CURITIBA HOSTS WTCC OPENING ROUND

The start of the 2007 FIA World Touring Car Championship is just a few days away.

The series’ third season will get underway this weekend at the Autódromo Internacional de Curitiba, Brazil.

This is the second time the 3.7 km circuit hosts the WTCC.

Last year the World Championship visited Curitiba for the first time at the beginning of July; a record crowd of 34,000 attended two thrilling races that were won by Jordi Gené (SEAT León) – after an exciting fight with pole sitter and local hero Augusto Farfus (Alfa Romeo) – and eventual World Champion Andy Priaulx (BMW 320si).

And now it is up to the drivers who will fight the battle to depose Priaulx from the FIA Touring Car throne that he has occupied for three years.

Challenges to the Briton will not only come from his fellow BMW drivers but also from the strong teams entered by SEAT Sport and Chevrolet, while James Thompson with his Alfa Romeo 156 and 2006 Independent champion Tom Coronel will contend as serious dark horses.

All the ingredients are there for another season made of twenty-two exciting races.
