Chat from around the place suggests that Nathan Morcom and Jordan Cox will pilot the two incoming Hyundais, out of the HMO equipe, with assistance from HMCA's N division.

Another party is still said to be searching for funds to field a third Hyundai, as previously mentioned.

5 months out from an anticipated March launch, and still a lack of certainty.
I'm certainly no category promoter, but I still think the most effective way to ensure TCR gets off the ground is to open the series up for the first year or two to production cars and even possibly some late-model U2L Improved Production cars (normally aspirated).

It takes a brave person to buy a TCR car at the moment for a TCR-only series when the Championship is dependant on ten or so other people to do the same. Letting other slower cars in to fill the grid takes the pressure off getting enough cars for the first year.
