I thought coming into a GT/touring car/rally series with a homologation special was supposed to be cool unless we all hate the Delta Integrale now

I also like how badly the TCR UK launch is going. In a shocking turn of events the UK did not need a second low-cost touring car series.

they should do a "second chance" thing where any car that DNFs the first race gets to start in the second race if they repair their car fast enough

NGTC which the BTCC uses is also low cost and looks much cooler imo. They missed their chance to become an international series when STCC decided to go to a really expensive DTM-lite series that ended up with single-digit grid entries, but it's definitely succeeding in the UK. I think TCR is in a weird space between looking like production cars and looking like purpose-built race cars and doesn't look as cool as it should.

WRX which I think was a rebranding of the European Rallycross Championship is the "real" Rallycross series though they're doing dumb GRC bullshit like going to a dumb fake rallycross track at Silverstone instead of doing Lydden Hill, which is more or less the spiritual home of rallycross.

I actually liked the "new" silverstone when they first came up with it but it's so sterile. I hate the post-1990 Silverstone with a passion though. What a nothing race track.

Honestly "New" Fuji at least kind of looks like Fuji. And the layout isn't horrible, it just sucks compared to the old circuit. Silverstone's problem is that it has none of the atmosphere of the old track. Fuji's atmosphere is at least still there.

The "best" emasculated race track other than Spa is honestly probably the Red Bull Ring. It's not anywhere near as good as the O-Ring was but it tends to produce entertaining racing more often than not.

I can see an argument for 10-11 at Fuji adding a passing spot but that weird 13-14-15 complex does suck. What's the point of it, stadium seating? That said remember Massa and Kubica loving around in the third sector https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnxUu36-uYw

the WEC stuff is more like the old power/weight rules back in the day where stuff like your minimum weight and tire size was dependent on your engine displacement, which is different than making sure that the lovely rear end BMWs can beat the Ford GTs because BMW is spending a shitload of money to be in the series

MazeOfTzeentch posted:The race for the overall is won, if Toyota are reliable. Toyota have only run 2 trouble free cars at Le Mans, out of the 13 they've brought. There's still a race to be had here. I'm not saying there's no way to gently caress it up but a lot of the unreliability (particularly in last year's race) came from the manufacturer teams battling each other.
