US ronnd doeasn't have too much sense. No US team, no US drivers, these TCR models doesn't really rated on the US market.

Marakesh is OK, it'snot far from Europe.
Zuhai will have more sense instead of Ningbo.
But all in all I think a private based TCR series with european teams and mainly european drivers should concentrate to europe, just like the ETCC did or the DTM do. Maybe a very limited weekends outside of Europe, to become a World Cup or World Championship (Marakesh and Macau ot maybe an argetinian round))

I think you are right.

Man, I HATE street circuits.
Well, this mess of a calendar was to be expected. I hope TCR Europe gets a cool grid, then there is enough Quality-TCR to watch next year on worthy tracks.

Mee too. Imho only australians can make proper street circuits.

How much this intercontinental transportation could cost for the whole grid?
Tracks pays a huge license fee for held weekends, that is not enough for that?
