The FIA World Touring Car Cup’s current format of staging multiple rounds across the globeBoth the organisers and the FIA are assessing options for a new format for the series, while still using the existing TCR technical rules and regulations, with details set to be revealed once a new format is approved by the motorsport governing body.
