Calendar changes

For the first time in its history, the series calendar was shortened. Running at six rounds long, it is set to be the shortest International Touring Cup season to date.
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.
