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

Mark0994 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
https://www.touringcartimes.com/2018...dar-confirmed/

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.

Good to see they are coming back to Zandvoort with TCR Europe as support series

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!

I like it more this way. It's like in BTCC or Supercars it will make championship even more exciting.

The season seems a bit to long now. Hope that Sepang doesn't come too late in the year. I prefer Macau as penultimate round. Going into Macau to and drive to win the title is not the best thing

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...

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!!!

 201820192018 Position
Yvan Muller3033332 /\
Gabriele Tarquini3063131 \/

Norbert Michelisz2462734 \/
Frédéric Vervisch2282549 --
Yann Ehrlacher20423810 --

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.

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?

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?)
