2016 ETCC news & rumours
TCN2 class confirmed for ETCC
http://www.fiaetcc.com/new-tcn2-tech...-etcc-in-2016/ Personally I would expect Engstler to enter a Golf instead of a BMW. As for others too early to say. Still think it would have been ideal for TCR and ETCC to merge and create a powerful GP2-style feeder championship for WTCC. |

i assume ETCC will have a smaller grid next year compared to 2015.
some of the SMT drivers will move over to ohter TCR series, like Pfister to ADAC TCR. i'd expect Rikli rather to enter a TCR Civic than his Civic FD as the S2000 class will likely have no other entries. wonder howmany TC2T cars we will see in 2016. |

TCR national series will hurt ETCC.
To certain extent it's a shame TCR International has rounds outside Europe. Would rather see a strong European series. Add some extra races like Macau and create (for example) a 3 round TCR World Cup. Also because relative low costs is a strong part of TCR an European only series would be more logicial. In my opinion at least. |

Although better for track-side viewers. Should have gone to the Hungaroring instead, IMO |

More news:
http://touringcars.ru/2015/12/02/etc...endar-konfety/ http://touringcars.ru/2015/12/02/etc...t-dve-mashiny/ 1) S1600 champion to get full TCN-2 season in 2017, and, most importantly, TCN-2 champion to get a full season in WTCC. Ribeiro is trying to make a touring car ladder inside his championships. Curious to see how that will work. Very good idea, though I believe not the easiest one to implement 2) Double points for Vila Real 3) 2 SEATs for Krenek Motorsport (driven by Petr Fulin and Chris Johannes Schreiber) |

ETCC champion to race in WTCC 2017. At one European round. While the S1600 champion will be given a test in TCN-2 car
http://www.fiaetcc.com/once-in-a-lif...etcc-champion/ Good that they are trying to build a touring car ladder but I'm not sure one round in WTCC is enough |

Expected a bit more entries up until this moment, to be honest.
In the meantime, Slovenian team Lema Racing will compete in ETCC with 2 SEATs for Macedonian Igor Stefanovski and Portuguese Fabio Mota http://www.serbiaring.com/igor-stefa...-lema-rejsing/ Last edited by Rubio; 11 Mar 2016 at 21:23. |
