You have a point, but it's still reasonable to worry that the full-season entries won't come. Slightly different context, but have a look back to the 2005 and 2006 seasons of Italian Superturismo when they briefly ran S2000 regulations.
It was easy enough finding entries for the first 3 rounds where they ran within the WTCC races. Once they had moved on to the 'Italian-only' rounds, the entries slowly dwindled, particularly when a driver fell out of title contention as there just wasn't enough of an incentive to justify the expense. |

This is why I was in favour of WRC adopting "pure" Super 2000 regulations back when that was thing, so that privateers (both national and international) were all in the same class as the works teams and could potentially (if not realistically) challenge the world-level works teams for outright rally victory, as well in favour of Le Mans/WEC adopting the old open-formula LMP2 as a single top class with everyone in the same class! |

(Unless I underestimate Kumho, but they can't even compete with domestic rival Hankook who have just about made that step to tier-one status when Kumho haven't been able to, let alone rival global tier-one brands, no?) |

I'd say one improvement over WTCR is that they are combing events with other TCR championship events, either continental or national. So at least you will have some local interest

Hopefully Santi Urrutia keeps his seat at Lynk.

TCR World Tour to race at Vallelunga:
https://tcr-worldranking.com/news/it...ts-third-event Up to 18 TCR Italy regulars will join the event, although it seems it won't count into TCR Italy championship |

Article in today's Autosport about Restart Racing in TCR UK. An interesting quote from Burt Taylor, asked about the going back to BTCC - "I wouldn’t say never, but the plan is now we’ve done a deal with Scott and Chris, and we want to do TCR UK, and go round the world, race in Europe, Asia, Australia…"
Could we see Chris Smiley doing some World Tour rounds this year? |

I'd like to see Smiley give it a try, I reckon he could surprise a few

Yeah, definitely not the most popular platform to say the least.
Though it seems they will develop a special platform, which will just replace the current TCR TV which is really outdated and needs revisions. Hopefully, at least it will make broadcasts of different TCR races accessible. |

Why can't they put it on Youtube like TCR Europe?

Too easy…or perhaps harder to paywall?
