maybe they should save money and build non boring cars. They make crap recently. Corolla is fat and slow, where is sports model? They need to make starlet gt, levin gt-z, ae111 bz-r type again as europe making hot hatches again and they been left behind.

Just my idea, maybe wrong, maybe right yes?

^ All those cars you mentioned aren't any/much quicker than "new" stuff like Runx Z, Blade Master, Vitz RS etc?

not always about speed. Vitz rs? Is that not a joke right? Vitz designed for old lady to drive to pick up milk. None of those cars are good, they are boring.

Corolla wrc, celica wrc. Those were toyota race cars which have become legendary, apart from toyota cheeting that is.

Dont race toyota, make a good hot hatch thats not half subaru. Make it a 2 door hatch, 1.8 to 2l engine, fwd and turbocharged. Like the early 1990s, example is mazda 323gtr, nissan gtir, lancia delta, cosworth escort. Remember good old days... Dont try and make toyota people buy boring cars.

One has to die, im just not sure which one yet :wink:


No I believe that both could run as there would be enough support,
but they probably wont.

TOYOTA COROLLA WRC!

WRC is much more fun to watch and the cars are cooler.


WRC is almost dead too, The FIA had to step in and prop it up money wise for the first round this season,
and the company the was televising it went broke too.

emmission like excuse. I dont belive. Rs500 focus very quick and meets emmissions. French car makerstart with r makes very quick hatch. V8 good design but maybe in todays world where people control oil, not relevant anymore? Yes?

Maybe race like btcc or wtcc or etcc, 2l saloon cars

No, NASCARs are completely different.

The NZV8s are a NZ built control chassis, as in the only things diffenret between the cars are the panels and engine
