The FIA World Touring Car Cup (abbreviated to WTCR, referring to the use of TCR regulations) was an international touring car championship promoted by Eurosport Events and sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). It has had different incarnation of a World Touring Car Cup held between 1993 and 1995. Following the 2017 season, an agreement was reached for the World Touring Car Championship to become WTCR and use the TCR technical regulations. With titles for drivers and teams only, the WTCR series changed to 'World Cup' rather than 'World Championship' status in 2018.

Its engine is a two-liter, four-cylinder, turbo engine. With 330 horsepower, it accelerates to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds. It is somewhat similar in design to a modern DTM car, but the TCR series and the company's goal is customer-based racing with the model, i.e. series production with the models, so they were available at a favorable price compared to a racing car for 129,000 euros. In addition to the model with sequential transmission, Audi also sells to customers a race car with a DSG transmission, which is mostly used in long-distance endurance races.

The Elantra N is the third Hyundai model created under the TCR regulations. For the first time, in 2021 after the successes of the i30 N and the Veloster N, the Korean brand launched a three-volume car in the Series.
Based on the road-going Elantra the new car maintains the strong links between the Hyundai racing cars fans will see on the track, and the cars available from the showroom. The addition of the new package also further builds the Customer Racing department’s growing reputation for producing fast, reliable cars for the increasingly competitive TCR category.
Design work on the Elantra N TCR started from a blank sheet of paper in the second half of 2019, allowing Hyundai Motorsport’s designers and engineers to capitalize on the expertise gained from three years’ work with the i30 N TCR and Veloster N TCR. The approach allowed them to carry across the many strengths of the other racing Hyundai, while also presenting the opportunity to improve on the existing designs where possible.
In line with the TCR regulations the Elantra N TCR is front-wheel drive and is powered by a two-litre turbocharged engine derived from a brand new base engine taken from Hyundai’s family of road-going models. The car will share the same six-speed, paddle-shift operated gearbox as the other Hyundai TCR designs, while the use of the Elantra model as a base provides an instantly recognizable silhouette on track.
With the Elantra N TCR Hyundai Motorsport’s customers will aim to continue the excellent record of the i30 N TCR and Veloster N TCR, which have taken titles on four continents, spanning both national and international series.

It’s the latest stripped out racer and evolution of the Seat Leon WTCC car, the forefather and seed that helps grow the ultra-competitive, relatively low-cost TCR racing series.
The TCR format was based on the old Seat Leon race cars that proved to be very popular and competitive as a single-make series. Being based on Volkswagen Group’s venerated MQB architecture, Cupra now builds all the VW-based cars (the Audi RS3 LMS TCR and Golf GTI TCR) at its factory just outside Barcelona. Having been involved since before the TCR championship's debut season in 2015, means that it’s made an incredibly reliable and cost-effective race car.
The car arrives at the factory as a standard Leon but is quickly stripped down to the shell and modified for safety. The transmission tunnel is hammered in to make sure the driver is more central in the car to protect against side impacts and a hefty roll-cage is welded in. Outside, a new aero package is fitted that includes a series standardised carbon fibre front splitter (one of only a few carbon parts), rear ‘grasshopper’ spoiler (for more downforce), huge plank-like side skirts and an aggressive front end with added cooling. Thanks to fully adjustable suspension, it sits a lot lower and lightweight wheels wrapped in slicks fill the swollen arches.
