The 2017 TCR International Series Hungaroring round was the sixth round of the 2017 TCR International Series season. It took place on 18 June at the Hungaroring.

Attila Tassi won both races starting from third position in Race 1 and eighth position in Race 2, driving a Honda Civic Type-R TCR.

Ballast[edit]

Due to the results obtained in the previous round, Stefano Comini received +30 kilograms (66 lb), Dušan Borković +20 kilograms (44 lb) and both Roberto Colciago and Thomas Jäger +10 kilograms (22 lb). Nevertheless, Jäger didn't take part at this event, so he didn't take the ballast. ^[1]

The Balance of Performance was also adjusted for this event, meaning the Honda Civic Type-R TCRs was given an additional +10 kilograms (22 lb), having already had +30 kilograms (66 lb), in addition to its minimum weight of 1,285 kilograms (2,833 lb). The SEAT León TCRs and Volkswagen Golf GTI TCRs was also given a weight break, going down -10 kg.^[2]
