Following a number of seasons in which the TCR Benelux title has been contested within the frame of TCR Europe, it has been confirmed that the 2023 season will see the relationship between the two championships continue.
A four-event TCR Benelux championship has been announced, although there is one big change to the regulations compared to previous years. In the past, eligibility for the TCR Benelux title has been confined to drivers or teams with nationality in either Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg or France but for 2023 it has been extended to drivers and teams from any country.

TCR Europe Promoter Paulo Ferreira commented: “We have enjoyed a long and successful relationship with the TCR Benelux organisers and I am proud that they have chosen to work with us again this year. The events they have chosen will provide a tough challenge for the drivers and teams and so once again the fight for the title will provide great competition and a good spectacle for the fans.”
