the buzz around the WTCC round at Bathurst 1987.

Hey Kwality , not only is TCR here, but it'll be at Bahturst twice a year as well!

I did see it, was looking to add Macau WTCR, but Suzuka got in the way - its me, got it arse about.

The VW was flying,trust MPC can get those Brighty cars going a bit quicker.

Bring on Macau then in 2020, Bathurst.

I'm glad you finally arrived.

Worth waiting for (about this time next year):
..... the weekend will feature a field of up to 55 two-litre touring cars competing in a 500km two-driver TCR event. Organisers will invite touring car teams from all over the world to compete in the event.

British Touring Car star Andy Priaulx*, having competed in four Bathurst 1000s, said getting the chance to return to Mount Panorama was exciting.
“Bathurst is one of the best race tracks in the world — it’s a kind of mix between Spa and Macau,” Priaulx said.
“It will be fantastic to drive there in a TCR car that will perform really well over the top.
“I have very fond memories of my previous experiences on the circuit and I am sure that the TCR race will provide a very exciting show.”

The new event means, for the first time in a calendar year, the Mount Panorama circuit will be used for five events including the Bathurst 12-Hour and the Bathurst 1000 endurance races.

Seen some questioning how TCR could pull 55 cars at Bathurst, WTCR had a 32 car grid at Macau 10 days back, lets do it ....

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Well, I mean 55 cars for an event with no history is a bit of a stretch. How many cars do the 6 Hour gets?

If it got WTCR status, its a chance, fingers crossed.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

55 may seem ok. But 55 of the same car I don't think will work. 55 works with a multi class grid, and drivers that aren't brain dead and can drive appropriately under the pressure of dealing with traffic.

If you had 55 cars of the same regs, people also get dispirited if they're shit and won't be motivated to turn up again. Low 40s should be the target, with more as a bonus imo.

 

[Klyntonius]

55 just sounds like to many cars to even run in the race. Imagine how far back around the last corner the starting grid world have to go! Not to mention how steep a drop off in driver talent there would be that far back. 40 would both be more manageable and a magnificent accomplishment. It is still a very large grid.

It will be the slowest race in history. TCR is as boring as bat shit.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Yeah, it’ll be like watching the V8s at the GP.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

It’ll be like watching the Sandown 500 last weekend.
