You might think that TCR cars are built purely
for sprint races, but this couldn’t be further
from the truth. The TCR species is made of
racing cars that come straight from the very
same production models it is possible to buy
from your local dealers. Of course their bodies,
engines and chassis are modified to achieve
outstanding performances on the racetrack, but
reliability remains one of their strongest points,
as well as their affordable running costs.
It’s not a surprise, therefore, to see them
successfully taking part in long distance races
such as the rounds of the 24H Series powered by
Hankook and promoted by Dutch company
Creventic. For the 2016 season, a separate class
for TCR-spec cars was added to the portfolio of
the series. “Following the increasing popularity
of TCR and with more and more cars becoming
available, this was a logical step,” said Gerrie
Willems of Creventic.
