GM10 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Hope for one-off entries during the season, but the grid is good. Let's see how the STARD-Kia develops.

Where is Files?

No idea. There was some rumors about him and WTCC.
If that is true that leaves him with seat only at Vesta.

Yeah, so bad ... because all the other motorsport series are doing so good and are so entertaining to watch. High and rising costs is the problem with motorsports. So many who wants race but can't either because it is too expensive or because there isn't enough seats. And talents who can't go on just because of these reasons.

At least TCR is something else, something good. Cheap compared to other alternatives and very genuine, money only gets you a car and rounds. In other motorsports it would have to be spent on development and trying to match manufactures and others with good backing. Here you compete on equal terms and it pretty much is fair play.

Unfortunately FIA is in charge of most of the motorsports I enjoy. A government so corrupt it fined Hyundai €50.000 in WRC for having a side window that was a few grams too light. Or scrapped WTCC-2 because of low entries, yet blamed it on wanting too focus on a championship that is barely alive, trying to make it look like it was an extraordinary series of some kind. Or F1 with the probably most corrupt guy ever in charge of one of the biggest sports in the world, making money out of hard working organisers.

But yeah, go ahead and laugh at this series with an extremely good non-FIA concept where things are actually reasonable and racing is real. I hope you enjoy your FIA series where costs are going through the roof and championships dies out along with sportsmanship, morals and ethics.

Pensando en un trabajo profesional para obtener un auto competitivo para la segunda cita del “Mondiale” de la TCR International Series en Estoril, entre el 21 al 24 de abril en el trazado clásico portugués. Confirmando la presencia con el piloto de Bari, “Gigi” Ferrara, que también será de la partida en el TCR italiano en la primera fecha de certamen en Adria, el 5 de mayo.
If some Spanish member could translate this it would be great, since Google Translate is, let's say, bad

Look like Subaru will run this season in TCR Italy but I don't understand about second race in Estoril. That was last year.

Very very happy for this. And it seems much more interesting than the 2015 edition of the race, because this year there are also ELMS and Michelin Le Mans Cup in the same weekend.

Being Italian and not Spanish, I can make you a translation not perfect, but being our two languages pretty close, we can more or less understand each other

Thinking at a professional collaboration in order to obtain a competitive car for the second race of the "World Championship" of the TCR International Series in Estoril, from April the 21st to the 24th in the classic portuguese track. Presence confirmed for the driver from Bari “Gigi” Ferrara, who will be racing in the Italian TCR in the fist race of the season in Adria, May the 5th.
