Most of the cost comes out of competitor entry fees. Mini Se7ens weren't shown on the stream because they decided it wasn't worth the extra expense. Any YouTube ad revenue will be minimal.

My only complaint was cutting to the pits during one TCR race. It didn't quite work.
Apart from that they do a decent job don't they? We've seen some total disasters over the years, like the TCR race at Combe where one of the cameras failed! Can't remember what company that was. |

Looking at those set in stone I reckon 11 at least.
Full timers. Boardley, Newsham, Lewis, Hutchison, Marshall and Shepherd for certain in Gen Two. Alden, Kerry, Beech and Smith in Gen One Guest: Lines Don't know about part-time entries like Sargant. I have a feeling that Powell didn't have a problem last time post surgery (he was at a car show doing simulator stuff on the last race day) so wouldn't count on any Sport 77 stuff. Will the Lynk & Co eventually get out? Didn't see any official announcement about Laidlaw, was Snett a one off? Is he doing some/all rounds? I do worry that the championship might fall by the wayside, and I also wonder how much is being paid to WSC for the title? It's odd how there are so many TCR cars, yet they can't get a championship to work in most countries. |

I read in a recent copy of Autosport that Bensley won't be out until Silverstone in August in his Lynk & Co & Simon Green Motorsport posted on their socials about being at Oulton after missing Snetterton.
Hopefully numbers will go up. As for WSC, they are the rights holder to TCR. On their website, the current count is 36 approved series around the world: https://wsc.group/ On the TCR UK website, one of their articles from 2021 states that Maximum Motorsport hold a six-year licencing agreement to run TCR UK - https://www.tcr-uk.co.uk/tcr-uk-beco...-championship/ Not every TCR championship is suffering though. Italy, Spain, South America and China all have grids above 20, which seems to be the average number for a TCR series currently. In the UK, apart from British GT, grid numbers are down in general this year, either in the BTCC or at other levels of British Motorsport. As a racing fan and a TCR fan, I'm glad I've got something to watch each weekend. |
