Opel Teases Astra TCR Racer Ahead Of Frankfurt

Opel has released the first teaser sketches for what will become its second-generation Astra TCR race car.

The TCR (Touring Car Racing) series was established in 2015 with the aim of keeping costs down for race teams.

The series mandates a 2.0 litre turbocharged production based engine, and front wheel drive with outputs limited to 246kW and 410Nm.

The current Astra three-door (sold here as a Holden Astra) currently competes in the series alongside Seat, Audi, Honda and Volkswagen.
