The ability to compete in both touring car racing and rally with just one car? As far-fetched as it might sound, that’s exactly the idea behind FIA’s newly created “TC Lite” classes.

Common rule sets that allow cross-pollination between groups are a good thing. Hopefully this is successful enough to help promote more widespread use of this concept.

For example four people share a car one does circuit racing in France, one rally in France, one circuit racing in Germany, and one rally in Germany. I know this won't work in North America but it happens outside of North America.

I mean, I can hope at least.
