WTCC Pre-season Polls

It's not a prediction, it's a go with your gut. With a very different start to the year.

Alfa are no longer factory supported, but know their package well. Could well be argued they have the weakest line-up though.

Chevrolet have a full year of development in play, and a bigger budget than Alfa - they also have the same good line-up as last year.

BMW have a new car and a new engine to get to grips with, but mostly the same stars as before.

Seat have the strongest Touring Car line up ever, but are they over stretched and crammed full of ego? And with only half a year development on the car too.

So who's your favourite for the second WTCC champion?

I would say Alfa haven't got a "champion" driver in their line-up (Farfus champion?! )

I reckon it will be between the BMWs, I just can't see SEAT taking the fight to them.

Realistically it should be Dirk for the simple reason he's in the best team, but I'm going for Priaulx again - he always seems to come through and show up BMWs favourite team! Come on Andy!!!

Personally Im thinking it will be Priaulx once again, he is extremely quick and consistant and never lets his head drop.

Gotta go with Priaulx really, he did well last season and I don't think this season will be any different tbh.

I like Priaulx, but I don't think he can do it again. If SEAT got their package together I think it's time for super swede Rydell

I hope a non-BMW driver will win, but being realistic I think the title will go to Dirk Muller, Jorg Muller or Andy Priaulx. The Schnitzer drivers have my preference above Priaulx.

Behind the BMWs I expect a hard battle between SEAT and ALFA. Chevrolet will probably be in front at some events but at the end I don't think they score more points than SEAT or ALFA.

In the Independents Championship I think Coronel will win.

I think Priaulx will reach another level this year. He will be champion again, with more race wins.

Yeh think that's my opinion too.

He's one of those drivers that does just enough to be the best, and knows when not to get involved in tricky situations.
