Not AFAIK, but they do have the problem that no one seems to want to buy their cars..
Maybe they should run them themselves and show what they can do, like Romeo Ferraris with the Alfas.

Maybe there will be Geely instead of Volvo, but you never know what will happened.

Behind International and WTCR it is my favourite TCR championship. Full race replays on YouTube (I can handle not knowing Russian) and the driving is bonkers. Lots of contact so (for me) it is great and at times amusing to watch.

I like this series too. Circuits I don't know (or didn't know before last year) which is nice for change.

Don't know the quality of the drivers and teams but the BoP seems okay.

This weekend was round 2:

Good idea to make a show with recap of all main TCR championships:

Reminds me a bit of Eurogoals on Eurosport in the mid-00s

It would make sense for them if selling cars is a goal.

Am I the only one beeing a bit tired of the BoP whining? Of course the BoP is not 100% fair, and it never will (and the TCR formula is built around BoP), but there's just too much focus on "that car is faster than mine and it's not fair". In my opinion there should be a rule that you can't says too much or blame the BoP in a way some drivers do (Borkovic etc.) as it may hurt the credibility of TCR and all championships running those regulation. Or maybe there are such rules already? Of course their lips can't or shouldn't be sealed all together, but you should not be able to blame the organisation even in the heat of the moment.

The BoP discussions should be among the participating teams directly to WSC (and FIA in the case of WTCR). I get the feeling many teams and drivers are blaming the BoP when they fail to score as BoP is an easy target, and there's always drama as soon a car, team and driver combination does a good result at a specific track. If you participate in a TCR championship you accept the way the BoP is carried out and you should have faith in those constantly working with it. If you keep talking to media about how you don't have faith in it, you're hurting the regulations and the TCR concept (and all championships running according to it) is slowly losing its credibility.

You can always discuss how fair the BoP is at the moment, but thinking about all TCR championships around the world gathering data on all cars I'd say they are doing a decent job on a pretty damn impossibly task of making all cars equal on every type of track .

The BoP is only fair for the one who wins. Nobody's going to win all the time. On the highway of life you can't always be in the fast lane.

I scanned over the TCR tech regulations but couldnt see anything about not allowing RWD. Maybe I missed it? All I could see was a line which said only 2 wheels may be "driven".

I don't really see that as an argument not to include it. RWD and FWD touring cars have "existed" together for decades.

Is that a list of already homologated cars or a list of car models eligible? And where can that list be found?
