TCR - General topic

redshoes · 2 Jun 2017, 08:21 (Ref:3738075)

We already have a 2018 BTCC thread so why not a TCR one as well.

http://www.dailysportscar.com/2017/0...2018-ctsc.html
IMSA are introducing a TCR class within the Conti tires series, with a standalone TCE USA and TCR Canada series at some point in the future.

Wasn't there a TCR USA announced a few years ago, shortly after the TCR concept was originally launched? Although as I recall that ended up being TCR cars were eligible as a sub-class within USTCC, rather than a separate series. Did that ever get any entries?

GM10 · 2 Jun 2017, 09:12 (Ref:3738091)

No entries, as I remember.

In the USA there are already 2-3 cars in the PWC, in the TC class.

MissClarrpz · 2 Jun 2017, 09:33 (Ref:3738096)

TCR was meant to come to the US touring car championship in either 2014 or 2015, it didn't. Now PWC say they will have a TCR class as well as IMSA in 2018. I've only heard about 4 TCR cars racing in the US to date so I don't think both or either will have good grid sizes.

Also France are rumoured to get a TCR championship.

Looks like France will get a TCR series in 2018.

And maybe the UK if BTCC can't kick them out

Also someone said something about TCR Mini, and LAP Motorsports are developing TCR spec 5-door car

They only started work two weeks ago. They will add the cage when they start testing the car.

I'd be so down for a TCR MINI.

Mazda Europe and Toyota Motorsport are based in Germany.

A Japanese TCR would be fantastic and a first touring car championship over there since 1998!

If I remember right, a Mazda TCR rumor started several months ago when it was rumored that TCR would be added to the Conti series in the US. At the time it was suggested TCR would replace ST rather than run alongside ST, and Mazda would need a new car to stay involved with the series.

If there will be a Mazda TCR car I assume it will be a project initiated by Mazda USA.

NaBUru38 · 15 Jul 2017, 23:24 (Ref:3751540)

TCR Japan? Would that be a factory-back series (like Super GT) or a customer-focused series (like Super Taikyu)?
