The 2016 TCR International Series Imola round will be the fourth round of the 2016 TCR International Series season. It took place on 22 May at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari.
Stefano Comini won the first race, starting from fourth position, driving a Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR, and Mikhail Grachev gained the second one, driving a Honda Civic TCR.
Ballast Due to the results obtained in the previous round, Aku Pellinen received +30 kg, Pepe Oriola +20 kg and Jean-Karl Vernay +10 kg. Nevertheless, Pellinen didn't take part at this event, so he would have taken the ballast at the first round he would have participated.
