Current season

The TCR European Endurance Touring Car Series is a touring car racing series consisting of two-hour endurance racing in Europe. It is promoted by RIZA International, and started in 2024.[1]

The format consists of a two-hour race split in two 60-minute stages with a mandatory pit stop for the change of race driver and two tires supplied solely by Kumho. The race result is the sum of the two stages.[1]

The grid for the first stage is determined by the sum of the fastest times set in two qualifying sessions of 15 minutes each, one for each of the two drivers. The grid for the second stage is determined by the results of the first stage. The race features three classes, Overall, DSG and Gen1. The race is streamed live on TCR TV and YouTube.[1]

The competition is promoted by Brazilian former race driver Maurício Slaviero, founder of RIZA International, co-promoter of TCR South America and TCR Brasil, former promoter of the Brazilian Stock Cars series.[1]

In 2024, four legs are held, one in Hungary, three in Italy.[1]

In 2025, five legs will be held, one in Hungary, one in Slovakia three in Italy.[1]

Champions: Overall: Turgut Konukoğlu and Eric Brigliadori Gen1: Barkın Pınar DSG: İbrahim Okyay and Seda Kaçan [1]
