Exclusion from Monza.

Not sure what else. There was talk of jail time, but I guess Italy, Serbia, and Portugal (from where TCR is governed) worked something out.

He said that his goal is TCR Europe with new car, but he also say that will be very hard to achieve.

He went for a meeting to Belgium... some deal with Comtoyou or so?

Joining the dots, he's still running his existing Cupra again in TCR Europe. He was hoping to find someone to transport it to and from the tracks for him.

Nagy Dani and Luca Engstler confirmed at M1RA for 2019. Interesting to see Luca joining another team and not coming with the family team.
Good to see anyway, both are really talented youngsters.

Homola is joining Target for 2019, so the italians will have a strong 4 Hyundai lineup.

Any idea if Josh Files will be returning?
He had a lot of problems with the car last year it would be shame to loose him.

with Homola there are 23 drivers (some TBC yet) and 8 of them driver for HYUNDAI (4 drivers of Target Competion, 2 M1RA, 2 M Racing).

Maybe there should put some limits to a single model of car like they did this year in wtcr in order to have more differents car.

Actually the situation is
8 Hyundai
5 Peugeot
3 VW
3 Audi
2 Honda
1 Cupra
1 Renault

Any news from Alfa, Opel, Lada?
How can be possible that anyone (team or driver) choose Opel that won ADAC TCR Germany as also Alfa that showed lots progress in wtcr?

I think, or at least I would love to see him alongside Comini in a 2 car Honda team. As Comini is also a driver coach, he posted images on his Facebook with Davidovski and Files too in recent weeks. The team is a good question. Comini's team last year was a little bit complicated: the Honda was run by Piro Sport and Race Republic, under Autodis name, but that was just a sponsor. Or not, and it was just run by just Race Republic under the Autodis name.

So for 2019 I am still waiting for:
At least +2 Honda for Comini and Files, still don't know anything about Moller
+2 or more Cupra: Paulsen said he will return with a Cupra, but wanted to join a bigger team, there is also Kroes, and it is a good question if Zengő will join. I don't know if Miljković wants full season or just Hungaroring?
+1 Hyundai for Stefanovski- he has the car, but he has not announced the series he will race in this year.

The questionable part: DG Sport? Piro Sport? Abreu and his Peugeot team?
For the Peugeot seats we could have Briché, maybe even Abreu joining one of them. I would love to see Comte, but a few days ago he posted on his Facebook page, that there are still no plans for 2019
Will there be a second Vukovic Renault?

Because Romeo Ferraris is a team of 16-20 people. Even if it sounds unbelievable, those guys build all the cars and run the WTCR team too. And they built around 10 cars in recent months, which all were sold. They wanted a 4 car WTCR team, but sold all the remaining cars, to have a bigger budget for the 2 car team.
Sold 2 to Australia, 2 to China, one new car will race in TCR Italy, one went to Sweden, at least one to the USA (which is run by Scuderia Corsa), as there are other 3 racing in the USA. There are two, which raced last year in TCR UK, so basically you cannot buy one, because they sold them, and it takes months to build a new one.

The problem with Opel is, that there is also no factory backing, and Kissling Motorsport who was responsible for the technical support went bankrupt. There is a new team who sells the parts etc. but with zero technical support.

One will run in the STCC.

A Danish fellow did run an Alfa in PWC a few times last year. Not sure if that's one of the two that are running in IMSA.

Two cars, I believe, are running in TCR Japan this year, too.

This is where it gets tricky, the Danish fellow, is the owner of the team that will run the STCC Alfa. But i believe the car he raced himself, is the one being used in IMSA.

The Danish round will be held? Since the promoter change I saw it was still unconfirmed a few weeks ago.

I don't think this is a good idea for a series with privateers.

Agreed.

Some teams are still using chassis bough back when Leon Eurocup was a thing.
