Factory TC3... should I buy it?

[Genem]

I gave my stock TC3 to my younger brother, so now I have the option of getting a new car.

The Factory TC3 is getting old, and looking at race results, it seems to not be doing as well anymore. I see the trend of TC3 being out raced by Shumachers and TRF415. I'm just not so keen on driving a TC3 anymore.

I think the short answer to your question has to be "No".

If you are not thinking that the TC3 is a competitive car, then it won't be if you buy one. As has been said plenty of times before, all the cars from the top manufacturers will be competitive in the right hands, so at the end of the day, it has to come down to a car you choose for whatever personal reasons you want, e.g. It looks good; has good features; spares availability; setup's from others at the club; I think it will be fast; and whatever else you might think up :)

If you race at a club, why not ask other drivers if you can try a few laps with their car and see how it feels before you decide?
