An agreement to launch a TCR Eastern Europe Trophy for 2019 has been reached between WSC Ltd. and Race Event Management, with rounds to be both shared with TCR Europe and run as standalone events.

WSC Ltd, the promoter of the TCR concept, has announced that it will introduce a standard and common Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in TCR to improve the monitoring of engines.

The Opel Astra TCR and the Peugeot 308 TCR have been given an increase in their minimum racing weights, whilst the LADA Vesta TCR has had its minimum weight reduced.

Interest in the planned new-for-2019 TCR Australia series has been so high from tyre manufacturers that the promoter has decided to seek formal tenders for the control tyre contract.

Volkswagen has revealed that it carried out the testing for the electric motor on its I.D. R Pikes Peak record-breaking car in a Golf GTi TCR car earlier in the year.

CUPRA Racing Director Jaime Puig says he wants to see the brand’s new E-Racer TCR car racing before the end of 2018, as further steps are taken towards the inaugural electric touring car series in 2019.

The new TCR Australia series will launch in late 2019 and be promoted by the newly-formed Australian Racing Group, after the Confederation of Australian Motorsport (CAMS) granted the commercial rights to the organisation.

CUPRA continued the testing of their new E-Racer TCR car at the Parcmotor Castellolí circuit near Barcelona this week, with development driver Jordi Gené verifying the engine output and the car’s driveability.

Italian team Tecnodom Sport have unveiled the Fiat Tipo TCR, which it has been designing and building over the past year, with the car set to run in TCR Italy later in the season.
