@Fulvio I'm afraid you are not wrong. Worse than the total agony of the championship is the quality of the field.

The field was never announced right after the closing date, so there can actually be new entries (they should release it somewhere in two weeks time). An entry from a team may have been submitted but they probably still seek a driver with budget so they can't announce it. Although, to be honest I also expect a small grid. |

Go to see Volvo sign Catsburg, their team really has a strong lineup and can see them challenging from the title from the off. Good luck to them, Volvo love their racing

Gregoire Demoustier to WorldRX, French GT4, European GT4 and TCR International. Looks like no WTCC this season.

Demoustier is gone. Perhaps WTCC went to the morgue today.

Isn't their a requirement of a minimum of 16 cars to retain the "FIA World" status?

And with Supercars switching to new engine rules, Holden switching to Insignia based car, Ford also switching to Mustang or something else I hope WTCC switches to Supercars rules. |

I prefer them making a car that looks like an Alfa rather than a generic business saloon with an Alfa grille...

No. It's too generic, apart from the grille it might as well be an Infiniti, BMW or Audi.

That could possibly happen... if the championship could ever survive to the 2017 season, that happears to be a great delusion.
Let's see if they extract a rabbit from the hat thuesday, at the Monza preseason test day. |

It's not looking good so far, and well-kept secrets in motor racing are as rare as hen's teeth.

Although I agree WTCC should have adopted NGTC rules you can't compare an international series with a national series.

Sometimes a series just needs to die to make room for a fresh start. WTCC Mk.2 has had a pretty good run, but right now it has reached the point where it's just a shadow of its former self, with the last decent season lying over half a decade in the past.
