	Touring car racing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Touring car racing is a general term for a number of distinct automobile racing competitions in heavily-modified street cars.
		In general, however, touring cars are based upon 4-door 'family' sedans or, more rarely, 2-door coupe cars, while GT racing cars are based upon more exotic vehicles, such as Ferrari 's or Lamborghini 's.
		Underneath the bodywork, a Touring Car is often more closely related to its road-going origins, using many original components and mountings, while a top-flight GT car is often a purpose-built tube-frame racing chassis underneath a cosmetic bodyshell.

	V8 Supercar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To the disappointment of a majority of fans who had watched a long history of Ford-Holden battles in Australian touring car categories since the 1960s, international touring car regulations (which moved from Group A to Supertouring) seemed destined to preclude the Australian-built Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon in the early 90s.
		The first Australian Touring Car Championship under the V8 Supercar rules was won by Glenn Seton with his team-mate former Formula 1 world champion Alan Jones taking second in the championship.
		The championship has run to Appendix J, Group C and Group A regulations before the V8 Touring Car rules.

	HRT - Australian Touring Car Championship 1997.
		Round One of the 1997 Australian Touring Car Championship was held at Melbourne's Calder Park Raceway last Saturday night (March 15th) and it wasn't quite the result the Mobil Holden Racing Team was looking for in defending it's Champion's title.
		Despite neither Murphy or Brock being happy with their cars' set up, Murphy grabbed the start in race one and was never headed for the 20 laps, winning by 11 seconds from Gardner, Seton, Skaife, Jones and Brock.
		Brock was 8th in a car which was still not handling well, as the crew worked to find an ideal set-up.

		The others I noted outside the top 10 are either current V8 Supercar drivers or famous former Australian touring car drivers.
		Well some of those points make me wonder how Ambrose and Dick Johnson were ranked so low, DJ has afterall 5 championships to his name, and IMO that speaks spades more than 5 Bathurst wins as theres consistency involved in winning the championship.
		As fpv_gtho stated, consistency counts for a lot more when winning a championship, then there was the time he lost /broke down before the finish, then got public funding to win the next year, now that is inspirational.

		The Touring class (Custom built racing machines but now with standard BTCC components (eg Brakes) as opposed to the glorious (And expensive) Super Touring days) and the Production class, consisting of slower modified showroom cars (This class now incorporates last years National Saloon Car Championship and so has a large number of entries).
		The other interesting battle was between a train of FOUR cars who seemed determined to occupy the same section of road as they pushed and shoved their way up the hill after Old Hairpin, lap after lap.
