The open fender flares are an interesting design no? The Chevrolet Astra TC2000 race car is based on an earlier version of the Opel/Vauxhal Astra.
It was available in Europe from 1995 to 2002 but it still going strong in South America. You can see the South American version of the Megane is the old first gen version of the car. This " car as appliance" version of the Corolla doesn't even look half bad as a race car…. When was the last time you saw a proper full race Toyota Corolla? Races are broadcast on national television and seem to gather large race day crowds. The TC2000 race calendar features several street races, in addition to most of Argentina's many racing circuits. That makes TC2000 one of the best factory backed series in the world, let alone South America!Ģ009 will mark the 30th anniversary of the championship. TC2000 is well supported by the automotive manufacturers with factory teams from Honda, Ford, Toyota, Chevrolet and Renault. Together with the V8 based Turismo Carreterra series, TC2000 is one of the most popular South American racing championships. Unlike DTM, they're front wheel drive and are limited to 2 Liter engines.
All the cars are silhouette, tube chassis racers, built to a low cost formula. Now, I am somewhat familiar with the Brazilian Stock Car series, as a playground for the country's F1 outcasts, but not the Argentine equivalent… Intrigued, I decided to dig deeper….įrom what I can gather, the TC2000 series is Argentina's answer to DTM. A couple days ago, I was browsing through some South American drift photos on Flickr, when I stumbled across some racing photos from an Argentine Touring Car series called TC2000.
