Tarzaan should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
1 - Lopez will defend his title
2 - Volvo will be the runner-up car, and win races
3 - Michelisz will be the best Honda driver, but honda will win only some races
4 - Lada also will win races and will fight with the factory Honda cars
5 - Chilton will win the WTCC trophy/former Yokohama trophy and can match with the non-Citroen factory cars.

little late from my side, but nevertheless:

1. Lopez will defend his title but it will be up to the last race and a tough one against Huffy
2. Volvo will enter a 3rd car before the end of the season
3. the Honda will at one point be the heaviest car
4. a new manufacturer will join for the asian rounds (one car only)
5. Nika will be doing a few races and then disappear again (even though I hope I'm wrong)

1) Not right, but I think that next year MAC3 will not be on the schedule.
2) Mmmh... no, but Bjork was fast in France
3) Wrong by just 1 point at the last lap of the championship...
4) Wrong, but without Marrakech...
5) Chilton and Bennani won, so right
