• Though returning alongside two other established touring cups, the Brazilian round would be the only example of a returning circuit for the 2016 season.
• Both the British and Portuguese Touring Cups returned, both traveling to new circuits; Donington Park and the Autódromo do Estoril respectively.
• Three brand new touring cups were established for this season based in Poland, France and Dubai.
