Until 2015, the four TC brands have distributed their titles as follows: Ford achieved the highest award 11 times, Chevrolet achieved 6 crowns, while Dodge obtained 5 crowns and Torino 3 crowns.

Currently, the championship is defined by means of a Play Off system implemented by ACTC, which puts into play the Río Uruguay Seguros Silver Cup and also grants a limited number of promotions to the higher category.

Monoicy
Monoicy is a sexual system in haploid plants (mainly bryophytes) where both sperm and eggs are produced on the same gametophyte, in contrast with dioicy, where each gametophyte produces only sperm or eggs but never both. Both monoicous and dioicous gametophytes produce gametes in gametangia by mitosis rather than meiosis, so that sperm and eggs are genetically identical with their parent gametophyte.

It has been suggested that monoicy may have benefits in dry habitats where the ability to produce sporophytes is limited due to lack of water.: 292

Monoicy is similar to, and often conflated with, monoecy, which applies to seed plants (spermatophytes) and refers to separate male and female cones or flowers on the same plant.
