TheTC2000 (Turismo Competición 2000, formerlySúper TC2000) is atouring car racing series held in Argentina since 1979.
Prior to 2012, engines of up to 2,000 cubic centimetres (120 cu in) were allowed, with only limited modifications from standard engines. This was both to reduce running costs, and give a level playing field to every team.Variable valve timing, variable intake geometry,anti-lock braking systems andtraction control are all forbidden.
From the 2012 season,Radical Performance Engines will provide 2.7 litres (160 cu in) RPE TCXV8 engines (a front-wheel-drive variant of the RPX, originally found in theRadical SR8), capable of producing 430 brake horsepower (320 kW), in place of the previous 2 litres (120 cu in) engines. The series was renamed toSúper TC2000.[1] Meanwhile, cars with the old regulation continue competing as a second-tier championship with the nameTC2000, currently with an independent calendar.
The V8 engines were finally replaced from the year 2019 by new provider, the French manufacturerOreca, these being 2.0 litres (120 cu in)turbocharged4-cylinder in-line.
In 2022, the series changed its name again. The Super TC2000 got its name back from the TC2000 and the TC2000 was renamed the TC2000 Series.[2]
