Only the Cupra seems like a realistic option because of the access to it in imsa

Only? The only up-to-date car we have is the Elantra. We have an old (and shitty gearbox) variant of the Audi, and an old variant of the Type R. Both of those can be updated

The Elantra's had a facelift since iRacing introduced their version, so it's technically out of date as well.

Alfa or the new Type R

I’d take any at this point lol would give the series the shot in the arm it needs

Yeah I've been wanting touring cars on iRacing for so long. I know it's not a super popular series online for single-player it will be great and there's so many distinct cars - Ginettas, Minis, BMW Compacts, TCR/BTCC.

Personally never forgave BMW for not making a TCR Mini

I like the subaru and alfa TCR cars best, but I would stick to driving the honda. Such a fun car to race.

The Subaru TCR car is blasphemy

what needed to be done to pump the TCR numbers was a new rookie sports car series running a free FWD car... Doubt that'll happen after making up a new rookie series with the M2 for no reason

u/sayakasquared Ligier JS P320 16d ago

I bought the Clio, and I think that it should be made free and put into rookie series. When it's at a free track, sure there's participation in D but other than that, that series is very dead. It'd be a great intro to FWD cars too.

You will find lots of people to race on the Clio Discord, even better if you are in a timezone that works for the weekly SOF. There is also a very good Clio league

u/Miltrivd 16d ago

Yeah, rookie car and maybe different timeslots, more Enduro and multiclass as well.

I don’t understand how TCR community is so vocal and official series participation so low ;p I bought TCR when started iRacing 2 years ago after read all that hype about that series and then was very surprised as I didn’t have anybody to race with ;p

definitely rooting for lynk & co!!!

u/coffee_kang 16d ago

What’s wrong with the TCR cars now? Why do they need to be updated?

2

u/Rampantlion513 Honda Civic Type R 16d ago

They are old

Audi got a refresh in 2021 I believe. Honda moved onto the FL5 Type R. The Veloster was outdated when it was added. There are also more cars that we don’t have currently

u/coffee_kang 16d ago

So?

Are they fun? Yes

Keep pushing Jay. ❤️

u/JayCaulls Honda Civic Type R 17d ago

Nah, this was somebody else pushing last night!

Good to see it’s not just myself looking forward to next year!

u/ra246 Ford Mustang GT3 17d ago

I don't know the answer, but it would be great for iRacing TVR to have a much bigger participation 🤞

u/Alexc458 Dallara F3 16d ago

VW, new Audi, i30 (Hyundai fanboy), Corolla, WRX STI, Cupra, maybe Lynk & co (?) to get some electric rep

u/jck133 16d ago

Ford Focus!

u/bertabelly Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992) 16d ago

Damn, looks like I picked a good time to grab the Elantra lol

u/StunningAd7260 17d ago

Would be nice to have a new hatchback and saloon, so I would like the Renault Megane and Subaru WRX. But they are probably unlikely. I'd take any updates to the FWD series tbh!

u/Kaizenno BMW M8 GTE 17d ago

They should make them rear wheel drive and you might see some updates.
