FIA to establish a regional championship framework for touring cars

The FIA Touring Car Commission has confirmed that it will work to establish a touring car framework for regional championships, and will soon invite various promoters to tender to run these championships.

The move was announced at the extraordinary meeting of the World Motor Sport Council yesterday, and is clearly influenced in the recent resurgence in national touring car series across the world.

The Commission plans to establish a framework which “will play a key role in establishing a touring car pyramid – as found in other disciplines with world, regional and national levels”
