Topic: Supertouring


  
  Supertouring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Supertouring, Class 2 or Class II Touring Cars were the rules laid out by the FIA for national touring car racing in 1994, based on the 2.0 L formula created for the BTCC in 1990.
Supertouring replaced Group A as the norm in nearly every touring car championship across the world, but escalating costs and the withdrawal of works team caused the category to collapse in the late 1990s.
Unfortunately, during the Supertouring's long run, the category would suffer two fatal accidents in 1995 alone, Gregg Hansford at Phillip Island and Keith O'Dor, at Avus fatal accident was as a result of a broken neck caused by their car being t-bone.

 British Touring Car Championship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After the domination (and expense) of the Ford Sierra Cosworth in the late 1980s, the BTCC was the first to introduce a 2.0 L formula, in 1990, which later became the template for the Supertouring class that exploded throughout Europe.
Currently, the cars used are 2.0 L saloons, based on models from a variety of manufacturers, using both "BTC Touring" and Super 2000 regulations (the technical regulations used in the World Touring Car Championship).
Team Dynamics also achieved the first overall independents race win in the 'Supertouring' era when Matt Neal won a round of the 1999 BTCC at Donington park, earning the team prize-money of £250,000.

 BTCC - The SuperTouring Years
At its peak, the series had ten manufacturers participating and was pulling in crowds in similar numbers to that of an average Premier football match.
Even though the popularity of the BTCC spawned a number of spin-offs (books, magazines and even video games), there still appears to be very few Web sites that cover the series during one of its most exciting and successful periods.
It is being developed by SuperTouring enthusiasts rather than dedicated motorsport authors, so if you find any inaccuracies then please let us know.

 BTCC - The SuperTouring Years : SuperTouring America
North America has to be one of the most unlikely contries in which to see SuperTouring racing.
The USA have never been keen to adopt European motorsport of any kind, favouring their own breed of racing, but the North America Touring Car Championship (NATCC) did become a reality in 1996, but unfortunately suffered from a continual lack of full manufacturer support.
Organising the series for Forsythe was Roger Elliot, vice president of Forsythe Racing, with assistance from TOCA president Alan Gow.

Supertouring - Best era of the BTCC and it had proper drivers.
What are you going on about nik this season is great as was last season, ok the supertouring days were good but you cant say the drivers driving this season are not proper drivers, i prefer last season to any other season in the world.
I think what I would say the main difference between supertouring and the BTCC now, is that with supertouring, you could make even a cack base car into a good racer (and I'm expecting you all to give me examples to prove me wrong)

 DICKINSON MODEL MOTORSPORT - Volvo 850 BTCC 'Q8'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
As the SuperTouring car era dawned on the British Touring Car Championship in 1994 Volvo made a welcome return back to the championship with an 850 estate car.
After the laughter stopped at the press launch the smiles were soon wiped off the oppositions faces as the huge Volvo was more than on the pace in the hands of Rickard Rydel and Jan Lammers.
This for me is the best ever BTCC car as I have fond memories going to the circuits in Britain and watch these bulky and hugley entertaining cars hunt in pairs and over power the pack of SuperTouring cars, a sight that will ne sorely missed for the BTCC fans.

The tires used for the acceleration runs were worn out 16-inch all-season tires.
Comeskey has found that 16-inch tires provide better handling and acceleration performance than the mambo 17-inch types, proving once again that SuperTouring-size wheels and tires don’t work well unless they are matched up with SuperTouring horsepower and a racing suspension.
While a 0.3-second improvement is significant, a optimum wheel and tire combination would surely improve this margin further.

I used to think the FIA should organise things so that the DTM was like the Formula One of touring cars, and national series being like feeders under supertouring rules.
