Castrol Canadian Touring Car Championship

[Josh1985]

I'm just wondering if anyone else here is a fan of the Canadian Touring Car Championship? It's a good series that was founded in just 2007 and is gaining a lot of momentium very quickly.

Any youtube footage?

Meh, not really. Just some in car stuff really. They don't yet have a tv deal but I hear they will likley have one in place for 2011.

Apparently rather ill-defined ones. It would appear that under the regs, provided you could get a Subaru STI and provided you modified the "stock" version you could approximate something close to a WRC Group N car.

Most of the modifications allowed are "free".

The Castrol Touring Car series is just Ontario based and is really just an amateur season that grew out of the ashes of the old Firehawk Enduroseries.

They allow a mishmash of stuff in it, and most of the car are GT cars that are in various mod's. I have seen everything to a GT-5 class 1300 cc Honda Civic that is 20 years old or more running right up to some pretty serious GT-1 class Corvettes and Porsches.

They actually put on a pretty good show for the most part. Doing track rescue it's been a while since I've seen a series get 50 cars out to a single race weekend here...

Looks like a fun series. But that's in Canada and I'm in Ireland so won't be able to watch the racing any time soon. Thanks for putting me wide to it nonetheless.
