Similar to NGTC for the BTCC, the powertrain and front/rear suspension is common for all new STCC cars while chassis, etc. is based on the standard car.

STARD provides batteries, EPWR does the rest with its contractors.

All cars RWD, 550hp & 600Nm, 45 kWh battery, around 1450kg, 15-20 min at full pace pending circuit, cost approx. 220k €.
Thanks

Yeah, the cars sound awful but this soon will be a new normal. Fortunately, it's not only about the sound (even if it is big part of that) so one might get used to that, while it may be hoped the racing will be quite interesting. BTCC cars sound awful too, after all... okay, still better but far from exciting.

And good they've given the teams quite a lot of time before the season's start, it gives hopes more entrants will be able to commit to the championship.

That is, quite truly, an appalling thought.... I'd rather they were completely silent.

Im with you..... I would have my finger on the mute button within 10 seconds.

As for the gearbox whine on the Supertourer clip , yes is hard to put up with, and might also get my mute button, but those sounds were the exception rather than the rule, and there are proper engine noise as well.

Im rather pleased that we still have V8 racing to listen to here down under, for the foreseeable future anyway. It will be many years until we in Aus have the infrastructure to support electric vehicles with non fossil fuel derived energy.

TCR cars sound far better than BTCC cars in my opinion. I am not sure what systems the btcc cars run that make them sound the way they do, but the TCR cars sound more like a suped up road car.

To an extent, yes. But it's enough of a turn-off for me to actually prevent me from watching, certainly from actually going to an event. I'm not as young as I used to be and I accept that having been steeped in glorious engine noises for all of my life, I'm just not able to remove the sound aspect.... I fear there are plenty like me though....

They won't be all that loud from the outside, don't worry about it!

If the organisers can really deliver this car for that price, that is very impressive indeed.

One of the reasons this electric STCC has my interest.

Only remark: With PWR having developed the electric kit and done lot of testing, is it fair they running cars themself in the series?

Other thing, more a surprise, the absence of CYAN and Polestar. I mean Swedish brand not running in the Swedish championship.

Cyan Racing has been absent from STCC for six years, though.

The whole season is being held over the space of 6 weeks? Why? And only 9 named drivers is a bit concerning.

This is because the recent delay: https://www.touringcartimes.com/2023...ises-schedule/

The first season will feature 12 all-new cars, and that close to 70% of the drivers are announced two months before the season start isn't that unusual for a national championship - especially when switching regs?

Turns out it was concerning. Could they really not have just used the old TCR cars for another year?
