The
recently introduced Asian Touring Car-MAX (ATC-MAX) is the most exciting
championship to take place in the Asian racing scene in recent times. The fast
paced, bumper to bumper races feature some of the best up ‘n’ coming stars in
the touring car scene from around the region.
ATC-MAX is
a competition for Normally Aspirated cars below 1599cc, such as the Honda Jazz,
Peugeot 207, Toyota Vios, Proton Neo and Saga, Suzuki
Swift and many others that are seen on the roads today. All cars must have a
maximum output of 130bhp at the wheels and have an identical base weight.
The races
are action packed and have attracted a new group of young drivers looking for a
future in Touring car racing. ATC-MAX offers a platform for drivers who have
been competing in National One make races or local Touring Car Championships
and even the drag and drift competitions seen locally. These are the drivers
that are out to make a name for themselves and the ATC-MAX is their chance to
be seen by hoards of adoring and passionate motorsport fans.
The ATC-MAX
also focuses on aftermarket tuners. All cars are encouraged to modify the
outlook with bodykits, 17” wheels and wings as well
as suspension and engine tuning.
The idea
is for the race cars to be the ultimate version of the cars that are tuned for
the Street.
