And not a single racetrack has been announced...[/QUOTE]

Is that normal then to announce dates but no tracks?

[NaBUru38]

Yes, unfortunately.

Sometimes racetracks are announced with four weeks of anticipation.

Not only it is normal, but sometimes even announced tracks get changed (cof cof, El Zonda, cof cof) within weeks of the event, and it is specially common with TC2000 and Top Race.

On the other hand, last year both series "revived" some traditional national tracks (9 de Julio and San Jorge) and was a nice surprise for fans of those.
That said, both tracks need a lot of work, San Jorge, in particular, was really bad.

Not many drivers I know.

The TC has drawn nearly all the talent in the country.

Lets say "not many drivers" and let it at that...

[uesugi kenshin]

Will the conflict between ACTC and CDA lead to drivers choosing one side or the other A program of TC,Pickups and TN must be the more appealing so will it lead to the collapse of TC2000 and Toprace?

[NaBUru38]

The TC2000 can continue to exist just like the Top Race.

The big question is which manufacturers will continue and which will leave.

What's the deal with not announcing the race tracks in Argentina until late? It's even the same with TCR South America.

It is a big country - do fans not travel distances to watch, and need to make plans? Or are they mainly interested in the local city fans at each event?

It tends to because the negotiations aren't finished either because there is no settlement on the money part or because the track is awaiting work to be deemed ready for receiving the races.
Last year they announced "El Zonda" but then cancelled it because... well the track was pretty much abandoned in an awful state and the work to put it in working order wasn't finished (idk if the work even started before)

This also has the side effect that sometimes they end racing back to back or even in the same weekend in the same or a close circuit to another series, like last year's San Nicolas (TN) and Rosario (Top Race) (Both in Santa Fe province) that hurt both races attendance. The "Villicum" marathon of 2022 also had an effect on public with races held there since august till november (every national series went there) with the TC last race of the year having very few people in there compared with previous years (The scorching heat also had something to do with that)

EDIT: TL;DR, Every series tends to work alone with their deals with circuits and because of that the calendar ends being a mess.

On a better note, teasers of De Benedictis Mustang (This is DTA's Homologation chasis).
I love how they implemented the number on the car, it was a big mistery on where they would put them on the new cars with them having less "window" space

[TuteZaek]

The TC2000 announced the "Copa Rookie Latam"
A parallel championship destined to "rookies" and "Latinoamerican drivers" that has a "Money" prize of 30 million AR$ for the winning driver and 10 millons for the team, that will be awarded in the form of "budget" for the 2025 championship of TC2000 and/or Top Race.
To be elegible for winning, the driver and team need to participate in every race of the year.




The only think i don't figure out is why only limit it to "latin america"... it would be nice if it would apply to drivers from europe too.

TC News:
This is De Benedictis' new Mustang




This is Tobias Martines new Torino (by Trotta Racing)

[TuteZaek]

Matias Rossi news:
He will race in TC2000 for TGR
He will, also, race in TR for the Lincoln Motorsport team, with a Ford
And, he will race in TC, but is looking for team, main problem is that there is no Toyota available (as of now, there is still not an official ask for a brand change)

[Adamcas87]

De Benedictis' new Mustang looks great wow

[TuteZaek]

TC 2000: Tango Motorsport and Santa Fe's authorities announced a meeting with the intention of bringing back the TC2000 Santa Fe street race, that was held for last time in 2018, no mentions of the night race tho, but there is hope.

[TuteZaek]

It's presentation season!!
Ferrante's (Camry) and Quijada's (Camaro) Cars:

[TuteZaek]

Also on TC: Rossi with a Camry, on the Coiro-Dole Racing, but not on TGR (which is really weird considering that both Rossi and CDR are on Toyota Payroll)

[FIRE]

Cars look great.

The looks of the Camry have improved compared to last year.
