DRIVERS TEAM

The 2016 season marked the launch of the TCR concept in both Portugal

and Spain.

We followed two different paths: a stand-alone TCR series within the CNV

(Campeonato Nacional de Velocidade) in Portugal and a TCR class within

the CER (Campeonato de España Resistencia) in Spain.

Both experiments proved successful. Teams and drivers of a very good

level joined TCR Portugal with cars from four different brands and the

series also attracted competitors from other countries, while a number of

Spanish teams proved that the SEAT León cars previously used in the

one-make trophy were excellent for the CER endurance races.

As the season progressed, both Full Eventos and V-Line Org were

approached by a number of other teams that were amazed by the

combination of top level competition and affordable budget and who

showed interest to join from next year.

This made us think that it was possible to join forces to form a TCR

Ibérico series that could attract competitors from both countries and

could also become an interesting platform for sponsors and media.

Eventually we decided to launch a common series that will be run across

four events, two each in both the Spanish and Portuguese TCR national

championships. The calendars have been studied to avoid clashes and so

will enable competitors to take part in all seven race meetings that form

the three series, fighting for three different titles.

We are confident that this will be a major step forward in the process of

reviving the long-standing tradition of Touring Car competition in the

whole Iberian peninsula.
