Especially if they keep Ningbo - the event is pointless since it has no interest (though the track is good)
Shame if they lose Wuhan, actually it was a very good circuit for action.

Sepang should be a night race, Ribeiro is a fan of those so nothing unusual.
Actually happy to see this, because the track is great and season finale may be epic
I agree with you. Wuhan is not such a loss instead, i don't like that type of track that don't produce overtakes.

Sepang is a good track although maybe the action will be a bit slow for touring cars...

If Sepang pays WTCR to go there, they must go. Better there than in Losail. TCR International has been there before.

There's no way Cyan/Polestar/Volvo/Geely/Lynk&Co (it's not a works team, honest) would make their car worse than the Hyundai they were allowed to run for a season to gather data on. Thus, this is the next dominant TCR car and if I were a customer team, I'd get my name on the order books asap.

this is a real dream team line up. Now I'm curious to know who will be other 2 drivers for the cyan team together with muller and bjork.

Interesting to see Farfus back in the 'typical' touring cars. I'm really curious what he'll be able to achieve next year. And also, teams running factory-supported Hyundais are not mentioned. Possibly Tarquini and Michelisz in BRC again but what about the other two?

Two-car teams to be introduced and points system overhauled in 2019

So, new points system will award points for the first Qualifying and points for the top15 as the grid will expand to at least 30 cars.

Comtoyou with 2 Audis and maybe 2 Cupras

I think the rule that a team can only have two cars and manufacturer only four is wrong. Why not allow those who can run three or four cars to do so?
And if there are four cars per manufacturer it means there'll be eight manufacturers as Ribeiro said it's most likely the grid will be 30+.
So Audi, Cupra, Hyundai, Lynk&Co, Honda, Alfa Romeo(??), Peugeot and Volkswagen I suppose.

Well if there will be different manufacturers on the grid it will be better

I think there could be some surprises next year. It's difficult to immagine that Romeo Ferraris or the Peugeot team will line up 4 cars each (although with different teams). Maybe there will be a new VW team but still there are at least 2 slots to fill. Maybe it's time for the Kia returning?

Is the Lada homologated to race in WTCR? Then also Opel and Renault are not represent in WTCR

Lada raced in VLN, so I think they received homologation this year. As he said in interview Comini was set to race with Renault in this year WTCR, but car is in top shape
Also why wouldn't someone race with Opel? They won toughest TCR championship.

I've not seen it mentioned so far, but what's the situation with wildcard entries in 2019? In 2018 we had a maximum 26 car entry with the provision for an additional 2 'guest' cars at most rounds.

Will that still be a thing next year, and if so, I assume they will be exempt from the max 4 per manufacturer rule.

Actually, I support the limit for both makes and teams, because it may level the field a bit. And make the Team championship more even. Though, of course there will be teams like Audi Comtoyou and Comtoyou.

Monster line-up for Hyundai.
Have a feeling that BRC will have Tarquini + Farfus/Catsburg while the other team will have Michelisz + Farfus/Catsburg in order to split the experienced with car guys across both teams.

Indeed very strong lineup for Hyundai.
It's great to have Catsburg and Farfus back.

I have mixed feelings about the max 4 cars limit.
I understand the reason and agree with it but if this leaves out top teams/drivers at the end it's bad for the series.

Personally I hope All-Inkl will run Opels.
