The way the old-spec Peugeots went in the two South American TCRWT rounds, there’d potentially be a market for them there |

My belief is if the category gets less high maintenance ownership and no longer tries to be the big cheese then maybe entry fees are reduced and media could be better, but that doesn't change the facts that the anti competitive supply arrangements make cars that should be cheaper to run than Super2 more expensive.

The current string of articles and the strenuous denials from ARG seem to indicate a revolt might be brewing.
Would Mr Lotti be OK with TCR running with AASA? Made more complicated by the issues around TCR logbooks and so on but restraint of trade is an interesting area of law. |

MA holds the local TCR rights which were tendered out to ARG to run the series, I wonder how long that contract is for?

Contracts for running the series seem irrelevant when nobody wants to show up with the fust collecting cars in their back sheds, unused..

The interesting thing about the 2024 TCR/SpeedSeries season is that, using QR as an example, the only stories & reporting to come out of that round (beyond race results & disqualifications) in the general motorsport media was all about the low TCR grid numbers and the Olyphant incident.
Nothing noteworthy about the GT’s or Trans-Am despite those being made out as the standouts of the program this year. |

FIA TCR World Series will be racing at the Bend next year.
Their main support category will be Supercars for their inaugural running of the Bend 500. |

I see what you did there...... Story here - putting the best international foot forward might be the way for TCR to effectively start over here. |

Great announcement. Sad fact that if they did try a 500km race, you might not have a podium.
