I like TCR but I don't know what they want to do here other than potentially kill touring car racing in the UK.

"The BTCC is for works teams" With that depth of knowledge how can they fail!

That car is ugly as sin. All the new WRC cars are because of all the little aero elements.

I'm looking forward to the gravel causing the cars to shed winglets each stage until the cars have basically no down force by the end of the rally because the teams have run out of parts. Edit: Seriously though, the cars just look silly for next year in a good way. F1DriverQuidenBerg fucked around with this message at 05:25 on Dec 15, 2016 |

Speaking of rally, I went to the CRC/NARC/CIRC's Big White Winter Rally with a fellow goon and froze our asses off. It was fun! Highlights include a BRZ going hella sideways hella quick, and a car getting stuck in the snowbank right infront of the spectators getting an army to push them out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yjw5P9tyrfQ Jehde fucked around with this message at 06:33 on Dec 15, 2016 |

I shoulda went to the Rally America event they had here a few years ago. Highlights included rain at the bottom of the course and snow at the top (it was all over the Catskill mountains) and Ken Block running in a vintage Mk2 Escort

My favourite thing about Formula Truck and truck racing in general is that you get the thing where teams will just put 'Scuderia' in their name because Ferrari. So you end up with Scuderia Iveco.

Iveco are an Italian company though, so it'd be perfectly okay for them to use the Italian word for team in their name.

Yeah say what you want about STCC, they have decent tracks and going to TCR-spec might be positive.
