For 2017 there are 3 manufactures ( Honda, Lada, Volvo) in WTCC. The trend is that independent team are looking to TCN2/TCR. FIA must do something, for 2017 they talk about cost reductions.

But the independent/privateers team are looking for a better way to race to a lower cost than FIA are talking about. The choice is TCN2/TCR as a second class in the WTCC.

Look whats happning in TCR Macau 2016 race a lot of new cars from CTCC (China Touring Car Championship). Totally 35 cars on the grid. Small modifications in the rules makes a new future.
