TCR has taken its latest hit with global promoter WSC forced to pull the pin on its inaugural World Ranking Final.
The hot-hatch category has generally lost momentum in recent years, including in Australia where the 2025 national series was cancelled altogether.
There’s yet to be any firm indication if it will be revived for next year.

As for the world final, that had been scheduled for later this month at Vallelunga in Italy, with all sorts of prizes on offer.
But it’s not to be, officially “put on hold”.
“Following the interest that had been shown towards this project, WSC has dedicated significant efforts in planning the event several months in advance, scheduling it to take place in Vallelunga on November 21/22 and compiling an attractive prize pool,” read a statement.
“However, eventually the anticipated level of interest did not materialise at the closing of the entry date.
“WSC is now analysing the reasons for this situation and will explore subsequent options for the project together with the TCR customers.”
In one positive, there were 22 cars in action at the penultimate round of the TCR World Tour on the weekend at Zhozhou in China.
Macau will host the World Tour decider across November 13-16.
