Rydell gets replaced at Nika by Nestor Girolami for 2 of the upcoming rounds of the championship

Boring first race at Slovakiaring.

Boring second race at Slovakiaring.

disapointing round , france shouldn't be better next weekend :C


Manuel Pedro Fernandez set for WTCC debut at Vila Real

WTCC set for first Friday race with Qatar finale date change

Like they ever cared about a clash with F1. This weekend for instance, with race 2 start scheduled at the same time as the start of the Austrian GP...

a round middle in the season is not the same as the seasonfinale

Erm yeah this is actually live right now....haha

And no one cares

Lopez/Monteiro

WTCC bosses quit supporting the Macau event because of the times of the races and unfavourable TV slots (for European audiences), so instead the season finale with be a night race at Qatar... on a Friday... what fucking awesome logic

With empty grandstands, naturally.

They love their motor racing in that region

All down to money and not the bullshit excuse they gave.

No one really cares about WTCC anymore anyway.

there are many reasons why they decided to replace macau with qatar, not just because of the tv time slot.

like the long time it takes to ship the cars back europe from macau. cars came back at the end of january, while from qatar it will only take around 2 weeks to ship the cars back to europe. the teams barely had time to test and prepare the cars for the next season as they had to ship them already in february for the season opening round in argentina in march.

also the very high risk of cars getting damged/destroyed in macau is also a lot more higher than in qatar, one of the main reasons why the teams where unhappy with macau as the finale.

So if that is the case (and I don't doubt you) then why doesn't the WTCC just come out and say these things, instead of creating some bullshit excuses? It just makes the series look silly(er).

Citroen will leave either WRC or WTCC after 2016 due to their involvement with Formula E.

With the way those programmes are going at the moment, I'd say they were more likely to drop WRC.

Scratch this, he didn't manage to get an international racing license.

awesome track, much better than Porto

Another great track for WTCC. Shame it is only a single year agreement for the circuit. It appears WTCC will visit less European tracks from 2016 and onward.

Vila Real might stay in the schedule, France and Slovakia are likely being dropped and replaced with a streetrace in Santa Fe and another round in Asia (probably Korea if Kia joins WTCC). there are also rumors of WTCC racing at Mexico City.
