	Touring car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A touring car was a popular car body style in the early 20th century, being a larger alternative to the runabout and the roadster.
		In terms of percentage, the 5-passenger touring car model was Ford most popular body type and accounted for 44% of all Model T's (cars, trucks and chassis) sold over the model's eighteen-plus year life span; Ford's second most popular body style during the same period was its Model T based truck.
		In motorsport, a touring car is one generally possessing a bodyshell very similar to a production model, usually that of a popular saloon (for example, the Ford Mondeo), but with various modifications permitted "under the shell"; these vary according to the series.

	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 Ferraris or Lamborghinis.
		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.

	The Classic Touring Car Racing Club ~
		Cars which had raced for some time within club saloon championships suddenly found themselves uncompetitive due to the advances made in the early eighties by the manufacturers.
		The period from the mid-sixties to 1982 was the era of modified touring cars.
		The earlier cars, up to 1970, ran to Group 5 regulations and it was common to see Porsche 911s running as touring cars.

	Doncaster Touring Car Club - Camber
		Camber is the angle between the wheel's centerline (seen from the front of the car) and a vertical line.
		Chassis roll is where a car enters a corner, the inside suspension lifts and the outside suspension compresses, causing the wheels to lean outwards (positive camber).
		Putting on a few degrees of negative camber means that when the car leans into a corner there is a greater surface area of tyre in contact with the track giving more grip.

	What Is a Pro Touring Car and How do I Build One
		Most of these cars are classics from the fifties to the seventies and most of them are modified for high performance.
		A pro touring car is souped up not only to go fast but to stop fast and corner fast.
		I hope to build a car like that some day and i've got a plan for it, but for the near future I also have a plan for a car on something like a blue collar budget.

	Most important feature in a touring car
		The single most important feature in a touring car is high quality parts, nothing is more annoying then to have to buy large quantities of hop-ups to be competitive or to have cheap parts breaking.
		These cars are low to the ground and have little shock movement compared to offroads and the chassis needs to be STIFF for me. All my touring cars have double decker graphite chassis, i believe the strongest.
		The single most important feature on a touring car to me is the upper plate (on those that have them) because they determine, for the most part, where your electronic components go which determines the weight transfer of the car.

		Sega Touring Car Championship is another fine example of Sega's AM ANEX in-house game development team and their contribution to Sega's fine arcade coin-op racing heritage.
		In may be initially difficult to notice the difference a car's modification makes because of the sheer sense of speed and the difficulty in handling these cars, but you'll notice the difference as you get more familiar with the game.
		This means that a car you may have thought perfect for a particular track actually turns out to be terrible for all other the other tracks.

	2006 BMW 3-Series Touring - The Car Connection
		The Touring shares the same wheelbase, length and width as the sedan, but it is slightly higher due to the fact that BMW has modified the set-up of the suspension to meet the higher weight of the car (it's heavier by 44 lb) and the requirements of a wagon version.
		The adjustments resulted in a somewhat more comfortable ride, but you cannot say the Touring is not agile and the directional stability is excellent and steering is precise.
		With this generation, the Touring's cargo capacity has been increased by 0.88 cu ft to 16.2 cu ft, compared to that of the previous model.

		The car had initially suffered from a power on understeer condition, which could not be balanced with the suspension.
		At this point the car was limited by the combined traction of the front and rear inside tires.
		The car was finally neutral from corner entry to exit and power could be applied 2-3 car lengths before either a rear wheel or front wheel drive vehicle.

	Favourite Touring Car - Ultimatecarpage.com forums
		The best touring car has to be the Opel Calibra ITC car driven by Manuel Reuter (dont no if spelt right) ive seen it in action at Goodwood in 2003 and it is quick as anything on the track today.
		This is a hard question, as I have to cover about 40 years of actively watching touring cars, and of course you got the best memories of the ones that you saw when younger.
		Competing against the 4 wheel drive Alfa Romeo 155 and Opel Calibra, Bernd Schneider took the car to two DTM championships in 1994, and 1995, before moving on to the ITC in 1996.

	Sport: TV’S Touring Terrors - - Car and Driver - June 2003
		For this season, the team built a new RSX Type-S, and there was speculation that it wouldn’t match the pace of the old Integra.
		The RSX and its new strut-front suspension posed a challenge for the team because all the previous Hondas and Acuras the team had raced (RealTime debuted in 1987) used Honda’s previous unequal-length control-arm front suspension.
		The car feels the most stable when the power is on, so it’s kind of a roundabout way of making sure the driver is always on the gas.
