My guess that it will be 17 (+ Coronel, 1 Munnich car and one of the Hondas (Zengo or Nika).

MUCH better that one! I guess they were afraid of losing out between the bright blue Volvo's and the bright blue Lada's

Also good to see that Chiltons livery matches the base design of Bennani's car.

As for Citroen - finally they won't win the worst livery contest, which is great

Thanks for the LT

Not so big surprise from KIA, don't forget that Hyundai (same group) has already developped a 1.6L Turbo motor for the i20 WRC.

Still not convinced about that KIA. WTCCBlog posted a brightened picture, looks more like a TCR bodykit to me? Also the new Optima would be a more logical choice for a worldwide assault, the Civic has shown that a hatchback has a huge disadvantage.



I'd love to be proven wrong though!

I think the wheel arches are too wide for TCR, looks very TC1 for me

would be great news, question is when and who

€: is that what a Kia TCR car should look like? sounds like Stohl Racing will enter TCR with that one, they were already testing at the Salzburgring
https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.n...86420254_o.jpg
looks very completely different from the above posted picture

€2: ok that's the Stohl developed Kia K3 for CTCC

Look at the grills on the bonnet. That is definitely a TC1 car. There are no works teams in TCR, why should KIA enter it? Stohl Racing might really develop a KIA on their own, but I believe that a "global program" means something else.

Agree that hatchback would be a wrong choice.

Looks like a KIA K3S for CTCC in China?

Edit: I mean the car Stohl Racing is apparently testing.

But why would KIA Austria announce this?

Edit: It wouldn't be a works team if Stohl Racing entered the car I guess.
