Rounds 9&10 of the World Touring Car Championship - 2nd - 4th July
AUTÓDROMO INTERNACIONAL DO ALGARVE



Introduction

• New track, old country. The World Touring Car Championship heads to Portugal next, at a new venue and with a new driver in tow, last years BTCC champion Colin Turkington. Turkington has raced in the WTCC before as a guest entry in 2007's race at Brands Hatch where he finished 3rd and 4th. Will he match this performance? We'll just have to wait and see. Algarve should be interesting, as it's one of the longest and most challenging tracks this season. Also how will the SEAT's fair at a track like this, with it's long straights and constant changes in elevation?
