Here's a summary of the number of entries since the series began as European Super Touring in 2000. It's been pretty pathetic since TC1 came in.

the main problem with the TC1 cars are the high costs for the independent teams and the Organization failing to understand that they need to support the independent teams instead of only caring about the works teams.

2017 calendar revealed.

Quote:
Date – Location
April 9th – Marrakech, Marrocco*
April 30th – Monza, Italy*
May 14th – Hungaroring, Hungary*
May 27th – Nordschleife, Germany*
June 25th – Vila Real, Portugal
August 6th – Termas De Rio Hondo, Argentina*
October 15th – Shanghai, China*/**/***
October 29th – Motegi, Japan
November 19th – Macau, China*
December 1st – Losail, Qatar*

*Subject to ASN confirmation
**Subject to circuit homologation
***Pending event promoter agreement

That's a hell of a lot of asterisks.

Quote:
There is an ongoing investigation process ahead of the 2017 season regarding the introduction of a joker lap in similar style to that used in World Rallycross. No further details have been released as of yet other than that it would only be used on the temporary circuits of the calendar.

:slaphead:

WTCC-2 confirmed.

Quote:
“It’s fair to say the jump from the ETCC to a TC1 World Touring Car is high so by creating WTCC-2, we’re providing an achievable next step for career-focused drivers.”

Yeah, you keep telling yourself that...

Overtaking via a joker lap is the same as overtaking via pit stops. It's boring and I don't want to see it.

There might still be some Ladas on the grid this year.

Patrick Head proposed Joker Laps for Formula 1 back in the late 1990s....

I'm in agreeance with others, leave the racing on the track (hence why i hate compulsory pitstops)

As a Lada owner, hopefully a few Lada's do appear during the season.

Munnich switch to Citroen and sign Huff.

Rob probably has a better shot of winning with this team than he did with Honda.

If they go with Michigami in the third Honda... :yuk:
