the limited racing in Macau caused
by crashes involving cars from
another series and the resulting
Safety Car and race suspensions
meant the final race meeting was
undoubtedly the season’s lowest
point. The frustration felt by
Comini and the other drivers
fighting for the title was obvious
after Race 1, with both races only
awarding half points thanks to the
stoppages. Promoter Marcello Lotti
has confirmed that Macau isn’t on
the draft calendar for 2017, so that
situation won’t be an issue for TCR
next season.
Macau aside, the 2016 TCR
International Series was judged to
have been a success by drivers,
teams and spectators alike. Social
media interaction has steadily
increased during the year and fans
around the globe welcomed the live
video streams of the races on the
series’ websites and on Facebook
and YouTube.
2017 promises new venues on the
calendar, more car brands and
further expansion of the TCR
‘family’. Judging by the success of
the 2016 season, one thing is
already certain - it’ll be unmissable!
