As I know in the WTCC this was a cost of 1 car, so it's about the half.
So a season for a private driver with a TC1 car cost something between 500 000 to 1 million euros depend of the car. Obviously the Chevy was the cheaper choice, a Citroen was the more costy choice. Honda was somwhere between them depend of the config.
The car itself a lot more cheaper in the TCR, because of the cost limit, which is as I remember 128000 euro/car.
But this is not include the spare parts, tyres, the cost of logistics and the cost of the crew and maybe the payment of the driver + the repairs after accidents or might be a new car if the old one will be unrepairable (M1RA has to throw 2 cars in this season - Tassi's car after Salzburgring and Colciago's car after Oschersleben)
But the WTCC was an FIA world championship, which provide a much greater/higher rank then the a world cup.
