how are treaded tires better F1 tried that and are now back to slicks. dtm bttc are using carbon bodies so we should now do that because they dont use lexan is that what you want go ahead and take out you front drive belt or shaft so it will be more like you just said. i rember being old school and running real TC bodies like the bmw m3, clk gtr, infinty g35 and, the dodge stratus. I like the class idea just dont like the idea of running treaded tires

History lesson the reason of modern tc racing is this class

Class 1 Touring Cars was a motor racing category for modified production based sedans. The class was introduced by the FIA in 1993 along with Class 2 Touring Cars, the latter officially becoming known as Super Touring cars from 1995. Class 1 permitted more liberal modifications to the vehicles than those allowed for Class 2 cars.

Class 1 regulations restricted engines to a maximum of six cylinders, 2.5 litres capacity and four valves per cylinder. The basic unit had to be derived from a production engine made in quantity by the same manufacturer as the car, although it did not have to be from the same model as that being raced and could be extensively modified. All wheel drive, traction control, anti lock brakes and electronically controlled differentials were permitted. Aerodynamic aids were free below the wheel centreline and, from 1995, suspension systems could be purpose built rather than production based.

Class 1 Touring Cars contested the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft series from 1993 to 1995, the International Touring Car Series in 1995 and for the International Touring Car Championship in 1996.

Only three manufacturers, Alfa Romeo, Mercedes-Benz and Opel, competed in Class 1 during the short history of the category and the withdrawal of Alfa Romeo and Opel from the International Touring Car Championship at the end of 1996 effectively spelt the end of the class
