The full WSC letter directed to owners of TCR cars in the UK:

To: TCR Car owners in UK

29th November 2024

Subject: Official notice by WSC ltd

Dear Sirs,

This notice is issued regarding the unauthorized use of TCR cars in unofficial racing series in the UK.

It has recently come to our attention that certain promoters of racing series in the UK have advertised their acceptance of TCR cars for participation in their events, either explicitly or through the use of images depicting TCR cars.

These actions create the false impression that these series are in some way affiliated with or authorized by TCR, owned and promoted by World Sporting Consulting Ltd (hereinafter “WSC”).

Such representations are misleading and constitute unfair competition. WSC is the sole owner and official promoter of the TCR regulations, the exclusive owner of the TCR trademarks and brand, and the only entity authorized to grant TCR homologation to cars that comply with TCR Technical Specifications. Furthermore, WSC holds exclusive rights to all TCR intellectual property and is the sole authority empowered to license TCR competitions and related activities.

WSC has granted exclusive rights to Maximum Motorsport Limited to promote the TCR series in the UK. This includes the use of the TCR brand and trademarks within the licensed territory, the organization and management of TCR series, and the production and commercialization of merchandise bearing the TCR National name and logo.

We hereby notify you that WSC will pursue legal action against any unauthorized series that misuse the TCR brand, trademarks, or intellectual property.

Additionally, any TCR car participating in these unauthorized competitions will be blacklisted in our system, rendering it ineligible for future participation in any official TCR competitions. Such vehicles will also lose their TCR homologation status, consequentially not eligible to be sold anymore as TCR cars.

TCR car Manufacturers will be notified of this status change.

WSC remains committed to collaborating with stakeholders who respect the rules and the integrity of the Sport.
