TCR Mexico established as class within Copa Notiauto Mexico

By

TCR Mexico has been established by Duncan Eventos and will run as a class within the Copa Notiauto Mexico as part of a three-year agreement with WSC, the TCR rights holders.

“We are very excited to become part of the TCR family; this is fantastic news for Mexican motorsport to have for the first time an international touring car class in our country,” said Ramón Osorio, director of operations of Copa Notiauto.

“The local teams and drivers are looking forward to the endurance and sprint formats that will bring a lot of first class racing in the racetracks around the country.”

The class will make its debut already this weekend with the 500km Autódromo Monterrey endurance race, the first of 12 race weekends until December.

“We are delighted to add a new flag on the TCR global map,” said WSC President Marcello Lotti.

“The establishment of the TCR Mexico Class in the frame of the Copa Notiauto Mexico further extends the category’s footprint in the American continent. And from a personal point of view, it’s a very emotional moment as it revives fond memories of when we brought international touring car competition to Mexico for the first time ever.”
