TCR World Ranking
CONCEPT & METHOD
Brief introduction to the ranking: why it has been introduced and how it works
The Concept
The TCR category for Touring Car competition was conceived in 2014 by Marcello Lotti and launched by WSC, which is the owner of the TCR name, trademark and Technical Regulations.
TCR is reserved for production cars with a 4/5-door saloon or hatchback body that are powered by a 2-litre turbocharged-engine with output limited to 340bhp.
Starting in 2015 with the TCR International Series, the category quickly proliferated across Touring Car racing globally, becoming one of the most successful business cases in motorsport history - with more than forty TCR-sanctioned series all around the world, and more than 1,300 racing cars representing fourteen brands.
This growth has resulted in the involvement of an incredible number of drivers, who often jump from series to series during the same year, taking advantage of the common technical regulations.
The Method
The TCR World Ranking takes into account the list of eligible races in the frame of the TCR-sanctioned series/events.
Each series/event is allocated a Coefficient A of level determined by their status.
The ranking of each driver is determined by their last 20 results.
When a driver fails to take part in a TCR event after 30 weeks, the driver will then drop their oldest scoring result on a weekly basis. This was updated on August 14 2024.

Coefficient 1 = 1 to 5 entries
Coefficient 1.5 = 6 to 10 entries
Coefficient 2.0 = 11 to 15 entries
Coefficient 3.0 = 16 to 20 entries
Coefficient 3.5 = > 20 entries

1st classified - 45 points
2nd classified - 40 points
3rd classified - 35 points
4th classified - 30 points
5th classified - 25 points
6th classified - 20 points
7th classified - 18 points
8th classified - 16 points
9th classified - 14 points
10th classified - 12 points
11th classified - 10 points
12th classified - 9 points

16th classified - 5 points
17th classified - 4 points
18th classified - 3 points
