FIA and Eurosport Events sign WTCR three-year extension

Eurosport Events, in partnership with the FIA and WSC, will continue to make the WTCR − FIA World Touring Car Cup even stronger and better into the future. The company has signed a three-year contract extension with motorsport’s world governing body to promote the WTCR for the 2023, 2024 and 2025 seasons.
The licence agreement with WSC to use the TCR technical regulations has also been extended to cover the same period, further underlining the shared objective of Eurosport Events, the FIA and WSC to provide teams and customer racing departments with a stable and proven platform on which to compete for the long term.

Alan Gow, President of the FIA Touring Car Commission, said: “In Eurosport Events we have a partner that’s fully committed to delivering the best possible WTCR. We are delighted to be extending this extremely successful alliance that began in 2005 and shows no sign of slowing down, only speeding up.” 

Marcello Lotti, President of the WSC Group, said: “Having a strong series at the top of the TCR pyramid is essential to the ongoing and unprecedented success of the TCR category around the world and we are pleased there will be a WTCR for at least another three years after this as we continue our partnership with Eurosport Events and the FIA.”

François Ribeiro, Head of Eurosport Events, said: “We’ve worked non-stop to keep high the level of WTCR through a very constructive cooperation with the FIA and a quality global promotion. By securing a contract extension, even during this unprecedented period we are all living through, we’ve cemented this commitment and provided much needed stability to all our stakeholders.”
