The second coefficient considers the number of cars taking part in each event, with events featuring more than 20 cars scoring the most. The last 20 race results are taken into account, while drivers who haven’t raced for more than 30 weeks will start to have their oldest results removed in time until they return to competition.

With just two years of results, the TCR World Ranking holds the scores of 928 drivers, with approximately 320 race results per year contributing to the calculation. The TCR World Ranking will be updated at midnight (Central European Time) each Wednesday. Marcello Lotti, President of the WSC Group, said: “With so many championships and so many drivers all racing in TCR, it made absolute sense to launch the TCR World Ranking.
