One of many national touring car championships to utilise the TCR regulations debuted by the TCR International Series in 2015, TCR Mexico launched in 2024. These regulations provide a relatively accessible means of racing full-on customer tin-tops, with models available from a wide range of manufacturers.
Following the entry of a selection of TCR cars in the Copa Notiauto’s 24-hour endurance event at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in late 2023, TCR Mexico launched as an established class in its own right for the 2024 season. This championship follows the traditional format of two sprint races per round, and runs as part of the Copa Notiauto alongside a variety of other classes. An endurance series also launched at the same time, running as part of the Copa Notiauto’s endurance events.
For 2025 the sprint and endurance series were combined, with a roughly even split in the calendar. This simplified things - rather than having two similarly named championships running alongside one another - but did create a slightly baffling points system. Entry numbers have been a little inconsistent, with the endurance events fairing much better, though visits by the TCR World Tour and a support slot on the Mexican Grand Prix weekend are helping boost grid sizes.
