The FIA World Touring Car Cup will come to an end in its current format at the end of the 2022 season. Full story ⬇️
After a dip in popularity and manufacturer involvement the series switched to TCR rules in 2018.
This season’s German round was also cancelled midway through due to Goodyear tyre failures at the Nurburgring Nordschleife, which remerged at the Vallelunga round due to extreme temperatures, but the round was completed at the Italian track.That appeared to be the final straw for the Cyan Lynk & Co squad, having previously voiced frustrations at the tyre situation and at the series’ Balance of Performance rules adding weight to its cars and exacerbating the tyre problem.
In a statement from FIA Touring Car Commission President Alan Gow, the organising bodies will look to assess the series’ new format while also confirming the FIA ETCR eTouring Car World Cup will be unchanged from 2023. “Our goal would be to maintain a world title for conventionally powered touring cars and ensure the competition is strong and prestigious.
