Folks interested in Supertouring might want to visit their web site which, I am
pretty sure, is www.supertouring.com.

They have changed their name this year.  Not sure if it was solely because NATCC
is pronounced Nazi, but that sure was a factor.

They recently announced that they would be sanctioned by CART in 1997 instead of
SCCA PRO.  All but one of their events will be coincident with CART races.

Just like their British counterparts, Supertouring has formally distanced
themselves from anything FIA.  For racing political reasons, I think.

Last I heard they were up to 20 possible entries.  Paul Page will again be the
announcer for the usually delayed coverage.

For CompuServe subscribers, you can GO RACEB and be somewhat up-to-date there in
the Touring Car section.  Sorry for the mild commercial.
