2024 TCR Australia Season Chat

really do think it is simply a case of too many 'upper tiers' in too small a market.

tcr did have the potential to do something good. it was different to what was current. it was a door into a european series.

but for whatever folk believe to be the reason it just never got its roots deep enough. disappointingly I think it is time to pack its bags and walk away at the end of this series.

having said that it has announced a 'world tour' again at the bend with the sc500 event. perhaps making tcr into a 'summer series' where it's not fighting against the other racing categories so much, and the hope of better weather/crowds could work for it?

TCR managed to field only 12 cars with one third of the field Rogers entries.

The Fanatec GT Series also only had 12 cars for the race.  And this one was a three hour go, no the two one hour races.  A 12 car race in a short sprint three race format for TCR is somewhat palatable, but a three hour race with 12 cars was unbearable to me.

Too bad for this racing series.  It is on life support.
