From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2019 Dunlop Touring Car Trophy is the inaugural season of the Touring Car Trophy. The championship features production-based touring cars built to either NGTC, TCR or Super 2000 specifications and will compete in ten races across five meetings across England. The championship is aimed as a feeder category to the BTCC and operated by Stewart Lines' Maximum Group. On April 5, it was announced that TCR UK had merged into the series and will be represented by the TCR class.[1]
