Is the E30 M3 the most iconic touring car ever?
>>28976526Are you sure?
>>28976529yeah
>>28976526no
Absolutely not and neither is the nissan skyline
>>28976539I'd agree with Godzilla. BMW got a few wins, like the Sierra, but their luck ran out when the R32 released.
>>28976547lol
nah that would be the 190
>>28976526>mcdonalds on all 4nah i dont think so
>>28976526
>>28976562>"You're a pack of arseholes!"
>>28976526Fot me it was the old 4.0L DTM cars. Particularly the CLK.
How did such an irrelevant series such as the DTM manage to boost the value of so many cars?
>>28976562>BMW got a few wins1436 to be exact.>but their luck ran out when the R32 released.The E30 dominated JTC-2 but ok
>>28976613idiot
>>28976644obvious answerdub dubs of truth
>>28976529This.An unparalleled car of magnificent engineering.I'm LTB picrel.
>>28976562this car primarily won in japan and australia due to a cheating team. It was nowhere near the most successful touring car or group A car.
Every time this fucking place is malding like crazy against the GOAT car brand - BMW
>>28976876>muh cheating lmao the R32 had additional weight penalties imposed upon it for no reason at all and it still mogged everything on track.
12000 revs
>>28976876It never cheated in Japan it just massively outclassed everything else that was fielded.The Gibson team in Australia was cheating though.And in ATCC without the cheating team it was continuously mogged by the FD RX7 which was down on power compared to the GTR.
>>28977563the viper had over 1000 lbs of weight penalties and it didn't even have to cheat like the GTR to win.
>>28976703>How A handful of men in the past realised that open wheel racing is for fags
>>28977569Gibson weren't cheating either. The Australian interpretation of Group A rules was just way more relaxed than anywhere else so their cars were the fastest. Everyone in Australia was doing it, not just Gibson.
>>28977569If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying.
>>28976703And somehow the car that bested both BMW and Mercedes twice in a row is not nearly as famous or valuable as either of those.
>>28977678
>>28977680
>>28977673probably because the road cars disintegrated and you can no longer even find audis from that era.
>>28977638I mean the team owner actually admitted to cheating to bypass power restrictions in an interview around 15-20 years ago.But personally I wouldn't classify it as cheating if they weren't caught in the act, seeing as half of racing is just trying to get around regulations without getting called out on it.
>>28976529>>28977680>>28977687as an owner of Alfa 155 I love the V6TI even if it has nothing in common with my alfa>>28976857im so used to my 155 having a small spoiler that one without one looks naked to me
>>28976566what's so funny?
>>28976579yeah based yeah
>>28976526>>28979639One of these. The Sierra just wasn't as prolific; I'm not even sure if there was a factory effort from Ford Europe or if it was all Cosworth doing the effort.>>28976539>>28976562Only raced in australia and japan.
>>28976526Imagine actually 'touring' in a clapped out go cart like that? That'd be a really uncomfortable tour
>>28977784>galvanized steel>still rust like crazy>electronic gremlins out the assWell done, Ferdinand
>>28979648Raced at Spa and won the 1993 Spanish Touring Car Championship, sweaty
