The TCR China Touring Car Championship is a touring car racing series based in China. The series was officially launched in December 2016, ahead of a five-round 2017 championship season, with the slight name change from Chinese to China.[1][2] In 2024, the TCR China Challenge was established to split the field due to an excessive number of cars in the main championship.

TCR China Challenge
The TCR China Challenge (also known as the TCR China Challenge Series or originally TCR中国挑战赛) forms part of the TCR China Touring Car Championship. The series was established shortly before the start of the 2024 TCR China Touring Car Championship season, after the main championship reached a high number of entries. To accommodate the growing grid, the field was divided into two categories: the TCR China Championship and the TCR China Challenge. The Challenge was intended primarily for privateer drivers, smaller teams, and gentleman drivers.[6]
In its inaugural 2024 season, Li Guang Hua (李光华) won the drivers' title by a margin of just 1 point.[7] From the 2025 season onwards, the Challenge is expected to share most of its race weekends with the main TCR China championship. While competing in the same races, Challenge drivers are classified separately, meaning they score full points based on their position within the Challenge class, regardless of their overall race position. From the 2026 season onwards, the TCR China Challenge will be discontinued, as the series returns to a single championship format under the TCR China Touring Car Championship.
