Current season |
The Russian Circuit Racing Series (RCRS) is a national Russian racing series created in 2004. It incorporates four classes: touring, super-production, touring-light and the national class. Sergey Krylov has been the championship's promoter since 2004.
The international category where cars with two-litre engines and some physical alterations compete. The championship is similar in class to conditions in most other European countries that compete for the Cup of Europe ETCC and the World Championship WTCC.
Typical representatives include: BMW 320, Audi A4, Subaru BRZ, Honda Civic and Accord, Chevrolet Lacetti and Cruze, SEAT León.
Specifications:
In 2015 it was announced that cars under the new TCR regulations (as used in the TCR International Series) will be eligible to compete alongside the Touring class, but also have their standalone classification.
Typical representatives include: SEAT León Cup Racer and Renault Megane RS
This class is also called "Easy Touring" but it is not casual. Small cars with 1600cc engines compete in this class, though these can be tuned into quite serious pieces of apparatus. There are similar classes in many countries and they serve as a good training ground for those who, in the future, wish to participate in higher classes of Touring Car racing.
Typical representatives include: Ford Fiesta, VW Polo, Lada Kalina, Citroën Saxo, Kia Rio
