2018 World Touring Car Cup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 116.68.88.219 (talk) at 14:25, 15 July 2018. The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

The FIA World Touring Car Cup (known as the FIA WTCR presented by Oscaro for sponsorship reasons)[1] is an international touring car championship promoted by Eurosport Events and sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), as the highest class of competition for touring cars.

The 2018 World Touring Car Cup (WTCR) takes over from the World Touring Car Championship and adopts the TCR technical regulations, though it will be the 14th overall season of the series that dates from the 2005 World Touring Car Championship. The change of name and new rules follow the declining interest in the TC1 regulations used by the World Touring Car Championship between 2014 and 2017 and the growing interest among manufacturers in the TCR touring car category.[2]

Rule changes

Sporting regulations

  • With titles for drivers and teams only the new series will receive "World Cup" rather than "World Championship" status. Manufacturers will be able to develop cars for competition that are then sold to privateer entrants and will also be allowed to provide ongoing support and development to those teams.[2]
  • The WTCR series will be capped at 26 entries with up to two wildcards nominated by the organizers at each race weekend. The entry cap will be in place for all races except for Wuhan (Where the TCR China Series will merge) and Macau.[citation needed] All Teams will have to enter a minimum two cars with an entry fee of 150,000 Euro.[49]
  • The weekend format was also changed. Now there are three races per weekend instead of two with the first race being held on Saturdays with its own 30-minute qualifying session right after the two Free Practice sessions. On Sundays there is going to be another qualifying session to determine the grid for Race 3, while Race 2's starting grid will have the Top 10 drivers from the session in reverse order.[50]
  • The tires will be supplied by Yokohama and the fuel by Panta.[51]
