What is "touring car racing"?
Touring car racing is a type of motorsport where specially modified road cars race on closed tracks. The cars used are typically production-based models, but they are heavily modified for performance, safety, and handling. These modifications include stronger engines, improved suspension, and reinforced bodies. Races are usually held on circuit tracks and feature multiple drivers competing over a set distance or number of laps. Touring car racing is known for its close, competitive nature, with cars often racing in tight packs, making it exciting for fans. It has a rich history, especially in Europe, and includes series like the World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) and British Touring Car Championship (BTCC).
