The Automobile Club of Monaco denies the presence of the TCR Series in 2017

On November 28, the TCR International Series published its 2017 version calendar, which mentioned the holding of a race on the sidelines of the Monaco Grand Prix on May 28. A major addition for the touring championship.

However, this Saturday, the Automobile Club of Monaco issued a press release denying this information. “The TCR International Series issued a press release on November 28, 2016 announcing their calendar for the 2017 season. It is indicated that the fourth round of this championship will take place on May 28, 2017, alongside the Monaco Grand Prix in Formula 1.

The Automobile Club of Monaco formally denies this false information. No contact has ever been established between the TCR International Series and the Automobile Club de Monaco. This is the reason why, during the FIA ​​World Council held in Vienna (Austria) on November 30, 2016, the Automobile Club of Monaco clarified during the vote on the calendars of the International Series its refusal to register this event on the Monaco Circuit. »

The TCR International Series teams have not yet responded to these statements.
