1. Introduction In 2017 the Clio Cup Benelux will race together with the TCR Benelux. It will remain a separate Championship with its own winners podium and drivers ranking. The TCR format will however enable teams and drivers to share one car or drive the entire weekend themselves. The price for the winner of the Clio Cup Benelux will be a test in the RS.01. With this new format we expect good grids and close competitive racing at top level circuits and events.
