Peugeot 306 with s15 front lights im sure it was done before max power days...
£90k is Very steap also depending on how long this championship stays around
Looks like if someone tried to draw the Silvia S15, did the headlights, but forgot what the rest of it looked like
@@DarkStryder360 yeah there's definitely a bit of S15 in there!
I don't know what they are thinking with this. If Tamiya designed a 306 rear ended by a Renault 19, this is what you'd have. They tried the same thing with formula T cars about 20 years ago & that totally died off. Just too expensive from the outset and a very small market to sell it on to. JSCC with the saxos or something using the BMW minis would be a far better choice as a junior BTCC support series.
I do have to say that the NGTC cars have actually been very successful with years of large grids and a variety of manufacturers. It has only been since the hybrids have been introduced that grids have dropped along with the manufacturers which is a shame and seen a lot of top drivers have to leave too. The cars are fantastic i think and I like the mix (or what used to be) of fwd and rwd cars and how they balanced out.
As for the toca cars, they are RIDICULOUSLY expensive and i think will flop as a result. why race for £90k as a 14-17 year old when a ginetta junior car (also 14-17) is about £40k can be raced in other series and has a sequential gearbox. Yes you wont get itv live tv coverage with btcc but it is literally less than half the cost. and i imagine entry fees will be extortionate too just because they can.
Oh for the days of Super Touring, and/or DTM with those glorious tech rich beasts......(and silly costs/ budgets).
Current Touring cars aren't particularly exciting......
This is something that the French would normally come up with. WTF.
Only £90,000+... 😅
@@DarkStryder360 yep, bargain 🤣
Awful, lumpy looking, costly, over-engineered, plastic Renault 19, full of what looks to be a load of MX5 running gear. A gen 4 MX5 Cup car costs about 50 grand. This will cost upwards of 78 grand. A gen 4 MX5 Cup car has compatibility globally. A 78 grand restomod attempting to recapture a bit of the glory days, whilst attracting absolutely nothing to the series in terms of manufacturer involvement (unless Chevron make a 4 door saloon that I'm unaware of), funnily enough has compatibility with sweet sod all. Whilst I'm aware that the gen 4 MX5 is hardly a saloon car, it is at least A CAR, and what a shame it'll be if this kills off the JSCC, which also is a junior series for tin tops that uses AN ACTUAL CAR, albeit one that's getting on a bit itself now. BTCC once again assuming that it's far bigger than it actually is. You can't ride on the hype of the late 90's forever
