What is WTCC?

The World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) is an international racing championship organized by the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). Inaugurated in 2005 this championship includes 12 races in 12 different countries and tracks. The drivers are awarded points depending on how they place. After the last race, the driver with the most points wins the championship.

According to the well known Brazilian driver Augusto Farfus  "It's a quite simple championship, because to race the car must have four doors, two-liter engine, we don't care about how many cylinders it has, if it has four, five, or six cylinder. And the factory must produce minimum 10,000 cars a year…road cars. It must sell 10,000 cars, and that is all. The race formats are two races, about 30 minutes each, it's normally 50 [kilometers]. "

And according to him WTCC is different from other car races because of this "I think one of the best things that we have in the race that we use is the same car that you have in your garage. And the public, everybody who supports our race…they go to the track to support the same car as [they have in the] garage. And sometimes we see a guy who [supports] Alfa Romeo because his neighbor has a BMW so he wants to see his Alfa Romeo win..."

According WTCC: "Citroën, Honda and LADA all field factory teams in the WTCC, while Chevrolet has endorsed a car built to the new-for-2014 technical regulations, which require the use of mass-production five-door cars fitted with 1.6-litre direct injection turbocharged engines and a number of aerodynamic aids. Several privateer drivers and teams also take part and contest a trophy supported by the WTCC’s official tyre partner, Yokohama.

Eurosport Events produces extensive television coverage of the WTCC with races broadcast live. The company also provides its expertise in co-ordinating the championship and managing all aspects of media rights distribution, promotions and relations, social media and commercial partnerships."
