Car pooling 'not impossible'
in the TCR International Series
Sharing a car is not currently allowed by the Sporting Regula-
tions of the TCR International Series. However, it can’t be ruled
out that this possibility might be introduced in the near future
with the aim of cutting costs.
Marcello Lotti, promoter of the International Series reflects on
this idea: “The TCR concept is already tailored towards keeping
the running costs under strict control at an affordable level.
However, it is clear that allowing drivers to share a car may be
a valid ploy to further reduce those costs. This also offers the
opportunity to get involved with TCR racing to a greater
number of drivers. Nothing prevents us from implementing
this in the International Series, although I don’t see it as the
standard principle but rather as an exception that could
decide a dedicated trophy.”
