TCR Korea set for launch in 2018
TCR Korea is set for launch in 2018 by the TCR promoter WSC Ltd and J’s Consulting, announcing a three-race weekend calendar.
“I’m very pleased to launch the TCR series in Korea for next year, as the interest in Touring Car racing around the world is growing and customer racing has become a worldwide trend,” said Hongsik Jeon, the Promoter of TCR Korea.
”TCR enables teams to use the same cars for competing in national, regional and international championships, thus I believe that the launch of a TCR Korea series will be a big boost for the local teams.”
The series is set to start with a test in June and the following three race weekends in July, September and October, with no tracks yet mentioned.
“I am delighted to welcome TCR Korea into the TCR family. I believe that TCR Korea under the stewardship of J’s Consulting will be a strong addition to the numerous Championships that we have established across the globe and will strengthen the TCR concept and brand here in Asia,” said David Sonenscher, CEO of WSC Asia.
”I am certain that TCR Korea will provide the close action and exciting racing that TCR has become widely known for, and with the recent launch of the Hyundai i30 N TCR, the battle between domestic and international brands will provide an unrivalled attraction for Korean motorsport fans. I wish J’s all the best and we also look forward to holding joint TCR Asia and TCR Korea races in the near future.”
