TCM car builds
TCM car builds
by IFCA GTDon Mon Feb 17, 2020 8:28 am
The IFCA is happy to introduce its competitors to the world of "Touring Car Masters" from Australia! As you'll read below these are muscle cars with brains which is to say they are built to be the best they can be with modern running gear and engines.
For a long time, many have begged for a fully tuneable historic Trans-Am car. The closest you could get to a full-on muscle car in league racing was a formula car in TORA. A car that had set limits for hp/lbs/P.I.. Unfortunately, the formula doesn't always work for every make of car no matter how you build it. In fact, the formula usually makes it so that only a few cars are truly competitive from a large group of cars. This sort of one size fits all non-testing method simply doesn't meet the high standards here at the IFCA. All of our cars are physically tested, raced, and tested over and over again so that you the competitor can have total confidence that whatever car you pick from one of our 5 divisions of Trans-Am racing, is going to have equal performance over the course of a 7 race season.
With this latest iteration or variant of Trans-Am racing, the TCM cars will be fully built with downforce and close to 600hp just as their real TCM counterparts are. Nowhere else in league racing will you find muscle cars as good as these are while still being equal in performance to each other.
Since its inception in 2007, the Gulf Western Oil Touring Car Masters – just ‘TCM’ to fans and competitors - has rapidly grown to become one of Australia's premier racing categories.
Evolving from Historic Trans-Am racing and Group N racing through to Biante Historic Touring Cars, the series emerged as the Touring Car Masters for its inaugural season in 2007.
Setting itself apart from traditional Historic racing, the Touring Car Masters pioneered a new class of racing by introducing innovative technical regulations aiming to improve safety, reliability, cut running costs and provide an exciting and entertaining race package while maintaining the visual appeal of its period race cars.
The Touring Car Masters immediately struck a winning formula, with its mix of classic hero cars and modern improvements, such as disc brakes, dry-sumped engines and radial tires, producing intense, dynamic racing right from the outset.
Since then, the popular retro series has continued to go from strength-to-strength, lifting the class to become a successful, highly-competitive, affordable and commercially-viable category.
Though many think of it as a historic category, TCM is just as much of a 'tribute' to the classic Trans-Am era while allowing it to be viable in today's commercial and competitive environment.
Showcasing a selection of immaculately prepared touring cars of the pre-1981 era, the Touring Car Masters boasts some of the sport's most iconic muscle cars from Falcon GT's, BOSS Mustangs, Chevrolet Camaros, Chrysler Chargers and Holden Monaros to the giant-killing Holden Toranas and nimble Porsche 911 RS's. Pontiacs, Mercuries, Ford Capris and more make a variety-packed field.
Evoking the glory days of Australian Touring Car racing, the Touring Car Masters has incredibly vast appeal with a fan base that bridges all walks of life and spans generations, inspiring the passion of motoring enthusiasts, race fans and drivers.
The series continues to develop, and in 2019 introduced a cost-effective, optional 'category' LS engine producing approximately 600hp that will see engine costs reduced by up to two thirds. With initiatives such as the TCM engine, TCM remains the most affordable Premier Racing Category in Australia and opens its ranks to a whole new host of competitors.
