The new season of the Euro Touring Series will see the racers travel to the Netherlands at the beginning of June. The AMCA Apeldoorn will host the first encounter of the season and most of the drivers are already practicing outdoors to be well prepared for the challenge. Cutting, painting and testing body shells is one thing everybody is doing for sure to be ready to race in Apeldoorn!
Last year, the ETS implemented the official ETS Body Shell list into the rules for the first time. During the season we got positive feedback only, and because of that we will continue in the same way – or better saying “almost in the same way”. Today we like to inform you about almost all body shells which the different companies have listed for Season #15 2022/23.
These body shells will be visible in the official ETS rules for Season #15 2022/23 which are going to post in the next days in our RULES section – so check them out once they are published!
Rules update for Pro Stock and Modified
Most of the manufacturers told us that they are about to develop a new body shell at the moment. We wanted to give these companies the chance to list their newest body shell as well, even when it will not be ready for the market until our body shell listing deadline, which was on April 20th, 2022.
We decided the following for all ETS supporting body shell manufacturers:
1.) Every company can still list THREE body shells for Pro Stock and Modified directly (as in the last season).
2.) As an alternate option we offered them to list up to TWO body shells now, and another third body shell later.
3.) This THIRD body shell must be listed, and being available to the market (in shops) at least 4 weeks before the third race of the season (Arena33, Andernach,GER).
This rule is transparent and fair for everybody, and we are looking forward to the body shells coming out from the companies in the next months.
But once again: There will be maximum ONE new body shell per manufacturer ahead of ETS RD3. Companies can list their new body as soon as it is available, this means that it is also possible to have it ready for ETS RD2 in Aigen, AUT. But the same rule here – the body must be ready 4 weeks before this race as well.
The additional body must be the same for Pro Stock and Modified – it is not allowed to list different new bodies for each of the classes!
In the Pro Stock and Modified class, drivers can choose the bodies of their choice from the official list, and all listed body shells can get used in ANY weight option which is available from the manufacturers. From Ultra-Light to Regular, in Pro Stock and Modified you can run whatever you like!
Most body shells already listed for ETS Season #15 2022/23
As we received almost all information about the body shells from our ETS Body Shell Supporting companies, we like to let you know about these bodies now. The missing body shells will get completed as soon as possible and then you can find them in the ETS rules once they are ready and uploaded in our RULES section!

Thanks to all body shell supporting companies – let`s go racing!
The whole ETS crew would like to point out a massive THANK YOU to all body shell supporting companies for their cooperation. With our body shell rules we like to make the ETS racing transparent and not too complicated as it was at some point in the past. We see you trackside and we are excited which body shells you will rock around the tracks!
Uwe, Scotty, and the whole ETS crew!
