Paul Ricard
Circuit Paul Ricard hosts the TCR World Tour for the first time in 2026. A combination of intense turns and fast straights - including the Mistral Straight, one of the longest on any permanent racing circuit in Europe - shapes the racing experience. Opened in April 1970, the facility set new standards in track design through its permanent infrastructure with modern safety provisions. The circuit hosted 14 editions of the Formula One French Grand Prix between 1971 and 1990. Paul Ricard replaces Monza as the third round of the 2026 TCR World Tour.
