B.L.Z.BUB Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I've gotta be honest the V8's havent excited me as much as they used to. It got really stale, same old. However I watch the BTC and I'm on the edge of my seat yelling at the TV. This can only be a good thing. Just need a V8 camry in there like NASCAR.

towe001 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 For some reason i've been getting into watching the v8's of late. Sadly (or is that, thankful) a v8 camry won't be in the mix. From what i can understand the car must be factory rwd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irokin Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 From what i can understand the car must be factory rwd. I don't know what difference that will make from next year. They'll all be the same tube frame chassis with panels slapped over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's_AUDM_Yo Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 They don't have to be factory RWD. When the were talking about COTF a while ago. They said it opened the doors for manufacturers like Hyundai as well and they don't build a single RWD car for the Aussie market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't the btcc be the same thing, a tube frame chassis for strength, safety, yadda yadda and leave the driven wheels up to the manufacturer ?

It's_AUDM_Yo Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) Don't quote me on this but I think btcc is on Tube front and rear end. btcc is supposed to be "closely related" to the road cars ei look similar, some drive wheels etc Its probably the most exciting racing around Edit: we don't get the genesis here Edited October 19, 2012 by It's_AUDM_Yo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Protagonist Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I've heard conflicting stories on Mercedes of if their coming into the mix or not. Mercedes/AMG aren't officially entering a factory team like Nissan are, it's being handled by a third-party team (Erebus Motorsport, who run SLSs in the GT Championship) with next-to-no factory support Don't quote me on this but I think btcc is on Tube front and rear end. btcc is supposed to be "closely related" to the road cars ei look similar, some drive wheels etc BTCC is in the middle of a transistion between Super2000 spec and a Next-Gen Touring Car, both of which are based on road cars (S2000 moreso) but the NGTC has more standardisation in the bodywork (fixed chassis width for instance) and drivetrain.

Jono.C Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 V8's aren't exciting at all. I still watch old Bathurst re-runs from the 70's/80's. Back then Bathurst was actually good. You had Torana's getting smashed through corners by mini's. Now they're all the same car with a few different lights and some different paint. Even early 90's you had the r32's and ma70's etc all in one race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
