Plans announced for national ETCR series in America, Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East

WSC, the TCR rights holder and TCR Euro Series LTD, have announced plans to launch a ETCR Europe series for late 2022 with a total of four race weekends, as well as a number of national championships.

“The plan is to start in wintertime, between November 2022 and March 2023. Obviously, we cannot begin with seven events like TCR Europe, so the idea for the inaugural season is to have four events,” said Paulo Ferreira, TCR Euro Series CEO.

“We are also considering the idea of sharing the bill with TCR Europe’s last round of 2022 and the 2023 season-opener.”

WSC has also announced plans for championships in America, Africa, America and the Middle East.

“We are very pleased, because Paulo is a long-time member of the TCR family,” said Marcello Lotti, president of WSC.

“It is also important to point out that, on top of this, we are already working to set up ETCR series in the Middle East and Africa, over the same wintertime period 2022/2023, covering the whole EMEA region.”

Details around the costs for the electric touring cars adjusted for national and regional series’ are yet to be announced.

“One of the crucial points is the cost of the car that will be unveiled by the end of September. However, after talking to Marcello Lotti I know it will be surprisingly affordable,” said Ferreira.
