May 16 @Queensland Raceway, who's game to sign up? My birthday is on the 6 if anyone wants to give me a present.

The rear three-quarter reminds me of the 3. I look again. At that angle, it's similar to a Lexus IS as well.

A first, it looks like an Erebus V8SC from the front. Then I look further back and see a WTCC TC1 Chevrolet. Looking at the whole thing, I keep seeing a C-Elysee WTCC. Now I see an Erebus V8SC again.
 
Just watched TCR race 1 from Spa. Great stuff, a fun race to watch. 24 car grid, 6 manufacturers. Seems like every time I watch a TCR race, the grid gets better looking and more diverse.
 
Race 2 was a bit of a destruction derby... Still fairly good, though.
 
The Lada Vesta TCR seems to be near completion.

Here was a Facebook post about it (I think it is making its race debut?)

I'm looking forward to them being back around (even though there is a privateer in WTCC).

So, how long does everyone think until the WTCC amalgamates with TCRIS? I give it until all the close to being done cars are on track with a team running them plus a year. I know the FIA are rather stuck up about "we have to come up with it to consider running it" but my god, manufacturers are jumping in left, right, and centre. It's like those home videos where a kid breaks open a piñata and all the other kids scramble and jump on the candy, while the FIA is standing there clueless and still blindfolded.
 
Eh Team

Never. Because the same FIA reason. It's cost effective and producing exciting racing. And i'm sure Lotti wouldn't want the FIA involved either. He has his ideas and has implemented them successively whilst the FIA has dragged the WTCC further and further down.
 
I will not breakdown. I will not breakdown. I will not breakdown. I will not break. down. JAAP VAN LAGENNNNNN.
 
I'm 4 laps into the Monza race and I have to say the action's a bit... juvenile and amateur so far. :/
 
So asking about, anyone here at Oulton Park BTCC next weekend?
 
Aiden Moffat's driving has been disgusting this weekend, and a lot of people have been unfairly defending by forcing the car trying to pass them off the track.

To be honest, I'd say it's a bit far to call it disgusting, but the move he put on Sutton was unnecessary. He didn't need to squeeze him off the track like he did, was somewhat reminiscent of the move James Thompson put on Plato's Laguna at the same place in 1999(?).

Otherwise, I'd say he's defensive driving has been perfectly acceptably, if not very decent IMO, bar that incident.

Edit: Apparently Moffat said he didn't see Sutton, hence the move, but even I'm not 100% that was the case. I know they move to the right over the Hilltop thought, but still.

What's new? Barely a race meeting goes by without him finishing at least one race in the gravel trap. Some weekends he does quite well and only takes himself out of the race.
