World Touring Car Championship

The modern World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) started in 2005, replacing the old European Touring Car Championship. It is generally considered to be the most prestigious touring car championship in the world.

Nowadays motor sport is more and more sensitive to the environmental protection. And among motor sport's international categories, the FIA World Touring Car Championship is probably the most environmental friendly of them all.

Running at major international racing facilities, this series is heavily supported by BMW, Alfa Romeo and SEAT, with Chevrolet and Honda also showing limited support.

The Super 2000 racing car that take part in the WTCC are closely derived by modern production cars (as highlighted above), but also the championship's technical and sporting regulations have been carefully studied to limit the environmental impact in terms of air and noise pollution.
