The TC 2000 Championship (Turismo Competición 2000) is a touring car racing series held in Argentina since 1979.

Rules

Prior to 2012, engines of up to 2000 cc 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 and traction control are all forbidden.

From the 2012 season, Radical Performance Engines will provide 2.7 litre RPE TCX V8 engines (a front-wheel-drive variant of the RPX, originally found in the Radical SR8), capable of producing 430 hp, in place of the previous 2 litre engines. The series was renamed to Super TC2000.[1] Meanwhile, cars with the old regulation continue competing as a second-tier championship with the name TC 2000, currently with an independent calendar.

The V8 engines were finally replaced from the year 2019 by new provider, the French manufacturer Oreca, these being 2.0 turbocharged 4-cylinder in-line.
