TCR International Series

TCR International was an international touring car series, founded by the former WTCC manager Marcello Lotti.

History
Initially called TC3 International Series, the plans were started by Lotti in July 2014 with several of the race weekends were scheduled to be held as support category to the Formula One World Championship. On 5 December 2014, the series was approved by the FIA World Motorsport Council and renamed TCR International Series instead of using the original TC3 International Series name.

On 6 December 2017, FIA's World Motorsport Council announced that the series will merge with World Touring Car Championship to form the all-new FIA World Toring Car Cup starting in 2018.

Race weekend format
The race weekend structure, used by the series, was similar to the one by the FIA World Touring Car Championship - two free practice sessions and a two part qualifying session, followed by two races on Sunday.

OMP Trophy
All drivers displaying an OMP badge were eligible for the OMP Trophy. Points are awarded for championships and the use of OMP safety equipment. At the end of the season, the top four drivers win a cash prize.
