Seems a strong line up. Any other entry confirmed?

Mark0994 · 22 Apr 2020, 07:38 (Ref:3972161)

Mike and Michelle will be back in Honda Civic, two car team this time. I doubt we won't see Fugel, since he was furious when they stole his podium finish at Nurburgring.
Buri and Nico Gruber will be racing Hyundai's for Engstler.
I believe that's it.

6- car entry doesn't sound very German.

Racing Harz · 22 Apr 2020, 15:56 (Ref:3972236)

Racing One with min. one Audi.
3. Engstler Hyundai will be again the VIP Car.
Albert Legutko with a old Civic.
Toxic Racing will do a few races in an Opel.
Lubner want to race with an Opel.
IMC Motorsport with one or two Opel.

Sounds pretty good, hopefully will see the cars and more non-Hyundays/Hondas.
Wonder if there is any chance of Leuchter or Langeveld return to TCR Germany seems their continuation in WTCR seems to be highly unlikely.

Nice to see Lausitsring in the mix, quite a nice track

Rubio · 29 May 2020, 12:38 (Ref:3979147)

Well, that´s nothing new... confirmed in german media two months ago... TCT is a bit slow with TCR Germany News.

Team Halder have withdrawn from the championship.

A disagreement between the team and the DSMB over the shutdown and disembark process for the FK7 Civic TCR resulted in Mike Halder being disqualified.

The agreement was that with the FK7, drivers could deactivate the fire bomb in parc ferme prior to releasing the belts and getting out of the car, to avoid accidental activation of the extinguisher system. This in itself, is messy, expensive, and potentially hazardous to anyone close by the car. The DSMB have subsequently backflipped on the agreement and issued Halder a penalty, maintaining that the driver can only switch the car off and get out - nothing else.

For something so trivial, TCR Germany cannot afford to lose more cars.

Mark0994 · 16 Aug 2020, 05:40 (Ref:3995676)

I have no words for TCR Germany leading structure. This isn't their first idiotic decision. They are doing that since 2016. It's really sad when you think that series went from 40 to barely 10 cars in 2 years...
I was kid back when ST was main show, but i believe that STW suffered from same issues.

Why would the extinguisher go off when the driver gets out? That sounds like a design flaw.

Apparently the switch to set off the firebomb can be accidentally knocked when releasing the seatbelts.

Perhaps it is a flaw in the ergonomics of the car, but if they were given dispensation before, why not now?

How about suggesting JAS Motorsport to produce a proper car?
