What is Touring Car Racing?

Touring car racing is contested in heavily modified saloon or hatchback cars derived from road-going models. Championships include the FIA World Touring Car Cup (WTCR), Germany's DTM (now GT3), the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) and Australia's Supercars series. Racing is famously close, physical and unpredictable.
