The TCR Europe Touring Car Series is an annual touring car racing event that is held at various locations across Europe.
On 15 October 2015, Marcello Lotti revealed plans for a European Series including one round from each TCR European championship (Italy, Spain, Germany, Portugal, Russia and Benelux), starting from 2016.[1] On 26 February 2016, the European Trophy was launched, with six rounds (Spanish championship was excluded for not having an own series and Benelux series had two rounds).[2] Subsequent change was made during the course of the season to include additional round from the German series.
For the 2017 edition was adopted the one-off event format with two races. For 2018 it was upgraded to TCR Europe Series with 7 events, five of which would support International GT Open.For the following year the Series continued to have 7 events all over Europe with circa 30 cars and always supporting the International GT Open. Due to COVID-19 pandemic the starting of 2020 season has been postponed to the end of August and supporting SRO Organization with a starting grid of 25 cars. [3]
