New layout for Adria:
https://motorsport.motorionline.com/...onboard-video/ Looks super tight, even tighter than it was previously, as they basically used the same piece of land. |

I don't remember where, but I've read somewhere that in 2021 all cars will be fitted with the standard ECU (finally)
So hopefully less criticism over the BOP |

So, it looks like we might have first Polish entry.
BM Racing Team (which run Hyundai i30 N TCR in TCR Eastern Europe and FIA CEZ +Polish Racing Championship) is working on a budget to run (I guess) full season with "teenage driver". |

So we have 12 cars confirmed, 4 each from Audi, Lynk & Co, & Honda.
Comtoyou - Audi RS3 LMS TCR - Frederic Vervisch Comtoyou - Audi RS3 LMS TCR - Nathanael Berthon Comtoyou - Audi RS3 LMS TCR - TBC Comtoyou - Audi RS3 LMS TCR - TBC Cyan Racing - Lynk & Co 03 TCR - Thed Bjork Cyan Racing - Lynk & Co 03 TCR - Yann Ehrlacher Cyan Racing - Lynk & Co 03 TCR - Yvan Muller Cyan Racing - Lynk & Co 03 TCR - Santiago Urrutia Munnich Motorsport - Honda Civic Type R TCR - Nestor Girolami Munnich Motorsport - Honda Civic Type R TCR - Esteban Guerrieri Munnich Motorsport - Honda Civic Type R TCR - Attila Tassi Munnich Motorsport - Honda Civic Type R TCR - Tiago Monteiro Hyundai is still a question mark after their sulking, but I do think they will come back with the same strength effort to show off the new Elantra after doing some complaining. We also have a good 5-6 or more cars publicly confirmed to be 'working on it'. Safe to say itll be a solid grid again The real question is can the series excite on these tracks? The year on year question... Nurburging is naturally a spectacle, followed by snoozefest Vila Real. Aragon had some really fantastic close and hard racing at the end of 2020 so that should be another fun round. Adria per the comments above is going to be interesting to see how the new layout goes. Hungaroring is always reasonable, never outstanding. Inje is going to be another unknown. China, well if that ends up being Shanghai itll be super dull. I hope for one of the smaller pokier tracks in the country. Macau. is. a. procession. |

From their social media I get the impression Hyundai will return. We will see.
I hope Coronel will race again for Comtoyou Audi. |

I am pretty sure the Frenchman will call @Bcarr6 to make 2022 calendar, even if he is right to say that most of WTCR races are boring. Anyway touring car races are boring today as drivers can't bump and grind. If they just touch, it usually creates "bad crash" in the eyes of the stewards. In WTCR the stewards must be paid according to the number of penalties.

Do you think Gilles Magnus can continue his WTCR career?

So it seems no Giulietta in this season as I expected.
Romeo Ferraris will concentrate on the PURE ETCR programme with the Giulia. Plus, the Giulietta is out of production and if I understand they didn't want to spend budget to develop the Giulietta with the new common ECU. So the Giulietta TCR will race in the national and maybe European TCR championship only Given the fact this was a completely indipendent project, I give huge credit to the team for developing the car and to turn it in a winning TCR car, which I suspect wasn't easy at all against quite real manufacturer team |

He said in announcement video, that "this car is so new, [he has] to drive in camouflage livery for the first two races". When Comtoyou showed their generic livery it also had some sort of camo on the front.

Good news by Hyundai which confirmed 4 new Elantra splitted in two teams (BRC and Engstler)
Drivers are former Champions Michelisz and Tarquini for BRC, Engstler and Vernay for Team Engstler Vernay for sure will be a Championship contender |
