''Worldwide''
{{main|TCR World Tour|World Touring Car Cup|World Touring Car Championship}}

Modern World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) started in [[2005 World Touring Car Championship season|2005]], evolving from the reborn [[European Touring Car Championship]]. The series merged with the [[TCR International Series]] and became the World Touring Car Cup (WTCR) starting from [[2018 World Touring Car Cup|2018]]. In [[2023 TCR World Tour|2023]], the WTCR was replaced by the [[TCR World Tour]].

Running at major international racing facilities, this series is supported by [[BMW]], [[SEAT]] and [[Chevrolet]]. The latter fields a works team, whereas the other two only sell racing kits to be installed on their cars, providing technical support to their customers. In 2011, [[Volvo Cars|Volvo]] also entered the championship, fielding a one-car team as an evaluation for a possible heavier commitment to the series. The World Touring Car Championship features 1.6-litre cars built to ''Super 2000'' regulations based on FIA [[Group N]].

Following the trend of recent FIA rules, cost control is a major theme in the technical regulation.
In 2011 the rules concerning the engine capacity have changed, switching from 2000 cc to 1600 cc turbo engines. Cars equipped with the old 2000 cc engines are still eligible in the championship. Many technologies that have featured in production cars are not allowed, for example: variable valve timing, variable intake geometry, [[Anti-lock braking system|ABS braking]] and [[traction control system|traction control]].

===British Touring Car Championship===

''United Kingdom''
{{main|British Touring Car Championship}}

The British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) currently competes at nine circuits in the UK with cars built to [[Next Generation Touring Car]] specification, with ballast being used to equalise performance. From [[2011 British Touring Car Championship season|2011]], cars that ran to the BTCC's own [[Next Generation Touring Car]] specification were eligible to compete in a phased move away from [[Super 2000]] regulations. Cars are 2.0-litre [[Sedan (automobile)|saloons]], [[station wagon]]s and [[hatchback]]s with over {{convert|350|bhp|abbr=on}} and can be front or rear-wheel drive. During the [[2016 British Touring Car Championship season|2016 season]] manufacturer team entries came from BMW, [[Subaru]], [[MG Cars|MG]], and [[Honda]]. Since BTCC budgets have been kept relatively low, there is a strong independent and privateer presence in the championship. Manufacturers represented by privateers include [[Vauxhall Motors|Vauxhall]], [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]], [[Toyota]], [[Volkswagen]], Chevrolet, and [[Audi]].

Prior to 2001 the BTCC was contested by cars built to 2.0-litre supertouring regulations and had in its heyday up to nine different manufacturers. [[Joachim Winkelhock]] stated on several occasions that it was the best touring car championship in the world,{{Citation needed|date=June 2008}} and many champions of that era now race in the [[World Touring Car Championship]] (WTCC). Between 2002 and 2006 the BTCC ran its own Touring class with Super Production/Super 2000 cars making up the numbers; the Touring class was phased out (only privateers are eligible to run old Touring cars) with the intention of a pure Super 2000 series. The introduction of the [[Next Generation Touring Car]] specification, from [[2011 British Touring Car Championship season|2011]], started a phased transition from Super 2000 cars in an effort to cut costs and improve the sport.

{{main|Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters}}

The DTM series, the initials standing for ''Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft'' until 1996, then following a hiatus, revived as ''Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters'' in 2000, features advanced purpose built 2.0-litre [[four-cylinder]] turbo-powered [[space frame]] machines, covered with largely [[carbon fibre]] bodyshapes resembling the manufacturers' road machine (although the roof and roof pillars do originate from the production car).<ref>{{cite web |author=Audi UK|title=Audi UK > Experience > Motorsport > DTM > The Audi A4 DTM|url=http://www.audi.co.uk/audi/uk/en2/experience/Motorsport/dtm/The_Audi_A4_DTM.html |publisher=Audi.co.uk |date=6 May 2009 |access-date=20 August 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081003102032/http://www.audi.co.uk/audi/uk/en2/experience/Motorsport/dtm/The_Audi_A4_DTM.html |archive-date=3 October 2008 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> In order to lower costs, the engine power is limited to {{convert|610|hp|abbr=on|kW}},<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=m8TsygLyfSMC&q=In+order+to+lower+costs,+the+engine+power+is+limited+to+600+hp+(450+kW)&pg=PA556|title=Biographical Dictionary of the History of Technology|last1=Day|first1=Lance|last2=McNeil|first2=Ian|date=2002-09-11|publisher=Routledge|isbn=9781134650200|language=en}}</ref> and transmissions, brakes and tyres (Hankook) are standard parts for all. Also, dimensions and aerodynamics are equalised. The approx. {{convert|985|kg|lb|abbr=on}} (without driver) DTM cars corner incredibly quickly and wear spectacular bodykits incorporating huge wheel arches and diffusers, plus a drag-reduction system (DRS) designed to encourage overtaking.

More than 20 works-backed entries of the [[Opel Astra]], [[Audi TT]] and [[Mercedes-Benz CLK]] contested the revived 2000 DTM series but a serious issue developed for the series when Opel pulled out ahead of the 2006 season.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://au.motorsport.com/dtm/news/opel-to-be-withdrawn-after-2005/1184209/|title=Opel to be withdrawn after 2005|website=au.motorsport.com|date=24 October 2004 |language=en|access-date=2020-02-26}}</ref> BMW would eventually replace Opel as the series' third manufacturer for 2012,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.caradvice.com.au/109900/bmw-to-enter-dtm-series-in-2012-with-six-m3-touring-cars/|title=BMW to enter DTM series in 2012 with six M3 touring cars {{!}} CarAdvice|website=CarAdvice.com|language=en|access-date=2020-02-26}}</ref> while [[Mercedes-AMG]] withdrew at the end of 2018.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://au.motorsport.com/dtm/news/mercedes-to-quit-dtm-after-2018-confirms-formula-e-entry-934184/3037794/|title=Mercedes to quit DTM after 2018, confirms Formula E entry|website=au.motorsport.com|date=24 July 2017 |language=en|access-date=2020-02-26}}</ref> Mercedes-AMG was replaced by a privately funded [[Aston Martin]] [[Aston Martin Vantage DTM|Vantage]] program that did not last beyond the 2019 season.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://au.motorsport.com/dtm/news/rmotorsport-aston-martin-vantage-hwa/4678089/|title=Aston Martin rules out HWA running Vantages in DTM|website=au.motorsport.com|date=29 January 2020 |language=en|access-date=2020-02-26}}</ref>

For the 2019 season, major technical changes occurred. Turbochargers were reintroduced in accordance with new regulations impacting engines and power outputs, as all cars are now required to have 2.0-litre 4-cylinder single turbo engines, replacing the 4.0L V8s that had been used since the series' revival in 2000. Engine power was increased from ~500&nbsp;hp to 610&nbsp;hp, with an extra 30&nbsp;hp available as part of a [[Push-to-pass|push-to-pass system]] available to drivers for the first time.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.audi.com/en/experience-audi/audi-sport/audi-racing-models/rs-5-dtm.html|title=RS 5 DTM|website=audi.com|language=en|access-date=2020-02-26|archive-date=7 March 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210307231407/https://www.audi.com/en/experience-audi/audi-sport/audi-racing-models/rs-5-dtm.html|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bmw-motorsport.com/en/topics/magazine-article-pool/dtm-class-1-era-turbo.html|title=BMW M4 DTM Turbomotor|website=www.bmw-motorsport.com|language=en-SM|access-date=2020-02-26}}</ref> Downforce levels were also reduced to encourage overtaking and increase top speeds to 300&nbsp;km/h (186&nbsp;mph) in order to improve the racing spectacle.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.autosport.com/dtm/news/140837/dtm-2019-cars-will-be-23s-faster|title=DTM's Class One cars for 2019 season will be 2-3s faster|last=Errington|first=Tom|website=Autosport.com|language=en|access-date=2020-02-26}}</ref>

In 2019, DTM formed a partnership with the Japanese sports car series [[Super GT]] which runs a near identical set of rules and regulations in its GT500 class. Honda, Toyota – represented via [[Lexus]], and [[Nissan]] each entered a wildcard entry for the final race of the 2019 season at the [[Hockenheimring]]. The cars entered were a [[Nissan GT-R]] (R35), a [[Lexus LC 500]] and a [[Honda NSX (second generation)|Honda NSX]]. For the weekend of the 22nd-24 November, DTM sent three BMW M4s and four Audi RS5s to take part in a non-championship race at [[Fuji Speedway]] along with the full GT500 grid, labelled the 'SUPER GT x DTM Dream Race'. Aston Martin withdrew from the event as they intended to focus on developing the Vantage package for 2020, however this never eventuated as the program was ended.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.touringcartimes.com/2019/09/14/r-motorsport-miss-dtm-super-gt-joint-race-fuji/|title=R-Motorsport to miss DTM and Super GT joint race at Fuji|date=2019-09-14|website=TouringCarTimes|language=en-US|access-date=2020-02-26}}</ref>

Audi announced in late April 2020 that they would be discontinuing their involvement in the series after the end of the 2020 season, following the same path Mercedes-Benz did after the end of the 2018 season; focusing on electric motorsport, most notably [[Formula E]]. This will leave BMW as the sole manufacturer left, putting the series' future in serious jeopardy.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.autosport.com/dtm/news/149182/audi-to-quit-dtm-at-the-end-of-2020|title=DTM News: Audi to quit series at the end of 2020|date=2020-04-27|website=Autosport.com|language=en|access-date=2020-06-30}}</ref>

===Nürburgring NLS Endurance Racing Series===
''Germany''
{{main|Nürburgring Langstrecken Serie}}

Since 1997, and nowadays still on the over {{convert|20|km}} long famous old [[Nürburgring]] and other circuits worldwide, in average over 150 touring cars compete in the NLS series of ten typically four-hour-long races. Cars range from old {{convert|100|hp|abbr=on}} road legal compacts to {{convert|500|hp|abbr=on}} [[Porsche 996]] and even modified DTM cars ({{convert|1250|kg|lb|abbr=on}}). Most entrants of the 24 Hours Nürburgring collect experience here.

{{main|Scandinavian Touring Car Championship}}

Between [[1996 Swedish Touring Car Championship season|1996]] and [[2010 Swedish Touring Car Championship season|2010]] the [[Swedish Touring Car Championship]] contained various races in [[Sweden]] and a few in [[Denmark]]. The most successful car makes were Volvo, BMW, Audi, and Nissan. In 2010 the championship merged with the [[Danish Touringcar Championship]] to form the [[Scandinavian Touring Car Championship]]. The [[2010 Swedish Touring Car Championship season|2010]] champion was [[Robert Dahlgren]], because he had achieved the best results from selected races in the Danish and Swedish championships. [[Rickard Rydell]] and [[Johan Kristoffersson]] won the championship in [[2011 Scandinavian Touring Car Championship season|2011]] and [[2012 Scandinavian Touring Car Championship season|2012]], in a [[Chevrolet Cruze|Chevrolet]] and a [[Volkswagen Scirocco|VW]], respectively. In 2013 the series merged with the [[TTA – Racing Elite League]] to form the [[2013 STCC – Racing Elite League season]], starring 17 drivers for Volvo, BMW, [[Saab Automobile|Saab]], [[Citroën]], [[Automobile Dacia|Dacia]], and Honda.

Formerly the [[Australian Touring Car Championship]], Supercars are recognised internationally as the 'fastest touring cars in the world' racing at speeds that can reach nearly 300&nbsp;km/h. They are also the most expensive touring cars in the world with each car costing in excess of $1 million (AUD) which includes bespoke $250,000 (AUD) 5.0-litre [[V8 engine|V8]] engines producing approximately 635&nbsp;hp (473&nbsp;kW).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.supercars.com/news/championship/2020-engine-rule-changes-locked-in/|title=2020 engine rule changes locked in|website=Supercars|language=en|access-date=2020-02-25}}</ref> The current formula was devised in 1993 (based on Group A regulations) and branded as 'V8 Supercars' in 1997 and 'Supercars' in 2016. The series features grids of approximately 25 cars, although selected events feature wildcard entries which add to the grid. The cars are currently based on the [[Ford Mustang (sixth generation)|Ford Mustang GT]] and [[Holden Commodore (ZB)]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.speedcafe.com/2020/02/23/confirmed-no-commodore-for-wau-in-2021/|title=CONFIRMED: No Commodore for WAU in 2021|date=2020-02-23|website=Speedcafe|language=en-US|access-date=2020-02-28}}</ref> The minimum weight for a Supercar including driver is {{convert|1395|kg|lb|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.supercars.com/news/championship/weight-reduction-for-supercars-in-2019/|title=Weight reduction for Supercars in 2019|website=Supercars|language=en|access-date=2020-02-25}}</ref>  The Commodore will be replaced by a [[Chevrolet Camaro]] in 2022.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Pavey |first=James |date=16 March 2022 |title=Tasmania debut for new-look Gen3 Camaro prototype |url=https://www.supercars.com/news/championship/tasmania-debut-for-new-look-gen3-camaro-prototype/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220516024214/https://www.supercars.com/news/championship/tasmania-debut-for-new-look-gen3-camaro-prototype/ |archive-date=2022-05-16 |access-date=2022-05-16 |website=Supercars}}</ref>  The race cars themselves are derived from production body panels and [[space frame]] chassis.

The series incorporates the world famous [[Bathurst 1000]] race as a championship round. Because of the longer distance, regulations require two drivers per car for this race. This also applies to [[The Bend 500]] & the [[Gold Coast 600]]. These events make up the [[Pirtek Enduro Cup]], which is a championship-within-a-championship where the driver combination with most points collected over these three endurance races wins a trophy.

In Australia, Supercars enjoys a strong support base that is still driven in large part by the tribal Ford versus [[Holden]] battle.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-02-19/holden-ford-rivalry-over-but-supercars-future-safe/11975098|title=Will taking away the Ford vs Holden battles kill off Supercars?

As the series has grown, major international motorsport organisations have become involved such as [[Team Penske]], [[Andretti Autosport]], [[United Autosports]] and [[Triple Eight Race Engineering (Australia)|Triple Eight Race Engineering]].

Both Ford and Holden financially and technically supported their favoured teams and took an active role in promotion of the series from its beginning, but began to wind back and ultimately withdraw their financial commitments approximately in line with the decline in sales and eventual discontinuation of the [[Ford Falcon (Australia)|Falcon]] in 2016<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.drive.com.au/motor-news/final-ford-falcon-rolls-off-the-line-20161007-grxhv1|title=Final Ford Falcon rolls off the line{{dash}}The final Ford Falcon|last=Ottley|first=Stephen|date=2016-10-13|website=Drive|language=en-au|access-date=2020-02-28}}</ref> and [[Holden Commodore|Commodore]] in 2020 (the two models that exclusively competed in the V8 formula from 1993 to 2012).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-12-10/holden-announces-end-of-commodore-from-2020/11786056|title=Holden's flagship Commodore brand reaches the end of the road|date=2019-12-10|website=ABC News|language=en-AU|access-date=2020-02-28}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://carsales.com.au/editorial/details/motorsport-holden-spending-less-on-v8-supercars-18178/|title=MOTORSPORT: Holden spending less on V8 Supercars|website=carsales.com.au|access-date=2020-02-25}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.drive.com.au/motor-news/ford-cuts-back-on-v8-funding-20080703-144ne|title=Ford cuts back on V8 funding|last=Hand|first=Guy|date=2016-10-03|website=Drive|language=en-au|access-date=2020-02-25}}</ref> Ford withdrew all financial support after [[2015 International V8 Supercars Championship|2015]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.supercars.com/news/championship/official-ford-out-of-v8-supercars/|title=Official: Ford out of V8 Supercars!|website=Supercars|language=en|access-date=2020-02-25}}</ref> and Holden cut most of its support back to only the [[Triple Eight Race Engineering|Red Bull Holden Racing Team]] from 2017.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.supercars.com/news/championship/holden-commits-to-supercars/|title=Holden commits to Supercars|website=Supercars|language=en|access-date=2020-02-28}}</ref> Holden was shut down as a brand during 2020, ending its factory involvement in Supercars after the [[2020 Supercars Championship|2020 season]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.caradvice.com.au/827459/holden-axed-in-australia-as-general-motors-gets-out-of-right-hand-drive-globally/|title=Holden axed in Australia as General Motors gets out of right-hand-drive globally {{!}} CarAdvice|website=CarAdvice.com|language=en|access-date=2020-02-28}}</ref> while Ford returned for the [[2019 Supercars Championship|2019]] season with the Mustang project.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://au.motorsport.com/v8supercars/news/mustang-supercars-1027167/3056897/|title=Ford returns to Supercars with Mustang|website=au.motorsport.com|language=en|access-date=2020-02-25}}</ref>  The Commodore will be replaced with a [[Chevrolet Camaro]], which will be sold in Australia by General Motors Specialty Vehicles.
