The 2025 TCR Brazil Touring Car Championship was the third season of TCR Brazil Touring Car Championship.^[1]

At the Curvelo (MG) round, which counted for both TCR Brazil Touring Car Championship and TCR South America, Argentine drivers dominated the overall standings, maintaining their lead in the championship.
Still, Brazilian drivers achieved strong results — for example, Pedro Cardoso claimed victory at Termas de Río Hondo (Argentina) in a TCR South America race, showing that Brazilian representation remains competitive.
The Brazilian grid features a mix of experienced racers and newcomers. Besides Cardoso and Raphael Reis, former F1 driver Nelson Piquet Jr. is also competing in 2025, aiming for top results.
In the Trophy Cup (a parallel class within the championship), young Brazilian Maria Nienkötter has been a highlight, reflecting the category’s renewal and inclusiveness.

🎯 Current Situation and What to Expect

Since the TCR Brazil Touring Car Championship season has only four rounds, each race carries significant weight in the title fight.
Brazilian drivers remain in contention, but Argentine competitors have held the early advantage, particularly in South American events.
The upcoming Velocitta (SP) round in October is seen as a key opportunity for the Brazilian drivers to regain ground, as it’s a home circuit.
The Interlagos finale in December is expected to be decisive for both the title and team strategies heading into 2026.
