And so ends the story of the World Touring Cars

A series spanning 17 years, finally coming to a close.

[royal obsidian]

of all the drama, of all the glory, the final championship can only be won by one

it's going Spanish, Azcona is the final champion of the world!

It's also going Korean, as Hyundai is the final team's champion of the world!

Although the era of the world touring cars has come to a close, we cannot forget about its electric counterparts

And then from next year we will have Scandinavian TCR with focus in Sweden, Danish TCR and Finnish TCR racing

and STCC

all 4 are different championship

TCR Scandinavia was actually created in 2017

merged with STCC in 2019

and now split again

But as for this year, Alpine used an N/A engine and were able to challenge Toyota. However, Alpine won’t be competing in the LMH class in 2023

In addition, considering how Porsche is Porsche, plus them also being N/A, I think they would take the fight to Ferrari and Toyota

Alpine better dominate or at the very least win legitimately because they’re the only LMP2 works team and the rest of the field wouldn’t stand a CHANCE against their F1 team if they were to compete in F1, let alone Mercedes and Ferrari

Why bring F1 into this

[lethal yacht]

Because El Plan has propelled Alpine in front of McLaren AND Aston Martin. And the rest of the LMP2 teams were on the same level as MANOR.

What does Alpine's F1 program have to do with the WEC?

Their F1 and LMP2 efforts are two separate things

not to be too much critical of Zhou, but he's had an alright season, but when you compare it the name mentioned above.

Cindric won the Daytona 500, and had couple of impressive drives into the top 10.
Lundgaard was this year's best rookie in Indycar, and had spectacular drives especially at Gateway.
And to make it short for Hirakawa, he's won a WEC title in his debut season.

there are 2 races on the top of my head that clashes, I think Barber clashes with 6h of Spa, and Portimao with Long Beach.

and the season finale at Long Beach clashes with Fuji.

but I think RoGro will likely give up Indy since he doesn't have large success there (as of now), and it's really challenging to do both series at once, because it's really demanding seeing that WEC is separated in some races 1 week before Indy and Vice-versa, and it could be a really short time for him to deal with the jet lag.

among many other reasons.

We already know that the car will be based on an Oreca chassis, like the Acura ARX-06, but what will be hidden under the rear bonnet? According to our information, it will be an engine derived from the Mecachrome 3.4 litre V6 turbo currently used in Formula 2.

Did Alpine not have a look at Ginetta's LMP1 outing before considering this?
