The introduction of the new South American-based TCR Championship was announced on 4 March 2020, with Néstor Girolami saying “I think it’s the right time for South America to have a TCR series.” He continued with “It is a perfect opportunity and the most important in my view is that young drivers may join with the aim of climbing the hierarchy and, eventually, arriving on top to the WTCR. As a Honda driver I would be delighted to represent the brand in this new series to showcase their product in South America.”
