2024 Argentine Touring Cars
Ok, 2024 is coming, and the changes will be massive, especially for the 2 most important series in the country.
First of all, the TC is presenting the new generation of cars, leaving (progressivelly till the 2025/26 season) the old Falcons, Chevys, Gtxs and Torinos and instead fielding new Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers, Camrys (Already racing, was the one that started this all) and an all new Torino made exclusivelly for the series.
On the TC2000, the SUV had its first presentation in the form of the VW Nivus, built by Halcon Motorsport and with anouncements of various other models, with the official confirmation of the new Honda Z-RV by the brand.
On the TN, what was aparently a chill end of the 2023 season and a simple start of the 2024 one turned on its head, with the aparent change of fiscalization going from the ACA CDA to ACTC CAF, in what is another link in a never ending string of events that are undermining the CDA (and by extention, FIA's argentine branch, the ACA) position in front of the motorsport activities in the country.
As per the rumors, the change, should it happen, will obey to the overall unhappynes from a lot of the TN drivers with how the CDA is adressing the issues that are presented, with the last drop being the suspension of Santiago Mallo for the rest of the season on any CDA sanctioned event (TN, TR, TC2000, Turismo Pista, among others), on grounds of him "disrespecting" the CDA's authorities, after a confusing event on the San Nicolas TN race.
The TR exists, thats is.
