The FIA World Touring Car Cup (Known as the FIA WTCR presented by Oscaro for sponsorship reasons[1]) is an international touring car championship promoted by Eurosport Events and sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). It has had different incarnation of a World Touring Car Cup held between 1993 and 1995. Following the 2017 season, an agreement was reached for the World Touring Car Championship to become WTCR and use the TCR technical regulations. With titles for drivers and teams only, the WTCR series will receive 'World Cup' rather than 'World Championship' status when it runs for the first time in 2018.[2]

History



World Touring Car Cup (1993–1995)


See also: 1993 FIA Touring Car Challenge, 1994 FIA Touring Car World Cup, and 1995 FIA Touring Car World Cup

In 1993, with the high popularity of the Supertouring category, the FIA hosted the FIA World Touring Car Cup — an annual event for touring car drivers hailing from national championships all over the world. The 1993 race at Monza was won by New Zealand's Paul Radisich, at the wheel of a Ford Mondeo ahead of Nicola Larini's Alfa Romeo 155, with no manufacturer title awarded. The race was run for two more years, (won by Paul Radisich again in 1994 at Donington Park in a Ford Mondeo, manufacturer title went to BMW, and Frank Biela in 1995 at Paul Ricard in an Audi A4 Quattro, and manufacturer title went to Audi). A similar event was planned for 1996 at the A1 Ring, Austria, but was cancelled due to a low number of provisional entries (10 cars). It was never brought back thereafter.

World Touring Car Cup (2018–present)


On 6 December 2017, during the FIA's World Motorsport Council in Paris, it was approved the formation of the new World Touring Car Cup starting from 2018. The new series would utilize the TCR rules, which have been in use in numerous national and international touring car racing series, including TCR International Series. Cars would now have to conform to the new FIA WTCR regulations. As a result of the formation of the WTC Cup both the WTCC in its current format and the TCR International Series would be discontinued immediately.[3]
