Shaun Hollamby post comment on facebook
''Looks from the video that Huff made contact first with Gene which unsettled his car which then slid back into Huff? Normal Macau shenanigans, awesome race track! Would be a good reason for us to do TCR next year?! ''
For real or?

Davit Kajaia next year in Golf. Great decision. He was faster than experienced driver (Borkovic, Homola, Fulin) with slower car (Driving BMW 320TC vs other driving Leon Cup Racer).

Also Target Competition is switching cars. Maybe they run Opel's and Pepe Oriola is likely to leave Craft-Bamboo.

Tavano and Cerruti tested the Romeo Ferraris' Giulietta.

But i dont understand why Target Competition that has already the tcr champion Comini should look for oriola?

anyway imho next year Seat, Honda and maybe Opel (if they find a good team with top driver) will be the serious contender for the title.

Alfa, ford, subaru wont be competitive at all.

Why just have the champion, when you can have the runner-up as well? And they're hardly going to turn down the money he brings, are they?

Nothing wrong with having another good driver.
And Comini is struggling for budget.

They must wait for the official formula 1 calender, because they Support some races again.

With the order and delivery for TCR cars, isn't the Ford a possibility for customers to buy that car? Especially for the USA TCR series, that car will be the one teams will buy. Opel, Alfa and Seat don't seem to be cars to buy there, as you won't see any of those makes on the road.
I expect the 2016 TCR International Series to be the series to watch. 30 cars or more and great drivers, I'm looking forward to the first race already!

Would you buy the Ford? Nice looking car but I would go safe and buy the Opel, VW or Honda (in that order; nothing wrong with SEAT, but already too many on the grid ). The Ford, Subaru and Alfa first have to prove itself.

[Mark0994]

Dušan Borković is still 50/50 with going to WTCC or TCR next year.
But he say if he go to TCR he has offer from B3 Racing Team boss to choose any car he want and will get paid tests and fixes for car.

Agree. All this car needs is little manufacturer support.

If he stay with B3 imho the logic choice to keep the Seat.

Is there any (major) tech difference between a cup Seat and a TCR spec Seat?

If he goes to the WTCC imho the only "choice" for him is the Cruze. But with that he could fight only for points for high cost.
