TCR UK 2025
The dust has settled on the 2024 TCR UK season so thoughts turn to 2025.
Calendar:

The season starts with 2 meetings at Donington (including one with British GT) and concludes at Brands Hatch (supporting Trucks). Interesting to see how it works out bouncing around supporting different championships throughout the season - it looks like they've accepted that they're not a headline act. British GT and the the November truck meeting should get them in front of some bigger crowds so could be a positive. Although being support for the trucks does leave you at the mercy of the gods with regard to the race timings (often long delays in the timetable whilst barriers are rebuilt).
The Gen 1 cup continues for the 2025 season - probably a good idea as it gives the older cars something to fight for and they need as many entries as possible.
Boardley has his car up for sale - is that so he can bring a new car in? Or he's moving on to something else? Or just a punt to see if anyone will take it and if not he'll carry on using it?
Sam and Steve Laidlaw ran at the last round in 2024 using new CUPRA Leons with an eye on running them in 2025 - so we can assume they're a likely entry. Any other entries people know about? Anyone from the 2024 season definitely not continuing? There has been talk of people maybe moving over to the Porsche Cayman championship as an alternative to TCR.
