The grand finale of the weekend in Spain is here, and it is time for the ultimate tactical showdown! The unrelenting touring car action reaches its climax with Race 3 of the Kumho FIA TCR World Tour 2026 Valencia.
While Race 1 tested raw speed and Race 2 unleashed the chaos of a reverse grid, Race 3 introduces the ultimate mathematical twist. Under the championship's high-stakes Format 3 regulations, the starting grid for Race 3 is not determined by a single qualifying lap or a lottery—it is formed by the exact sum of points scored across Qualifying, Race 1, and Race 2.
The driver who has executed the most flawless, consistent weekend takes pole position, followed by the next highest points-earner, and so on. This creates a high-pressure grid where every single position change, fastest lap, and bonus point from the previous two days directly dictates your survival in the grand finale.
The backdrop remains the claustrophobic, ultra-technical 3.136-kilometer external circuit layout at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo. Because participation in Race 3 is purely optional for the local TCR Spain Touring Car Championship field, the grid distills down to the absolute elite, hardcore World Tour contenders hunting down crucial championship points.
