What We Like:
Well, it’s been a LONG time since AE has been in the onroad scene. When I heard about the TC8 coming out, I was really hoping it was going to be a next-level TC … and I think they just may have outdone themselves. I love that they scrapped the ‘feel’ of any previous cars and well full boogie on a new design. I have a feeling this is going to be a very good release from them. Oh, and I’m happy it doesn’t have the ‘RC10’ moniker.

What We’re Not Sure About:
It’s launching into a VERY saturated market with people fully invested into their current Touring Cars. Hopefully it can steal away some market share.
