Few cars/teams/drivers plans already announced or floating around. Looks like Area will be running a fleet of 6 Hyundai's. I expect to see a few brand new cars hitting the grid next year.

Two more (new-gen) Leons on the way from STCC

The tweet mentions JAS Motorsport has new things and the 2022 title winning car has been put up for sale

There is a new Honda Civic Type R (FL5) introduced a few months ago

Could we see a new Civic TCR for next year?

antnee · 3 Nov 2022, 07:15 (Ref:4132499)

I have had a look around and can't find anything about the FL5 being developed into a TCR car, other than Monterio mentioning a 'new car for 2023'

antnee · 16 Nov 2022, 15:36 (Ref:4133953)

Bert/Restart Racing might be running 2 cars next year going off a recent IG post

Evantra · 25 Nov 2022, 15:51 (Ref:4134898)

Max Hart moving to GT Cup next year in GT4 / Carrera Cup "with a teammate of mine this year", or possibly a move to TCR Europe if he makes Hyundai's junior driver program.

I would guess it would be AWE - didn't Wilmot just buy a Civic?

He did - but he then sold it on again

samchevron · 20 Dec 2022, 16:13 (Ref:4137687)

Scott Sumpton is confirmed in a Restart Racing Honda for next year. Looks like the one Andy Wilmot bought originally.

In news that will surprise no-one, Chris Smiley returns with Restart Racing

S griffin · 24 Dec 2022, 09:18 (Ref:4138053)

Nice to see Smiley coming back for more, he deserves a drive somewhere

The Paul Sheard Racing team has confirmed that it will make a full-time move into the TCR UK Championship for the 2023 season.

The team competed in the events at Donington Park and Snetterton this year with a Volkswagen Golf GTi, but will expand to run a pair of ex-Comtoyou Racing Audi RS 3 LMS cars – marking the first time that the latest Gen 2 version of the car will have raced in the UK.

Former Ginetta GT4 Supercup drivers Joe Marshall and Garry Townsend will share driving duties.

Great to see

It appears that Restart/Bert have sold their championship winning FK7 - not sure if they are replacing with a newer FK7 or are getting their hands on the new FL5

I suspect maybe both. FL5 deliveries are not due to start until April so doubtful they will get 2 cars in time for the first round. I wouldn't be surprised if they started with the FK7 then switched to the FL5 later in the year.

Jaxon will drive a Cupra of JW Bird.
