Nederlands Toerwagen Kampioenschap
In
the Netherlands, touring car racing had always been popular - and the
Dutch had some specialists, like European Champions Swart, Hezemans and
Kox.
From 1973, Touring cars and GT's were combined, just like in
Germany. The fields were thin but provided some good racing and a few
excellent cars.
The switch to Group 1B brought a few exellent years but ended in misery
with Group A. In the mean time, a Group N championship had been
created; in
spite of lots of problems with rules, weights, restrictors and illegal
cars the championship grew and took over from Group A after 1988.
