As this is an English based forum could you expand on this a little

Is it more than just the calendar and why do you think it is silly and means we need to roll our eyes in disapproval? It’s annoyingly short, or is it unrealistic?

The final round could possibly run in Adria, as mentioned in the italian press.

Even though Macau isn’t on the calendar, it’s good that it’s continuing as a standalone event

I am not against a race in Adria. We don't heal in isolation, but in community.

Macau is bigger than WTCR today.

Of course it is and as we will see WTCR can survive without it.

WTCR 2020 calendar is confirmed:
https://www.fiawtcr.com/extended-adr...isit-to-italy/

And it seems that a finale in Adria under the lights is on the cards, judging by the article

What is the thing of Eurosport Events to run events in the middle of the night? Don't they realise that "races under the light" do not bring any extra value to the event itself?

"Under the lights" in November is probably anything after 5pm.

Also appears to mark the end of his full-time racing career. One of the most baffling of recent times. Swinging from unstoppable to mediocre dependent on the year/series.

I think it reflects well on just how good the RBM team were, also evidenced by the form Mat Jackson found in his two seasons running in association with them. (First season was only a loose association, second season Bart Mampaey was directly involved).

Hyundai Motorsport confirms development of a 3rd TCR car from the Elantra model. It is to be raced alongside the i30 N TCR and a Veloster N TCR.

I like the way they developed a strong base, and now put it into different chassis to promote the sales of more than one road model.

A 60-minute qualifying session at the Nordschleife is ridiculous.

Why? It's plenty of time for them to get about 5 timed laps in.
