Its pretty much a feeder series for the Auzzie v8's. More of the same, just not as good. Unless your a Newzealander ofcourse.

mwhahahahah ha ha ha harrrr.

Be good if there could be a race ,say the 3 top drivers from every championship (BTCC,WTCC,STCC, DTM etc) at some random circuit. obviously not in there champ. winning car but something that would be entertaining.
Or is this already happening and I dont know about it?

That was the Super-Touren-Wagen Cup (STW Cup), which used the same SuperTouring regs as the BTCC in the 90's. Procar uses S2000 regs plus 2 further divisions for lower-spec cars.

Not quite what you were asking but there is an FIA European Touring Car Cup. It's run as a single event and open to any driver from any recognised national touring car series running S2000 cars. This year it's being run in Portugal at the end of October - see www.fiaetcc.com
