I would need a FDM printer (to print plastic parts), and I wanted to focus on one technology only at the beggining. First of all, I'm really new to 3D modeling and printing as I started to learn the modeling a year ago and bought my printer in October 2021.My printer is a resin printer and doing resin chassis would not work well. There are several reasons about why I didn't do my own 3D chassis. I cheated a little bit on this one to have the same chassis than the other TCR cars 🤐 The Audi has a 2665mm wheelbase, 2700mm for the Honda, but indeed the Alfa Romeo is shorter with a 2625mm wheelbase. The chassis has a 84mm wheelbase which is a 2688mm (84x32) wheelbase in scale 1. Cars aren't as iconic as 90's BTCCs either, but the interesting thing with TCR class is the fact that you can see the same car in European championships, in Japan, USA, Australia and in the World Championship too.Ībout the chassis, I never expected the 962 chassis to work well with these bodies, but as surprising as it may be. Also I'm not sure that WTCR is as attractive as WTCC or DTM were in the middle for the 2000's.

Touring cars aren't as exciting as GT cars or single seaters.

The TCR category is not the most dreamy one I guess. Thanks a lot for your message LMP, I appreciate it! The paint was inspired by old WTCC (around 2005) Seat Leon and made by my dad: The Cupra Leon Competicion was the very first one I did. Let me introduce you the 4 cars I already printed until today! Also, as I want to see these cars as efficient as possible I take care about the body weight, without neglecting robustness. Wheelbase of this chassis is close to the TCR cars which is the most important thing to chose the right chassis.

That's why I have decided to adapt my bodies to high performance chassis that are easily available on the market! For these TCRs, all bodies are adapted to the Porsche 962 chassis. There is a very important to me: to make sure that these bodies can run as well as possible. I decided to begin my journey with TCR cars, for various reasons: these are cars we can't find in the slot car market (only Scalextric did some BTCCs, but no TCRs), these are modern cars so there are plenty of pictures to help me in the modeling phase and there are many different cars from many constructors (here is a list of the 26 homologated cars: CARS - TCR HUB) Then I decided to learn how to model and print my own cars and I already created different ones. In my dad's place, I saw different 3D printed cars he bought and I was quite amazed by the quality of these bodies. I started to be interested in the 3D medeling and the 3D printing around a year and a half ago.
