only two manufacturers left for 2017, doesn't really look good for the future ...
Now the move to Class One seems more logical. This probably means the end of TC1 in one-two years.

Lada is not leaving because WTCC may adopt Class One. WTCC may adopt Class One because manufacturers are leaving and probably there is a need of a complete overhaul. Still though I'm afraid about quality of racing in this case..

TCR is a great platform for customer racing, but don't expect any manufacturer teams because of BoP - why should you put any resourses into the car if it will be balanced by regulations. I think it won't work in a global championship.

Again, it's not the first time I say it - regional championships (TCR Europe, Asia etc.) and a global event a.k.a. Macau as a final for the best competitors around the world for TCR would be fantastic.
