TCR Touring Car

Put a collection of very different cars on the same circuit and let people drive.

You've got things such as the Caterham 420R, Renault Clio, Toyota GR86, Radical SR8, which I'm racing in on the footage on the YouTube version of the pod, TCR machinery, the Ford Mustang, and some Porsches as well.

And even some legacy cars, including the old Porsche 911 GT3 Cup and the Mazda.

mx5s and this week it's at okiyama and that is an absolutely bizarre collection of machinery to throw onto one circuit which is precisely why i've liked that idea because immediately the mentality changes you're dealing with cars of different speeds different braking points, different cornering performance, different drivers with completely different objectives, you've got to manage traffic, you need to watch your mirrors, you're catching cars and you're being caught.

With one lap remaining in Indianapolis, Michael Cooper is chasing Mike Skeen for the GS victory.

Tyler Gonzalez? has just lost the TCR lead against Carl Whitmer.

Then everybody arrives at turn seven, and within a few seconds, both class leads change.

What the shiz? This was crazy finish.

Wasn't paying attention to what kind of door he was leaving open, but Ibiza farm Cooper took advantage of that.

Hell yeah.

In the TCR, Gonzalez retook the lead when Whitmer slid wide at the same exact corner.

Light rain had just begun falling around turn seven in the breaking zone and And that was that change of Lee.

Sorry, literally

you've got all three, BTCC, DTM and TCR.

Yeah.

Why? Right.

I wish it wasn't like

that, but...

And then to finish off, I thought we'd talk about TCR.

Remind me, what is that?

On Saturday it was IMSA main series practice.

Um, and then there was the pilot sport challenge race, which is GT4 and then TCR.

Your cars are hilarious to watch in person.

TCR-

No

... because they-

What are those? I don't-

TCRs are, like, the Civic Type R.

So that is excellent work.

yeah 59 seconds a minute or thereabouts very interesting to see Oliver Campos for E2P Racing local team with the Aston Martin always like to turn out for this race started racing in TCR of course we've seen them here before and it's Henri Chavez who's taken over that Aston Martin and again they were 4.35 in the pit lane that was a pro-am car um but that was the total from pit in to pit out in the actual lane 1 minute 12 I also think I'm going to be honest now

well first of all problems first the Ligier and this has begun before we caught sight of the Ligier from not only motorsport because there's been frantic work in the pit lane this is actually an outlap for Gino Rocco but Gino Rocco all the tires inflated but there's smoke now coming from this Ligier and this is an issue that they've been trying to solve for the last over 12 minutes in the pit It's

barely, barely the first third of the lap.

The Ligier has gone, but the officials from the Royal Automobile Club of Catalunya are just checking to make sure there's no residue of any liquid on the circuit, on the outside there.

That's a high-speed turn in there, and it would be on the loaded side of the car, so the Michelin tyres that are doing all the hard work would be potentially losing their grip.

In and out of the fuel stop for the number, or the all-white, TCR number 102.

As that car heads... for service so they've steered out as long as they felt they could I think that's pretty sensible for the asbest racing one or two car that is another one of the Leon or the Leon Cup racing car that's the the old car not even a Supra that other car the asbest 101 is the TCR DSG which is listed as a Cupra Cooper now a separate brand from Sayat expecting code 60 to be withdrawn in about 60 seconds so standby for the noise as you thread on racing leading with Ayrton, Redon and Alfred Renard is in second place and we are back to green, Chip.

That McLaren Artura GT4 has the speed, hasn't had the consistency.

In TCR, we've got some changes.

Okay.

Actually, there's a few changes.

Remember, they weren't at VIR.

The Andretti Performance Porsche, that's the Cayman GT4 of Jarrett Andretti and Gabby Chavez, is back for only its second start of the year.

In TCR the Stallion Motorsport go Cupra.

Jenson Brickley is in the 77 car alongside Thelthorne Neto.

Mm-hmm.

The TCR, like, it was a DSG or I think you could get it with a sequential.

Those things are so cool looking.

But yeah.
