A lot of good names will start TCR Europe and the national TCR series
For example TCR Italy and TCR Europe have no clash |

Anyway, I think that 3 races per event is a wrong choice: often in touring car races we See many accidents and the cars can't be repaired for next races. In My opinion an interesting format could be free practices on friday or saturday, 2 qualifying races on saturday for The grid (first heat for positions from 15 To 28 And second heat for pole position To p14, both heats 3 laps); single race on Sunday, At about 30 laps (or 30-35 minutes long)

3 races is an awesome move! If you ever attended a WTCC weekend and drove there for hours to see a total of 45 min of racing you really feel ripped of. Now we get around 75 Minutes and three intensive heats. And race one is on saturday... so one night and one morning for repairs.

The problem is the points system is too confusing

Agreed. And for the 2019 id suggest to organizer to put a max limit of cars that manufacture can field in the championships. I mean if we should have a car model clearly stronger of all others cars its obvious that lots team will want that model.
For me its still unbelievable how can some team can choose alfa romeo giulietta prepared by romeo ferraris (a private team without any support from alfa) rather than choosing audi seat vw or honda. I wouldnt use that car neither if they give me for free. |

Another reason to drive a car like the alfa is that you are more visible to the public then the 5th Audi driver. You distinguish yourself, make a win more memorable to the public, maybe more interesting to possible sponsors. But if you intend to win the championship, better stay away from those cars... |

The Giulietta isn't so bad. It goes strong in some places and it is worst in others but thanks also to BOP is a good lower budget option than VW, Audi, Honda...
Borkovic is a quick driver |

No. Its by far the best independenty build car. But without a lot more development on the suspension and drivability no team could pull off a championship win with it.
And i love Borkovic for his extreme driving style... and his occasionally competitive speed. I prefer that to some other drivers who never excite me. |

Furthermore, a single race is better for TV deals: with 2 or 3 races the risk is to watch races delayed by hours or days. |

Turismo Carretera also races ~40 plus main race + multiple short heats AND as far as i understand there are 4 different classes on one weekend. And TV is mostly dead anyway. Streaming is the future for motorsports. Well, actually already the present. |

Obviously the WTCR race won't be the sole competition of The event... And more races you put in the event more are chances to be missed or totally skipped by fans, at least live on TV/streaming etc. |

I'd like WTCR to copy Argentine touring car racing. For example, a 20 minute sprint race and a 40 minute feature race. Or two 15 minute races with split grids, and a 40 minute feature race.

This and 3 race format is both an improvement over the previous WTCC and TCR 2 race format.

But please, please keep on streaming... I dont want to buy into the eurosport player. 3 25 min races imo are just the perfect balance between consumerability, exciting racing and sporting value... a WC cant ship 26 cars to lets say Argentina for 45 min of competition, that is and always was absolutely ridiciolous.
