So, heres how its looking, with confirmed guys in there plus strong possibilities, and then my guesses at the end.
Im sure Cupra will be present with 4 cars, they are leading the push towards ETCR in a big way, so I cant see them easing off before then. Plus TCR is their way of showing off the Cupra name. Peugeot may have more than two cars but im doubtful.. All-Inkl still saying they arent tied to honda for 2019.. Not sure who would run the 4 hondas at that point.. Bousten Ginion seem pretty active still, and of course, then theres Target Competition and Hell Energy in Euro TCR who could step up. Last uncertainties then are Alfa Romeo and Opel Lynk & Co Cyan Racing - Lynk & Co 03 TCR - Thed Bjork Lynk & Co Cyan Racing - Lynk & Co 03 TCR - Yvan Muller TBC - Lynk & Co 03 TCR - Yann Ehrlacher TBC - Lynk & Co 03 TCR - TBC TBC - Hyundai i30 N TCR - Gabriele Tarquini TBC - Hyundai i30 N TCR - Nicky Catsburg TBC - Hyundai i30 N TCR - Norbert Michelisz TBC - Hyundai i30 N TCR - Augusto Farfus Audi Sport Team WRT - Audi RS3 LMS TCR - Gordon Shedden Audi Sport Team WRT - Audi RS3 LMS TCR - John-Karl Vernay Audi Comtoyou - Audi RS3 LMS TCR - Frederic Vervisch Audi Comtoyou - Audi RS3 LMS TCR - TBC - Honda Civic Type-R TCR - Tiago Monteiro TBC - Honda Civic Type-R TCR - Estan Guerrieri TBC - Honda Civic Type-R TCR - TBC - Honda Civic Type-R TCR - Sebastian Loeb Racing - VW Golf GTI TCR - Rob Huff Sebastian Loeb Racing - VW Golf GTI TCR - Mehdi Bennani TBC - VW Golf GTI TCR - TBC - VW Golf GTI TCR - TBC - Peugeot 308TCR - Aurelien Comte TBC - Peugeot 308TCR - Alfa??? Alfa??? Cupra??? Cupra??? Cupra??? Cupra??? All-Inkl??? All-Inkl??? Opel??? Opel??? |

Apr 7th – Marrakech, Morocco Apr 28th – Hungaroring, Hungary May 12th – Slovakiaring, Slovakia May 19th – Zandvoort, The Netherlands Jun 22nd – Nurburgring, Germany Jul 7th – Vila Real, Portugal Sept 15th – Ningbo, China Oct 27th – Suzuka, Japan Nov 17th – Macau, SAR China TBC – Sepang, Malaysia Season finale at Sepang, with night race. I don't think it's good idea to race at Sepang after Macau... Also limit will be 32 cars next year Also all three races will now have same amount of points. The new points system is 25-20-16-13-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. |

I feel that the points system became too flat. First place should net 30 or even 35 points and go down from there. Last season was 7 points from 1. to 2., now it will be only five.
When you're 6. or lower you gain only one point for an overtake. last year only 10. to 9. was single point, anything above that had a difference of two or more. Although the gap between 2. and 3. is now 4 points, and it was 3/3/4 last season. |

Just don't understand that there isn't a round in Italy... Should replace Vila Real for Monza/Imola... They have Alfa, BRC, a great TCR Italy championship and 2018 champion Tarquini! |

again s**t of marrakech and Vila real... and not monza or donington park atleast they understood that 6 cars for a mmanufacture were too much and point system was too much complicated even if i dont like this point system cause it doesn't reward enough who arrive on podium but it advantages those who arrive always in top 15.

Slovakia Ring and Sepang (December 7-8) will be run alongside the EWC, motorbikes endurance. Another strange idea by Ribeiro and Eurosport Events...

Enna-Pergusa? It is Italy (people in Sicily disagree?) and close to Marocco. |

This calendar is a pity and unfortunately makes WTCR offputting a bit. Still good that Zandvoort will be in the calendar but instead of Villa Real, Ningbo, Marrakech and Sepang, I would like see something different, that suits touring cars more and makes racing more interesting.

Vila Real, Marrakech and Sepang pay to host WTCR. Ningbo is the home of Volvo's Chinese brother. Come on, come on, listen to the moneytalk. |

Pergusa is not even in the TCR Italy calendar, how can it be in the WTCR calendar? Pergusa lacks money since years.

This is what 2018 would have looked like with these points and wildcards not scoring. Muller would have been champion!!!
Muller lead by 13 points into the last race so Tarquini needed a 4th or better to win. No changes in Teams championship except more one sided. It was wrapped up with 1 race to go. YMR - 632 BRC - 586 Munnich - 539 SLR - 488 WRT - 438 |

Who are the two blurred people at the bottom right of this picture?
You can see Yvan Muller and I would maybe guess Ehrlacher is one of the blurred people. Is Thed Bjork up at the top left? In which case, who is the man with dark hair blurred out? A fourth driver perhaps? https://twitter.com/Cyan_Racing/stat...04799979151360 |

This is a total guess (and I suspect wrong) but could it be Andy Priaulx (the woman sat next to him could possibly be Jo Priaulx?)
