Eurosport is a shambles. I will give them props for their support of LeMans (in terms of dedicated broadcast hours etc), however apart from that the scheduling and general competence for broadcasts is very poor.

Shambles is a very accurate word. Eurosport and Brexit are the same. Will we be allowed Eurosport if we're not in Europe? 🙄

Guerrieri and Monteiro for Honda Vernay, Shedden in Audi Now Vervisch is factory driver, so he could race in third Audi. No idea about fourth Audi and two Honda's TCT said that NĂ©stor Girolami is looking for WTCR drive. Also VW have Huff, Kristoffersson, Bennani and maybe Turkington Zengo said that they aren't 100% sure that they will race with Cupra's or with Hungarian drivers. So even Cupra can then field 4 factory drivers Oriola as best placed Leon this year, Filippi with Oscaro sponsorship and Azcona as TCR Europe champions is most likely scenario. |

I know that fan's of these series won't approve this, but I would like to see champions from touring series around the world in WTCR.
Sutton, Turkington, Ardusso, McLaughlin... |

It would be great to see Kristoffersson in the championship. He's excellent.

Zengo are a shadow of their former self, looking incredibly amateur in a strong field. Would love to see a different Cupra team come in.

Yeah, they need to get better or get out. They've contributed very little to the series in the last few years.

Zengő is under rebuilding. In 2016 they have not only lost Michelisz, but their best engineers and mechanics. There are only two guys left from that extremely successful squad. They have very young drivers, and mostly inexperienced staff. Very good guys, but they have to learn.
Also it is very difficult to raise money in Hungary, as there are laws that encourage companies to spend on football, handball, waterpolo, etc. On the other hand: Zengő was loyal to the championship when almost everyone else left it, in 2017, when there were only 15-16 cars. WTCC needed them deeply. So I think the team is hight at the promoter, with all their problems. See, things are usualy more complex than simply "looking amateur". |

This is shaping up to be the best driver line-up that has ever been in world touring cars. Kristofferson can be a huge addition to the already storng field
Personally I would also like to see Azcona in 2019, in order to see other TCR champions join the field |

This was my point. They could move to TCR Europe and show more competively ahead of rejoining WTCR in future. There are teams performing so much better with a Cupra that would be more competitive in WTCR, like PWR in STCC. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk |

Mulsanne/Romeo Ferraris completed testing with some drivers. Ceccon drove the car and so also Ma, Coronel and Jono Lester.
Seems to me that Ceccon could be confirmed, then the team could bring in someone with sponsors |

I guess that also points to Coronel being out at Honda; making room for a factory-placed driver, one would think.

Both Coronel and Ma drove for Boutsen Ginion. Considering their rather dissapointing effort with the Honda compared to Munnich perhaps Honda has another team lined up to run their cars? With only 4 cars to run you have to make the best out of it, and Boutsen Ginion hasn't really done that this year.
