It absolutely is. Is anyone even following what's going on in this pseudo racing contest?

Indeed there is the WTCR series. Some could do better like TCR Uk, then there are others

WTCR is probably the best, despite so many races around the world. TCR UK is a great idea that hasn’t gone well. The others have been alright

TCR Italy have great selection of cars, drivers not so much
TCR Germany have some great races
TCR Europe 'should' have best European drivers racing there, but still it was very good last year.

Vuković Motorsport has launched a redesigned Renault Mégane RS TCR as the official partner and distributor of TCR cars to Renault Sport.

“We are very optimistic today and we are also excited about working together with Renault Sport. I think we have the potential to fight for the front positions in every TCR series and we will unveil our racing programme in the next days,” said company owner Milenko Vuković.

The Mégane RS TCR, first launched in August last year, has been updated for the 2019 season regarding suspension, aerodynamics and a new engine.

“The car has been redesigned in many parts during the past six months. The front and rear suspension have been fine-tuned, just like the transmission, the aerodynamics has been radically revised and we also have a new engine that has been developed in the mapping, fuel injection and cooling system,” said Vuković.

What support do they really get from Renault?

The main question shall be why is Renault Sport supporting this failure in the making?

If they manage to get the car on the same level as the Alfa Romeo I don't see it as a failure. Of course their first attempt was a failure.

One guy who works in Hyundai Motorsport was present at Valencia BoP and he said that every car that was driven in Valencia this and previous year are covered by 2 seconds without BoP.
Cupra is fastest car and Giulietta is slowest.

Can't compare! We all know the BoP of the Alfa Romeo has always been kind! When Team Mulsanne hit the bottom in 2018 WTCR with Gio & Morbi leaving - it suddenly got some extra power and started winning!


Una grande famiglia!

I meant without BoP.
Just normal car without any BoP, ECU tinkering and ballast.

Big news. Daniel Ricciardo will race a TCR Renault this year after testing one at Bedford which he found "fun". He says he has a better chance of a world championship in this Renault than his normal day drive.

Or maybe it's a PR stunt. Who really knows

If the rumours are right, then they could be supporting a WTCR effort

In China there is this MG6 TCR version, but still plans to race the car are uncertain...has someone got any news?



The livery in the image recalls the one used in BTCC with the old ZS with Anthony Reid and Warren Hughes and then Colin Turkington as drivers in the early 2000

Weirdly enough, I snapped this picture only yesterday. I was at an office near Birmingham. There was lots of racing paraphernalia scattered around the place, a car with a roll cage, what looked like an old Fiesta Zetec car etc.

It seems the car could make the debut in WTCR. Maybe there is a project of MG to return racing in touring cars with high ambitions... Still difficult to find credible news from China ...
